It always amazes us how many hours of your life you can waste on a silly game where you try to do some simple task for as long as possible without making a mistake.
Our featured game today is the epitome of this type of game. Falling Down is as simple as...ahem, falling down. All you are required to do is move a ball left and right so that it falls through the slots of series of moving platforms toward the bottom of the screen. as you last longer and longer the platforms keep moving faster and faster until ultimately you make a mistake and your ball is trapped by the top of the screen.
You can select to play the game in either "Pho-Physics" or "Real Physics" mode. You have more control of the ball in the "Pho" mode but you get more lucky breaks in the "Real" mode. This is not the flashiest game in the world with it's simple two color ball and gray background, but that does not detract from the game.
We like this game because it is as simple as it can be and it is still is engaging enough to drive us crazy and keep us coming back for more.
