About the Game

 This game is difficult and can be very punishing

Bound To Fail is challenging physics-based platformer about climbing to freedom while tied to a chair. It might not take you long, but it probably will. Jump and roll while taking advantage of your incredibly grippy feet to overcome obstacles.

You are bound to lose some progress, and perseverance is key. Don't worry there is no time pressure, you can always take a break and pick up right where you left off, even in multiplayer.

Bring your friends and fail together.
