Overview

A second pair of eyes on your drop zone

Good Kick Fall maps share a rhythm: a readable launch window, hazard spacing that rewards speed, and a payoff structure that makes risky lines worth taking. We review your layout against twelve heuristics pulled from the game's best-rated levels.

You get an annotated markup of your map, a pacing graph showing where players will stall or coast, and a concrete redesign list ordered by impact. For teams building full custom levels, we offer a follow-up playtest pass with recorded runs.

FAQ about this service

A layout file, a recorded run or even a clear schematic drawing all work. If we cannot parse the format we will tell you before taking payment.
Our heuristics are tuned for physics-based drop games like Kick Fall. Similar fall-and-bounce titles are welcome, but mention the game in your request.
Each item names the zone, the problem, the fix and an effort estimate. Most maps get 8 to 15 actionable items, ordered so the cheapest wins land first.
Yes, competitive balancing is a common request. We bias the review toward fairness and skill expression rather than spectacle.
