Fall from Space has arrived in Blighty and it’s a beaut! Surreal getting my hands on it as a real, physical thing after all those years developing it. The Mitsuhiro Arita art just makes it even more special for me! Available now at www.fallfromspace.co.uk ! #gameboy #indiedev #mitsuhiroarita

Fall from Space repousse les limites de GB Studio et de la Game Boy Color. Un système solaire ouvert à explorer, une réalisation technique impressionnante pour un résultat avec quelques concessions mais très solide. Plus de détails sur GBrewFR www.gbrew.fr/tests/test-f...

I worked hard to make Fall from Space a much longer, more content rich and replayable #GameBoy game than my first game, so reviews like this are awesome to read. www.fallfromspace.co.uk
Great game and great value.
This has more staying power than most gbc games. Well worth the money and right at the top of my favorite gbo game list.

Late to the party, I did one of those 'games that are particularly important to me' things. I'm sure I've forgotten some.

Fall From Space is an absolute blast to play. The game mechanics feel incredibly nostalgic and relevent for a new game that was just released. My only problem with this game is I can't stop playing it.

Why is Fall from Space in green, you might ask? Clearly, it’s because your robot model can only see in four shades of green! However, visit the right shop on the Machine World and you could bag yourself a visual filter upgrade. Out now for the #GameBoy – www.fallfromspace.co.uk

Bonne nouvelle ! J'ai reçu la version complète de Fall from Space en avance, avant l'édition physique ! Merci beaucoup à @joeljgames.bsky.social 🙏 On avait fini la démo la dernière fois... Ça vous dit qu'on se fasse la suite en live très bientôt ? Dites-moi si vous êtes chauds !

If you’re interested in the REAL reason, I’ve written a rather lengthly dev blog dealing with the topic – joelj.itch.io/fall-from-sp... TLDR? As much due to technical constraints as a stylistic choice.
