We played a short game of Drowning & Falling last week.
It worked fairly well, but not quite as intended. I suspect this may be about evenly due to (1) the idea being funnier to read than play and (2) that the group was not totally invested in the game.
The one notable problem was that challenge creation is a little confusing at first, and people had some trouble with that. It's also not clear whether a single character has to defeat each challenge or if every character except the challenge creator's does (we played the former).
Verdict: better parody of dungeon crawling than Munchkin, but requires more work.

Glad you got a chance to try D&F. It is definitely fun in limited doses!
FYI we play that every character, including that of the challenge creator, has to go through each challenge.

I felt that all characters doing the challenge makes more sense, but by the time we even thought about it we were too much in the swing of things to bother changing.
