History
We grew up with the Commodore 64, and FAIL GAMES is our modern take on the games we loved back then — Summer Games, Winter Games, California Games — but boiled down so radically that anyone can play with a single button: hold and release.
We tried to stay as close as we could to the C64's actual graphics capabilities: there's no sprite rotation, everything is pre-rendered, and we kept as true to the Commodore 64 colour palette as we could, taking artistic liberties only where we had to.
The characters use an animation system we built ourselves — every body part is an individual sprite at its own rotation angle, glued together at connection points and rotated in real time. It isn't a true ragdoll, just a lot of little sprites held together — but it lets us pose, animate, and even dress the character with clothing and props.
