Quick note: This is playable from the web on a mobile device. Touching the sides of the screen will move the ball left and right, and the top/bottom will slow/speed up the descent. A future release will have improved touch controls.

How Null Fall Began

When my son was 8, we decided to learn Unity together. Like many 8-year-olds, his ideas revolved around the things he already knew and loved - his toys. He wanted to play with one of them on the computer, so we started experimenting. I ended up using a simple ball as our player, and just like that, our little game was born.

Like so many projects, life got in the way. The game was never finished. Eventually, it was copied to a flash drive, tossed into a drawer, and forgotten.

Years later, while digging through old code and past projects for inspiration, I stumbled across it again. It wasn't something I could reuse, but it immediately brought back memories of those evenings learning Unity and building this together. I couldn't bring myself to leave it forgotten.

So, I spent some time cleaning it up, adding a few new ideas, and finally giving it a name. 

Just to note, Null Fall isn't perfect - it's still an alpha, after all. After all these years though, I'm happy it exists somewhere instead of just living on an old flash drive.

## AI Note ##
I'm an independent developer with a family and a very limited budget. The current logo and art for Null Fall were created using AI as part of the creative process, then directed, selected, and edited specifically for this project.
The gameplay design, programming, implementation, game mechanics, testing, and final creative direction are entirely our own.
