Community Insight:
Falling Fred redux is ai slop buts its still good you need to go to the settings and raise up the ketchup we hope the rest of the characters get added like blondie and the crash t dummy is our bro.
WHY AI ON APPLE WHY CHANGE FREDS MODEL LISTEN WE ARE HAPPY YOU BROUGHT BACK FALLING FRED BUT WHY CHANGE EVERYTHING ON APPLE.
We wrote a review on skiing Fred, another great game by dedalord, saying that Ive been playing these games since we were a small child but we LIVE FOR THEM, we love dedalords games so much, and sure the games character graphics are made by AI now, so what? You got a game thats been off the App Store for like 7+ years. Its an incredible game. Dedalord, please make more.
Although its use with ai we dont care if its with ai although Fred is remodeled but the other characters is into its original.
Dedalord, thank you for bringing Falling Fred back but can you bring the original old Falling Fred please.
Thanks the creators of running Fred for bringing this back we are happy.
Its a good one we like the change.
The game is good but the images are AI, but it fine we love this game so much we still have to original super falling Fred on an old phone of android.
We played this game when we were like 7 and we were sooo addicted. Im so glad its basically back.
We like how the classic gameplay of runners gets mixed with ragdoll physics in this game. We just wish there were more skins. We heard other games from this developer have lots of characters available.
We loved the og but this game has potential! We love how theres a gore setting so kids can play with no gore! Good job.
The lasers and mini large saws made our game kicked us not the mini saws dont kick you you know.
So a lot of these other reviews are a bit outdated. Yes, the models still look weird, yes the 2D graphics are made with AI for some reason, and yeah its a little buggy. They have however, brought back more of the original roster of characters, including Fred himself. You can also choose the amount of gore you want which is cool, the original game just had a checkbox lol. Overall, it seems like after an update or two its gotten a little bit better, and at the end of the day, iphone users can play Falling Fred again, which is awesome. PLSSS bring back the old models and 2D graphics tho, Fred aint even screaming.
We like the game but why you change Fred we dont understand why you do that.
Sure the game is back, but we missed the skins and the main character Fred. Which we still dont understand why the main character isnt in the game? Also, why are using so much ai, this was the most unexpected thing to come out in the game. We hope we get more falling Fred updates.
So we have it installed right now on our iPhone 12 pro and we looked like it was gonna run perfectly but once we actually started the game it instantly crashed we tried 3 more times and the Same thing happened plz help bro its so nostalgic to us we need this.
Would be nice if they add more characters.
Just like the og game from way back when, but for some reason regular Fred isn't a selectable/initial character option.
We are really glad to see falling Fred back! But we would really like for the old falling Fred or falling Fred z we know it might be hard for them to do that but it would be really great if it did happen. Also whats up with the AI cover and character covers.
Take out the Ai junk and bring back the old art style please.
Ive Always wanted this game to come back for the ios, we got excited after releasing it and after hours of playing Ive noticed glitches and bugs and the laser doesnt do anything like it used to and why is there only 3 characters and wheres fred? The Charactes images looks like theyre made with AI and they look Childish (Especially Crash T. Dummy) You Should Fix This game And Bring Fred Back and add More items.
What have they done to this nostalgic game they removed some of the characters it runs at 30 fps and added ai art why dedalord fix this or are you hacked our nostalgia is ruined.
So we have so many questions about this game why is there a lot of ai generated stuff on the game the icon and stuff really weird also some texture are broken when hitting 600 (please fix this problem also we still like it).
Ive been playing this game for years and to see that ALL of the original characters but 2 is gone is insane you cant even play as the main character FRED like dude and the fact the blood and gore is gone as well is just flat out sad theres no dismemberment so the laser and saw traps is flat out useless. And please dedalord for the love of god and all thats holy fix the hitboxes for the long saw trap you cant even get past it without getting hit.
We love this game and it makes us think of childhood, but the game uses ai art and theres only 3 characters rn, you cant even play as the main character of the game, otherwise its awesome.
We dont see any of the other characters.
We were excited on hearing that falling Fred was returning after being delisted from the AppStore, but after being finally able to play the game, we almost immediately felt disappointed. Regular Fred himself isnt even in the game, the entire character roster has been stripped down to just zombie Fred, the crash test dummy and its new reskin. Thus preventing any and all form of gore from appearing, which we think is just absurd, the whole thing about the falling fred games was about the humorously absurd violence. Going back to the topic of the character designs, the new portraits just look like they were made with A.we. Art. And going back to the topic of violence, the only reasons we can think is that 1. This is still under development, or two, for censorship purposes, because of course people who arent even effected will get offended by the former leader of a massive terrorist group/mastermind of one of the greatest tragedies in American history getting turned into hamburger helper by a weirdly place saw blade on a residential building. You know who Im talking about dedalord.
