How to Fall Fast
summary
Prototype goal is to answer focused questions fast: prove the off‑balance physics, a classic level and the playercount. Team builds rough prototypes in 3 months, 2–3 people, uses Unity local co‑op to avoid netcode, keeps minimal polish and documents weekly with GIFs. Pillars: accessible, slapstick moments, average contestants drive design choices. Tests show 100 players feels chaotic, so launch targets 60; mantling and moving platforms waste time and get cut.
