About Pratfall
Pratfall is a chaotic co‑op adventure where players descend into procedurally generated caves to rescue a missing dog. Armed with a helmet, pickaxe, drill, magic beans and flares, you must navigate traps, hazards and gravity‑driven chaos while managing fall damage.
The game supports online co‑op for up to 250 players, though performance degrades beyond twelve. Voice proximity chat, full key remapping, and gamepad support let groups coordinate rescues, revive fallen teammates, or unleash explosive mayhem.
01 / THE GUIDE
Online Co‑op
Pratfall lets you join friends in a shared cave system, supporting up to 250 players. The description notes that four players is safe, eight is rough, and twelve is ambitious, with higher counts taxing PCs.
Voice proximity chat is built in, allowing players to hear each other based on distance, which helps coordinate rescues, revive teammates, or set traps together.
- Start with four players to ensure stable performance before expanding the group.
- Use voice proximity chat to quickly locate teammates in danger.

Procedurally Generated Biomes
Each run features three distinct biomes that are generated anew, ensuring that no two cave descents are identical. This randomness affects terrain layout, item placement and hazard locations.
Because the terrain is destructible, players can shape paths with pickaxes, drills, or magic beans, adapting to the ever‑changing environment each session provides.
- Explore each biome early to locate food and flares before darkness sets in.
- Use the pickaxe to create shortcuts when the generated layout feels too convoluted.

Equipment and Tools
Players start with a helmet, pickaxe, and access to items like drills, magic beans, flares and bombs. Food restores health after injuries, while flares illuminate dark sections.
Explosives and magic beans add chaotic options for altering terrain or dealing damage, and ziplines can be used to cross large gaps safely.
- Carry at least one flare to avoid unexpected fall damage in dark areas.
- Experiment with magic beans to discover creative ways to reshape the cave.

Player Interaction
When teammates fall, others can catch them or revive them if they are down. The game also allows players to feed, bomb, or otherwise affect each other, adding a layer of chaotic choice.
These interactions are optional; players may choose to help or ignore fallen allies, influencing the overall success of the rescue mission.
- Prioritize reviving teammates in tight sections to prevent chain falls.
- Use bombs sparingly; they can create shortcuts but also endanger allies.
