Berbank Green wrote me to let you all know that his game Fleafall is now freeware (the game was originally being sold for the rather odd price of $23.95, I think). Fleafall is a pretty fun little action game where you play a flea competing against other fleas in a variety of orb-collecting challenges. It supports multiplayer via Internet or LAN.
So apparently Fleafall didn’t do to well in the shareware market. It’s kind of a shame, because the game has potential to be great. I’d say the number one problem with the game is the frustration factor, which sets in quickly as a result of some poor control and level design decisions. The inability to cling to the underside of things doesn’t make sense and is almost as annoying as having actual fleas… in your pubics. Add to this some pretty haphazard level design and you’ve got a pretty good reason not to spend… well let’s just say it’s $25, because it practically is.
Fleafall is a great freeware game, but it wasn’t a game worth paying ~$25 for!
