Don't Fall

Weekly challenge 4 of Limitless Worlds: The Anitya World Jam. Main jam page

The brief

Build a parkour course people can't stop retrying. Players start at one end, can see the goal, and have to reach it without falling. Every fall should make them think "one more go".

Must have

1. A goal players can see from the start. Up high, far away, or both. They should always know where they're heading.
2. At least 3 sections, each with something new. A new obstacle, a new hazard or a new twist. Never the same jump twice in a row.
3. A difficulty curve. Easy at the start, harder towards the end. The first jump should be one everyone makes.
4. Fair falls. A fall sends players back to the last checkpoint or to the start. You decide how harsh. Every jump should be visible before players make it, with no blind leaps.
5. A finish worth reaching: a win message, and a moment at the top or at the end.

Make it great

• One signature moment: the jump people will talk about, or the obstacle that makes them laugh when they fall.
• Teach, then test, then twist: show a new obstacle somewhere safe, then make it harder, then combine it with something else.
• Make height felt. The higher the course, the bigger every fall feels.

Bonus

Moving platforms, crumbling floors, a timer, a hidden shortcut, collectibles along the way.

Build tips (tested in Anitya)

• Use the third-person camera with arcade movement (World settings). Landings are much harder to judge in first person.
• For platforms that carry players, make them follow a path. A plain "move" rule slides out from under them.
• Add checkpoints to longer courses so a fall doesn't undo everything.

Share your record

Post your best time with your entry and challenge others to beat it.

• Immersive 60%: do players want to try again after falling?
• Creative 20%: how well you use Anitya's features to build your course.