Okay, so literally all of the art is ai now. Which is a shame because we loved Dedalords art style, found it very charming and iconic. We havent seen all of the character models in game, but Freds looks weird. The name is also misleading, as this isnt a redux of falling Fred, but super falling Fred. The game is also pretty laggy. Not unplayable, but laggy. However, they kept all of the game mechanics the same, so no complaint about that. Still, there was really no reason to use AI when everything was already drawn, Im still hung up on that. Pains us to see Dedalord going the way they are now because we grew up playing and loving these games.
We dont like the AI Fred looks like he has been in a coma for years and the gameplay is just horrible.
Its still not the best but the gore is back!!!! We liked the damage added to crash t. Dummy. Its not the same as before but it for sure is better now. The other models in the game are still not good. The original models are far better. The models dont even look bothered and their faces dont even change. The UI isnt that bad for us though real artwork would be better. The game has not gone better with the crashing and it actually has gotten a lot worse. When we start up a game it crashes after its finished loading. Now we cant even play cause when we hit something the game closes. It never closed mid game before. Maybe focusing on the more important stuff would turn this game into an actual redux.
ITS FILLED WITH AI, FIX THIS GAME NOW.
We were excited For falling Fred Redux to come out because ITS BEEN FOREVER since we played Falling Fred Or super falling falling Fred and the screenshots originally were the original game so we thought it would be the same game. Then we preordered it and when we got it downloaded Everything changed and the Images werent the same game and we dont even think any of the updates were made by a person and now playing it we are disappointed. There are Many missing things that made falling Fred good like HAVING FRED A PLAYABLE CHARACTER and for some reason blood and gore was removed entirely which defeats the whole purpose of a Fred game Yes the crash test dummy and zombie Fred are good characters but not having Fred? Like come on Dedalord! This is not even a Redux this is a downgrade from the original Super Falling Fred and all the other falling Fred games. If you have a computer just play the Poki version of the game it has more stuff like blood and gore and you can play ACTUALLY PLAY AS FRED. UPDATE: So New update came out and we played it and it still is weird. You can now play as Fred and the blood Is back but the model for Fred is Very Uncanny and it still has ai images At least there is an improvement but its still not as good as the other Fred games.
After a couple updates it has gotten better. Not perfect. Not good just better. This is also the worst fred has looked regardless its still buggy, theyre still using the garbage AI for the textures but Im just glad its been improved upon even if it was by a little.
This is not falling fredthis is flying Jimmy like this is not a redux.
We thought Frida will come back. We hate this ai. The app is coming in June 3026. Falling Fred turbo. We need to brings this games back.
After years of waiting this is what we get, theres no blood or gore and not even the original Fred character :/ the only reason why our review is a 3 is cause we never got the chance to play the game and try it out ourselves. Still disappointing tho.
Falling Fred but without Fred? The funny violence and gore is what made the game enjoyable and entertaining. Would be great to also have a calibration option so that we wouldnt have to hold our devices straight flat too. Was excited for this, felt extremely disappointed after first play-through and probably will be deleting soon.
Ai Art being used,lack of iconic characters,no gore. Very disappointed in the game as someone who missed the falling Fred train and wanted to play the old games again. Only good thing is that the music is still there.
We find this more of a test game than anything, please tell us this is an experimental game and not some ai slopish thingy.
2d Images in this game are made with AI which doesnt make sense because real 2d renders for the characters were made in the 2010s the gameplay is relatively the same but where is fred for a game called falling fred ,fred aint in the game.
Pretty much we know this is Super Falling Fred except it looks more different but it now has less characters from before.
Im really happy that we got falling Fred back but where is the original Fred? We Really love the Fred games and really wanted falling Fred back but this doesnt really feel right without Fred and its really odd not having blood in a Fred game but also some of the art work looks like it generated by a computer. We love these games we just wanna know why Fred is gone.
Why did they make it every single thing out of AI Most of the characters are not even there. Theyre only three that. We dont even like them. They are so boring. Everything is made out of AI and it looks like it Was Made by a Thirteen-year-old. Even we Can Do a Better gay.
