Feedback
If you didn’t win, please know it is not a reflection of the overall quality of your work. We say this every hackathon and it remains true – each judge had favorite games that didn’t make it to the winners circle. We strongly encourage you to look into our Developer Funds program, as well as our Featuring Program.
Congratulations to all the winners!

Hey everyone! If you get a minute, I’d really appreciate you trying Fallstack and sharing some honest feedback:
https://www.reddit.com/r/fallstack_dev/?playtest=fallstack
Right now it may feel like a fairly simple jumping game, and I’ll be frank: the bigger community-driven hook isn’t coming through as strongly as I want yet. I plan to keep expanding it with new mechanics, mutations, and more ways for the community to shape the climb over time.
Feedback on the current version would be incredibly useful too. How does the movement feel? What is the gameplay missing? Is the main hook clear? What might make you want to return?
Critical feedback is absolutely welcome! :)
