It's just FOUR DAYS until Fallosophy releases 😱 So I think it’s finally time to admit something: We made this game because we HATE GAMES. Or, more accurately, we hate what games have become. 1/7

Fallosophy was born out of frustration with how much modern game design has become dominated by extrinsic motivation. XP. Unlocks. Battle passes. Daily challenges. Achievements. Progress bars. Always another reward dangling in front of you. 2/7

This isn't just in AAA, we see versions of it taking over indies too, especially with the growth of incremental. Somewhere along the way, it started to feel like games had forgotten something very simple: Playing the game itself was supposed to be the reward. 3/7

And that left us with a design question: If we take away all the reasons games normally give you to keep playing… Is the game itself enough? 5/7

That became the philosophy behind Fallosophy. You should want to keep playing because the flippers feel good. Because you hit a shot perfectly. Because you almost pulled something off and immediately want another try. 6/7
