This submission was BLAMMED by our users.
Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.
01/13/09 – 07/29/09
A SNES-styled physics platformer where the objective is to avoid getting crushed by falling blocks while keeping away from the rising lava.
This is a remake of Block Fall from scratch. But this game has realistic physics to handle the motion of the blocks, so it's different experience and much more advanced.
--- Concept ---
Jump and move to avoid the blocks as the fall from above and stay away from the lava. You will lose if you get squeezed between two blocks or if the lava reaches you. As you progress, the game will become much more difficult.
Try to survive as long as possible.
--- Controls ---
X - run
Z - jump
Left/right - move
Up/down - look
Backspace - run mode
Shift - suicide (in case you get stuck in a gap and don't feel like waiting for the lava)

Props to AshtonNextGen again for the Mario concept and Devastus for this badass remix of the SMW Castle theme. :)
Enjoy. <3
10/10 5/5 this was, is mad
keep up tha great work, next time: dodge yoshi's egg lol
but you've got to make a goal and/or achievement or people will get too bored to care. ^^
3/5 6/10
good, short and addicting
cool game
One of the best Adair Tishler games yet!
hey nice time waster xD
gived me a short fun time =)
Iv always loved this kinda game, the only thing that annoys me about this one is that the giant boulders bounce around as if beach balls, its not a huge flaw but its something
The physics engine actually gives the game a nice touch, otherwise it would have been a plain copy of "Avalanche". The presentation could be with a bit more effects and force, though.
I love it. I spent a good ten minute playing.
Although I couldn't help but notice, if you jump into a block head on, it counts as death, regardless of proximity to the ground. ^^
Just sayin'
Apart from that, I love the game play, maybe different modes, or different block speeds could be the only things to make this game better.
Despite your other flashes this one wasn't so bad. It was actually pretty entertaining.
Oh and on the other review I ment to put "mid-2008" an obvious typo
you could probly expand on this flash if you put some time into it.
You used to just create these weird little spam games to flood the portal with, and cut-n-paste some Adair Tishler bio as a response to peoples' comments. Now you're suddenly making some pretty interesting and entertaining games. Did you stop drinking? Did you get a girlfriend/boyfriend? Something must have changed in your life to make you want to devote more time and care into your work. Just curious what changed. (PS: Nice game...challenging and entertaining at the same time! 5/10)
Damn this is addicting!
Good job, very fun
so, i assume you improved the previous stack-a-lot game to this. Interesting
It was actually kinda fun to dodge and try to climb up, but something is still lacking.
Intensity lacks in the game, so if that's improved, i would definately give it a nine. i see scoring system is actually added (time).
Also try to add more things like adding different shapes of objects. that would certainly very surprising and interesting.
Anyway, good improvement! keep it going!
1. Why did you ruin the SNES look with a vector character?
2. Change the suicide key. Having it right next to z, caused me to accidentally hit it when trying to jump.
3. Otherwise, this is pretty fun.
Remakes > Crap spam flashes.
Try making something original and not pointless. If it sucks, go back to these remakes.
This game would be greatly improved with the ability to destroy stones.
Some things to improve:
- Music when you died was irritating
- Controls were odd - why is 'jump' not the up button and why is shift the suicide button but run is backspace. It would make a lot more sense to have run be an easier jey to press than suicide
- The game outcome is completely dependent on luck of where the stones fell. I played a couple times and got trapped in the stones by the 3rd layer of stones. It seemed there was really no possibility to overcome this with better player skill
I liked it its fun to play when your bored.
but i smell obsesion with adair... err the other name
why is it when i jump on stones i am killed!
fix that and you have a perfect time waster!
pretty addicting game. i really enjoyed playing it. not much you could change to make it better.
oh and turrettyranny, it mentions mario in the description, when you die the music is from mario! its classic.
First, I think the music is great. I loved the realistic physics, that was really cool. I tried balancing the blocks and once I got a stack that went so high I couldn't see the floor even looking down. Unfortunately, I was afraid to jump since there might have been lava, and several blocks fell at once and I couldn't jump around them. I especially love jumping on falling blocks, leaping off them while they're still falling, and leaping to higher falling blocks. I've rarely seen that in video games, and usually it's in a cutscene of someone escaping a collapsing castle or something. Now I actually got to do that myself, and that was fun. Say, is there an end to this thing? 'Cause I've gotten pretty high, and nothing's happening. There's a floor, so is there a ceiling or a place you can get out higher up or something? Um, was the character supposed to be someone we know? Or was it a nameless girl? I don't recognize her. She's cool though. Could you put the suicide key somewhere else though? I once accidentally hit it. Make shift be run mode and backspace be suicide. Other than that, no complaints, this is a really fun and surprisingly addicting game.
I hate this game so much, but i just can't stop playing it arg! soo adicting arg! I actually like it, but i hate being addicted to it!
cool game love the music keep up the good work
It was better than the block fall, but not by much.
The game is ok as well as the idea but I have a suggestion...if it's a physics castle, you should add the ability of pushing the blocks so you can maneuver yourself out of deadly situations...because I get stuck almost every time I play it. if you could push the blocks it would be a lot more fun, and not so repetitive. that's my suggestion....and perhaps have some powerups be dropped from above? something like a shot that can destroy a block, like something that shoots directly above you and therefore saves you from the crush...or something like that.
