Good game, but beware.
Devs/Publisher pulled a really nasty move and silently removed Linux support.
Not only removing it, but entirely breaking it by walling off Linux users to play with Win/OSX users due to version checks.
Could be fixed if the Linux depot would be deleted, but that is apparently too hard.
Now to play again with other platforms, Linux users have to force Steam to download the Windows version and use Proton.
I'm not against the decision, it's understandable that more platforms are a pain to a small team, but this could have been handled extremely better than it has been.
A fun physics puzzler that is an absolute blast to play with friends.
Unless your friends like to drag you off cliffs. Or "accidentally" knock over your meticulously stacked pile of blocks. Or throw that stick you were using as a bridge into the abyss. Or simply just hug you, making it a struggle to move.
...okay, maybe I did all of these things, but they started it!
+ Lots of fun when playing with a friend
+ Interesting levels / Mechanics
+ You can throw your friend off of cliffs
🟥 Cons
- Too short
- People always 'cheating' in public multiplayer
🍒 Additional personal opinion
There's few games out there that encourages co-op but also rewards you with the satisfaction when you lift your friend up high enough for them not being able to touch the ground and then shove them off into the void.

I have a confession to make: I was not born with a skeleton – not the traditional kind, anyway. Rather, I was born with a hydrostatic skeleton, typically reserved for annelids, or earthworms.
Growing up wasn't easy. My parents treated me like any of my properly skeletized siblings, but when it takes ten years to figure out the nuance of putting a hat on... you get the idea. I heard it all: worm kid, kid worm, wormy kid, kiddy worm – blessedly the bullies weren't a creative bunch.
I was told my whole life by peers and teachers and counselors that I needed to settle, and that I would never accomplish anything with my wacky skeletal structure. But my parents always told me I could be ANYTHING, and I knew that they meant it.
I'm going to the Rio 2016 Olympics this year.
Not as, like, an athlete, just as a fan of the games.
I'm a real estate agent now. Fucking liars.
Human: Fall Flat is the latest addition to the “wacky physics” like your I Am Bread and Surgeon Simulator; a third-person puzzle-type dealio. Idea is pretty simple: you're a human-lookin' clay dude named Bob that has to go through a Portalish obstacle course using only the powers of grim determination and physics. For example, let's say there's a gap between you and your goal, but there's also a board. You can grab the board by manipulating both your arms (using right and left trigger bumpers for the not-sadists playing on mouse and keyboard), clutch it, and lay it across the gap. Easy-peasy!
… until the next obstacle requires you to pole vault, or man a catapult, or finish the last two books in the A Song of Ice and Fire series by 2020, or doing a single pull-up. Then things get a bit more tricky.
And hilarious.
And fun.
If you enjoyed I Am Bread, Surgeon Simulator, and games of that nature, you'll love Human: Fall Flat. It's charming, every puzzle and “level” builds on the last, the leftover clues and narration are genuinely funny – it's good, frustrating fun. There's often times more than one solution to a problem as well which provides some replayability, plus you can customize your little avatar and play with a friend - a couch friend, mind you.
THE WORST KIND OF FRIEND.
That's not to say it's devoid of problems. Some of the checkpoints are unnecessarily cruel (hey Water World! I'm talking about YOU you pile of nonsense), and the physics are sometimes wackier than they should be. Trying to push a boat into the waiting water (hey again Water World!) shouldn't result in said boat shooting into the sky clear across the map, Team Rocket style. Also, it's difficult for the game to register what you're trying to grab when dealing with the smaller objects or a big old bunch of objects. A lot of times I found myself grasping at a stick or pole or rock and Bob just ends up grabbing the very earth itself like a handsy Atlas after one too many drinks.
Tedious nitpicks aside this a fun little game well-worth any physic phan's time. Do it for all the guys and gals out there lacking traditional skeletal structures.
There are dozens of us.
The amount of times I've said "grab my butt" in this game speaks to its quality.
Fun game, but $15 is too much considering this game's short level selection.
Edit: However, with the addition of the Steam Workshop, the game has a much larger player-made level selection. I haven't yet taken a tour of the workshop maps, but I think $15 is a good deal considering what this game has to offer.
This game is clearly made for kids, yet there's no block feature, no swear filter no protections at all. Cannot recommend this game for kids at all. It's simply unsafe online. I've watched my daughter play this game and just be followed from lobby to lobby by someone who clearly isn't a child trying to get her to follow links and add her. There's a mute feature however as soon as you leave the lobby and join another one the mute feature is switched off. Unsafe.
Before I played this... I had a small wee wee, no friends, no girlfriend, depression and absolutely no will to live. None of these things have changed, but the game is pretty good.
