Human: Fall Flat gets a holiday update, with unlockable skins!
No Brakes Games, creators of Human: Fall Flat, alongside award-winning publisher Curve Digital, today announces that a new multiplayer lobby will be added to Human: Fall Flat which will allow players to unlock skins in exchange for returning presents. Following the hugely successful launch of Human: Fall Flat’s multiplayer mode, now players will get the holiday experience brought to them through the eyes of Bob and his holiday extravaganza!
“Bob loves going on adventures,” says George Morgan, Product Manager for Curve Digital, “and with the holiday season on our doorstep, we thought the Bob deserved the best holiday ever! Starting today, a new multiplayer lobby will be live which features The Totalizer, a bar that rises when players place presents on the conveyor belt. The more presents, the more skins that will unlock for all players! When it reaches the top, a surprise awaits, and it could be one of the most requested things in Human: Fall Flat history.”
Human: Fall Flat now features 8 player online multiplayer!
Players will be able to create their own lobbies, invite their friends and watch multiple Bobs wobble, stumble and create havoc in the physics based dream worlds of Human: Fall Flat, from today.
Darren Anderson, Development Director at Curve Digital, said “Human: Fall Flat has become a staple game for those looking to wobble around extremely fun worlds and have fun in physics based environments. Players have been requesting multiplayer more and more, and we’re elated to be able to make their dreams become a reality.
We hope you all enjoy!
Multiplayer branch - final few fixes
We're almost ready to fling open the doors and welcome everyone into the multiplayer branch.
Just one more quick fix ahead of that - including making the Credits playable and fixing all Achievements - and I think we are there.
So please enjoy this final update - and we look forward seeing many more Bobs online over the coming weeks.
Regards,

Thursday multiplayer update: Hit the deck for Aztec
The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally come – multiplayer beta testers can now play the entire game online with their friends.
Yep, from the opening to the Aztec, all of Human: Fall Flat is unlocked for online multiplayer. We’re going to leave this build with you guys for a few weeks before we push the mode public, so please do continue to try to play the game in as many unexpected ways as possible.
A couple of other tweaks to tell you about:
[List]
<*>Holding TAB in multiplayer will now show you the player names
<*>Reload checkpoint in the pause menu is enabled for clients, respawning only their characters
<*> Added “lock level” option in the lobby settings to prevent someone accidentally progressing to the next level
We’ve also added some new chat commands:
- / list – displays a list of players in the game
- / mute – N – mutes/unmutes the player with number N
- / kick N – kicks the player (only works if you’re the host)
I do hope you enjoy. Once we’ve ironed out any subsequent issues, we’ll be pushing this to public BETA and then to the full release, so expect more and more Humans to be online over the coming weeks.
Next for us? Well, now we’ve figured out online multiplayer, we’re looking at ways of giving you more content. Oh, and a Festive treat, too.
Until next time,
Tomas Sakalauskas

Thursday multiplayer update: You’ve got the power (plant)
A couple of wider updates debut in this build – we’ve enabled the in-game shell, which can be accessed by hitting ` (top left key). Feel free to tinker with the commands, which can be viewed by typing "?" [enter]. If you’re struggling with specific context for an individual command, type "?" followed by the command name to see its usage.
We’ve also bumped fog control from the comma and period keys into the free-roam camera.
As ever, have fun with this build – but do expect the occasional issue. We’re aiming for full, public release of online multiplayer towards the end of this month.
Enjoy!

Water load of fun - here's today's new multiplayer update
Thank you so much for being part of our online journey as we head towards a full public release of Human: Fall Flat multiplayer.
So far we’ve seen Bob wobble across land, fly through air in a catapult – and now it’s time to take to the sea, as we unlock the water level for you to try in online multiplayer.
This update also brings with it a couple of fixes – if you’re hosting, you should find things a little less jittery, and we’ve nerfed an issue where certain combinations of players would break the server. We’ve also made it clearer how to start the co-op experience. As ever, thanks for all of your feedback.
We’re enormously grateful for your help and patience as we gradually work towards the full public release. If you’ve not yet opted into the beta, complete instructions are below – please see recent updates for caveats
tl;dr. – We’re unlocking things bit by bit, and there will inevitably be things which are broken).
But enough from me this week. It’s time to dive in.
Yours,
Tomas Sakalauskas

H:FF online multiplayer beta - Siege level unlocked
As mentioned last week, we’re excited to invite you to into this early preview of how the final online multiplayer levels will work – and today we are unlocking the Siege level in addition to those we premiered last week.
In addition to a whole new level to enjoy with your friends, we’ve implemented a couple of new camera features.
You can now adjust the game’s field of view and play with the camera smoothing so that the game displays and moves to your own personal preference.
Access these settings in Options >> Controls and play with them as you please.
For an optimum online multiplayer experience, you should ensure that the best PC – capable of running the game at 60 frames per second or higher – is selected as the game’s host, and that the ping between it and the other players is under 100ms. It is playable with a higher ping, though you will find time-sensitive actions like jumping and climbing more difficult.
Whilst we work towards a full, public release of the multiplayer beta hopefully next month, you should expect there to be some teething problems, so please do bear that in mind if you decide to try this beta.
For those of you who have yet to opt in to the beta, instructions for participating are detailed below.
As ever, we’re excited to see how you guys get on with the new online multiplayer beta. Please do bear in mind you should expected unusual behaviour at this stage – but if you’re happy to mess around with the version as it stands, we can’t wait to hear about your experiences.
Yours,
Tomas Sakalauskas
