But then I gave it to my son to playtest, and he did everything possible not to solve puzzles, but to parkour or walk around, and I watched him laugh. But the puzzles are clever and well placed and you cannot just bypass them. So we have physics interaction, but the world is 3D. The idea was to make something like Portal meets Limbo.

Then when I got the character more or less right, I started building initial puzzles. Initially, I was able to have really fine control on that: I was using sticks on the controller to move each arm independently and D-pads could work, but that would be really messy controls.

I started prototyping physics-based controls, trying to have independent control of each arm. It happened over the course of development. How does an idea like Human Fall Flat come around? In the beginning did you plan to make a goofy physics platformer, or did it just happen over the course of development? So far we have not noticed any drawbacks in terms of sales on other platforms. Also, Microsoft seems to be quite happy with the performance of the game there.

I think it's really great because there are more players. What has your experience with Human Fall Flat being available on a service like Game Pass been like? First of all, thank you so much for making Human Fall Flat easily accessible on Xbox Game Pass.
