Description
You've heard of endless runners? Now get ready for endless falling! In Chucan Fall, you control a character who falls from platform to platform, collecting coins and avoiding spikes along the way.
On November 27th I tested positive for covid 19. For the first few days I was convinced I was going to die. When I realized that I wasn't dying, I decided I needed to have something to occupy my time off work. Thus, my covid quarantine project Chucan Fall was born. This was my first experience using Construct 3, and I really like it. Great for someone who loves making games but sucks bilge water when it comes to programming (that's me).
Audio seems to be slightly delayed on some devices. Not sure what's up with that, and not convinced it's a big enough problem to pursue fixing.
How to Play
You must land on every platform, or you lose. You also lose if you touch the spike balls. Your fall speed gradually increases over time. Collect coins as you fall to spend in the store between every fall. There are 4 powerups you can buy from the store: Coin Vacuums, PortaPlatforms, Obsta-Gones, and Parachutes.
Coin Vacuums pull coins toward you. It isn't a guarantee that you'll catch every coin though! Lasts for 5000 distance.
PortaPlatforms drop a platform a short distance below you. Good way to save yourself in a pinch.
Obsta-Gones remove all obstacles from the screen. These will occasionally be necessary to proceed, so stock up!
Parachutes reset your fall speed. A must-have for getting big distances!

Tips
- You don't actually have to land on the platforms, just touching the sides will do. I will say that this is hard to do on purpose though!
- I like to use a parachute every 20,000 distance or so
- Sometimes a platform will be completely blocked by spike balls. For this reason, Obsta-Gones are a necessity for long distance falls
- There is a best time to use a Coin Vacuum...
