About the Game

Run Jump Fail puts you in control of the hapless HappyMan, and tasks you with guiding him through a whole load of treacherous obstacle courses. You'll fail a lot along the way, but watching HappyMan collapse and flail when he's just run into a wall, or tripped on a ledge, or been hit by a big red spinning thing is a lot of fun.

Seriously, failing is 90% of the fun. So fail away.

The game is a 3D platformer that's dead simple to pick up and play in short bursts, so if you need a break from grinding away at the latest 50 hour epic RPG and fancy a spot of fun filled action, look no further.

Obligatory feature list:

  • Unique physics based 3D platforming action.
  • Ragdolls!
  • 50+ obstacle courses, and more on the way.
  • Minigames.
  • Sandbox playgrounds.
  • HappyMan! (he's just the best)
