The Incident is a 2010 platform game developed and published by Australian studio Big Bucket Software. It was released on August 10, 2010 for iOS devices and on January 6, 2011 for OS X (via the Mac App Store). Gameplay Two game modes are available for play in the game: a level-by-level campaign, titled "The Rise and Fall of Frank Solway", and an endless mode, titled "Endless Nightfall". The basic gameplay involves random objects falling from the sky, as the player tries to avoid getting hit. The game is controlled by tilting the device to move left or right and tapping on the touchscreen to jump. As the game progresses, the pile of objects gets taller and less stable. At random intervals, diamonds will fall that grant the player an extra life if collected; each level has a certain number of diamonds and the amount collected is recorded on the stage select screen. Also, balloons arise from below the pile, carrying power-ups, such as coins (ten coins gives the player an extra life), a protective helmet that shields the player from damage for a limited time, an extra health unit (which cannot be replenished once lost), an item that scrolls the screen up or down, or a skull that damages the player (referred to as an "Ancient Curse"). If the player becomes stuck in the middle of the pile, shaking the device may form a bubble that floats the player back to the top. However, this is an unreliable feature. "The Rise and Fall of Frank Solway" contains seven levels, in which the player is required to climb 130 meters for the first five stages and 100 meters for the final two. To aid in this, several checkpoints are present throughout each level. Once a checkpoint is crossed, the player can restart from that position after dying, with one replenished health unit. Death can occur by the player being pushed off-screen by the pile or losing all health units. Items that kill the player are recorded in a museum and shown by name on the death screen (e.g. "Death by Taxi"). Plot Frank Solway, an average Joe, is having an ordinary day. As he tries to hail a cab, he notices that the streets are eerily empty. He then notices something above him — which turns out to be a cab falling from the sky. He dodges it, only to
