Human: Fall Flat, the physics-based puzzle platformer developed by No Brakes Games and published by Curve Digital, has achieved a new milestone by selling over 55 million units since its initial release in July 2016.
This achievement positions it as the third best-selling indie game of all time, following Minecraft and Terraria, and surpassing titles like Stardew Valley.

The game also supports both solo play and online multiplayer with up to 8 players, making it a fun and collaborative experience.
Originally launched with eight levels, Human: Fall Flat has expanded significantly over the years, now boasting 28 diverse maps and plenty of cosmetic options for character customization.
It received very positive reviews on Steam, with 94% of the 210k user reviews being positive. The game regularly has over 5000 players daily showcasing its enduring appeal.
Its widespread availability across multiple platforms—including PC, consoles, mobile devices, and even VR—has contributed to its global success.
The game’s popularity has been further amplified by content creators and streamers, who have showcased its entertaining gameplay to a broad audience. Particularly in early 2020, it surged in popularity, with its player count peaking at over 127k concurrent users.
Additionally, its affordability has made it accessible to a wide range of players. Its price range continuously varied between $19.99 to $5.99. The trend continues as the game is currently available at a 70% discount on Steam, priced at $5.99, until Thursday, February 6.