Hope to see some updates done soon!
Nice music
I've had cases where a block on my left and a block on my right killed me just because I was touching them.
This game has an engine that follows the rules of "If you're touching two blocks at the same time, Instant death for you."
For god's sakes, fix that.
I only got up to 87, so it might be later on... anyway, fun game, and like that guys said- powerups would be cool.
Add a sound effects mute button. Aside from that, it was interesting.
I made it to 102! This was a really fun game! Keep it up!
One of your best games yet and it totally reminds of mario. Nice going
I got to 157, and it was HECTIC. I got hit with a few inescapable drops (Where there are no gaps to jump through), but that's the only fix I'd recommend.
I got to 30.
I lost.
I then stopped playing.
But it was a good game.
The music was hardcore.
And it wasn't a bore.
I personally disliked this game it was tedious and i regret playing it for the 20 mins that i did BUT!!!!!!!!! it's not my opinion or personal taste in games that make a game good or bad . This game is great, good graphics, good gameplay, nice use of sprites from one of the greatest platform games ever im a big fan of RPG's and FPS so if there's no killing involved im not interested.
Good luck with future submission's
Lucifuss
dude this games awesome
this had an awesome choice of music which coursed a feeling of intencity
the concept was fun too, hehe running upwards from lava haha its AWESOME
fairly simple gameplay which is also easy to deal with.
all in all 10/10 and keep makin more games.
Simple, crappy, and overdone. How the hell is this thing's score so damn high?
Needs a faster way to restart but, it is really quite addicting...
i read physics in the title and figured fun was coming. it didn't. toooo simple. not exciting. nothing there for me. do some more with it? ...idk, man.
Very simple and clishe, but its still awesome :)
ya outdid yourself with this one -- I think it's your best work yet!
It was cool and fun for a little while.
Adding some block destroying abilities wouold have been nice.
Little replay value since its always the same thing but its fun :P
lol good job!
nice game kinda reminds me of mario
i liked it, simple enough and a bit of fun. a tiny glitch tho is that if you die whilst jumping it will constantly make that bleep sound even if you restart.
Hi, I enjoyed this cute little game. Congratulations! You won your first award.
So I can't say anything bad about the game, but what bothers me a bit is a problem that concerns all games that use the "y" & "x" key. I live in Europe and on button layout my keyboard has, the "y" & "x" keys are switched... That makes it more difficult to control than it was intented...
I see how you combined past two flashes into one with this one, and it worked great! Felt like the 2nd stage from the last version, with physics added as a new challenge.
76 seconds, yay!
Hated the hell out of the music but its an amazingly challenging and original game!
one hell of a game you've made here i could play it for hours. the music is catchy too ^_^
I just thought the music was a little annoying, but the gameplay was great
Great game all around! Physics worked fine. It was challenging but not obnoxiously so. And, of course, amazing music. Love that song
its very addictive, and fun
but music was annoyin, and is there a reason for the mature ratin?
This game is like a clone of Jumper, an old Linux game I played. You had water rushing upward, like your lava, and you had to quickly jump up platforms to escape drowning. That's where your game falls short: there's no speed. I had to wait quite a while for the blocks to fall, and I think the game would be better if everything simply happened more quickly.
I enjoyed it, one problem though. When you're jumping and get crushed by a brick, the jumping sound effect repeats over and over very fast, and doesn't stop until I close the window. As well, at one point the bricks wouldn't go any higher and i got killed by the lava.
But you just can't get much farther than 60 seconds (+ or - 10 seconds) either the blocks trap you in, and the lava gets you. Or at about 60 seconds, so many blocks are falling that they cover the entire top. At least make it possible.
I reached the "Top" and the blocks kept falling and the lava kept rising. What? It was fun and I like it but that kinda caught me off guard...
i got 139 secunds :D
and i work really hard on that. so... there it is, a high score, beat it xD
you should have worked more insted of just leavin the rest in black... and putting some power ups would be awsome :) like super jump or super speed, or teleport up :D
I liked it, it's hard, I noly got 85 seconds for my highscore..... great game, though
this must be the first submission I've seen by you that wasn't total crap
but i liked it none the less and think it was good
but it could have been a lot better
Overall: 6/10 3/5
The games concept is good , its just missing 2 things - high scores board and better graphic for the character you control , anyways a very good game , all my friends play it when were at the schools computer room .
PS: try beat this score - 166 :P
I really like how you did this game and it is really fun. I also like the mario theme. But why is it Mature rated? Anyway great game.
P.S. There is a glitch where if you hold the jump button down as you are crushed then it keeps playing the jump sound very fast and never stops untill you exit the game.
once you figure out the "Random" falling patern you can last for a long time but only if you dont get boxed in like i did at 201....that pissed me off.
Great game though
it was nice, BUT:
YOUR GAMES NEED A PAUSEBUTTON!
I really want to play this games for hours, but than I get a call or someone skype me or what erver..
then I DIE! so pleeease make pause buttons =D
<3
This game is pretty entertaining. I agree with what someone below me said, that you should put up a leaderboard and better graphics (which isn't all that important). Definitely keep the song though!
this is a nice little game.
oh and i scored 178 go me :D
