About Trustfall
Trustfall is a free troll platformer for the browser, in the spirit of Level Devil: every level is a short walk to a door, and every level lies. The floor you are running on vanishes, spikes pop out of clean ground, the door hops away as you reach it, a block drops from the ceiling, gravity flips, the lights go out, and the game shows you a fake Level Complete card while the floor disappears under you. Each trap gets you once; then you know it is there, and the level becomes a memory test with a punchline.
What makes it kinder than it sounds is the respawn. Death is instant and the level resets at once, a faint ghost replays your last attempt so you can see exactly what you did, and a marker stays where you died. An imp hovers near the door and comments on every death. There are 36 levels in six worlds, Welcome Mat, Fun House, Blackout, Topsy, The Flood and Liar's Lair, each adding a new kind of lie: inverted controls, mimic doors, teleporters, darkness, gravity flips, rising lava, falling spikes, bombs that punish standing still, and a last world where the game pretends to pause. Some levels troll you by being honest.
Controls are tight, with coyote time and a jump buffer, so the deaths are the level's fault and not the keyboard's. It works with arrow keys or WASD, touch buttons on a phone, or a gamepad. Fewer deaths earn more stars and points per level, gems add a bonus, and your campaign total goes to the public Top 10 under your TabSpawn player name. It is an original TabSpawn game, drawn on a canvas with synthesised sound, and every one of the 36 levels is checked by a solver that plays through it with the traps live.
How to play
- Move with the arrow keys or A and D, jump with Space, Up or W. On a phone, use the three buttons. Gamepads work too.
- Walk to the door. Expect the floor, the spikes, the door and the on-screen messages to lie.
- When you die, watch the ghost: it replays your last attempt, and a marker stays where it ended.
- Jump early over anything that looks safe, and treat every message that appears mid-level as part of the level.
- Finish with one death or none for three stars. R restarts the level and counts as a death.

Tips
- A short tap on jump is a short hop. Most traps are placed where a full jump lands, so hop.
- If the door is close and nothing has happened yet, something is about to.
- In the dark worlds your death markers stay lit. Three deaths draw you a map.
