Fall Guys

In the standard "Classic" and "Knockout" modes, up to 32 players compete in matches with battle royale style gameplay. Players, represented as jellybean-like figures, move around in a three-dimensional playing field, with abilities such as jumping, diving, dive sliding, piggybacking, and grabbing. Players can also use power-ups in select mini games which give players unique abilities for either a limited amount of time or until the round ends depending on the rounds settings. The aim is to qualify for subsequent rounds by successfully completing each of the randomly selected mini-games, many of which have randomly selected variations. There are currently seven different types of levels in Fall Guys; Course, Survival, Points, Teams, Logic, Invisibeans, and Finals

The winner of the Final level is usually the winner of the match, except in Squads based modes where the winning player scores the victory for their whole team. {{Cite web |last=Wilson |first=Iain |date=7 August 2020 |title=Fall Guys tips: How to beat all 24 rounds and win the Episode crown |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/au/fall-guys-tips/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211202105500/https://www.gamesradar.com/au/fall-guys-tips/ |archive-date=2 December 2021 |access-date=14 August 2020 |website=Games Radar+}}{{Cite web |title=The Fall Guy Survival Update |url=https://www.fallguys.com/en-US/news/fall-guys-survival-update |access-date=2024-02-27 |website=www.fallguys.com |language=en-US}}

In the Explore gamemode, up to 10 players can play back to back creative levels for as long as they want. Players are able to skip levels and go to the next once qualified, and Knockout, a Game that features 40 levels and refreshes constantly with some Classic levels and new Creative levels. Players earned 5 crown shards per level from completing each level

Using an in-game currency, "Kudos", players can purchase single cosmetics, nameplates, nametags, patterns, faceplates, and colours, for their character to show off in-game. Players obtain Kudos by playing the game or progressing in the Fame Pass. Players receive crowns by winning a match. Crowns were a premium currency until 21 June 2022, whereas they now count towards Crown Rank.{{Cite web |date=2022-05-16 |title=Fall Guys coming to PS5, going free for all, getting new modes, and more |url=https://blog.playstation.com/2022/05/16/fall-guys-coming-to-ps5-going-free-for-all-getting-new-modes-and-more/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220619055307/https://blog.playstation.com/2022/05/16/fall-guys-coming-to-ps5-going-free-for-all-getting-new-modes-and-more/ |archive-date=19 June 2022 |access-date=2022-05-16 |website=PlayStation.Blog |language=en-US}}

Season 4: Creative Construction added a level editor called Fall Guys Creative. It allows users to create rounds with various obstacles and objects. Players can choose between making Course, Survival, or Points based rounds. There is a budget that limits how many objects a round can contain. Players can submit their rounds and can share their rounds to others via share codes. Creative-made rounds can appear in the Discovery tab, the Explore gamemode, or Mediatonic can pick specific rounds to be featured in the Creator Spotlight.{{Cite web |title=Fall Guys Season 4 Creative Construction Launches on May 10 |url=https://www.fallguys.com/en-US/news/make-your-own-mayhem-in-fall-guys-season-4-creative-construction |access-date=2023-05-02 |website=www.fallguys.com |language=en-US}}

New content is added to the game through updates. These can bring new tools, modes, bug fixes and Fame Passees. This has been present since 16 August 2023, when Mediatonic announced they're moving away from Seasons to be able to instead deliver more frequent updates.

Season 5 added limited time events, and Duos/Trios shows. Later in the season, the main lobby was redesigned.

Season 6 added cross-progression, cross-play, and a game mode called Sweet Thieves, where one team is invisible (only being visible when moving fast) while the other team is not. The invisible team (Thieves) needs to bring sweets to the goals while the other team (Guardians) tries to prevent them by using the grabbing mechanic to capture the Thieves and put them in a jail. A button can be pressed every 30 seconds to remove the jail barrier.{{Cite web |last=Gendron |first=Will |title=New 'Fall Guys' mode is all about stealing candy |url=https://www.inputmag.com/gaming/fall-guys-new-game-mode-sweet-thieves |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220313065919/https://www.inputmag.com/gaming/fall-guys-new-game-mode-sweet-thieves |archive-date=13 March 2022 |access-date=2022-03-24 |website=Input |date=9 March 2022 |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=2022-03-09 |title='Fall Guys' launches limited-time Sweet Thieves challenge |url=https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/fall-guys-launches-limited-time-sweet-thieves-challenge-3179118 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220615043638/https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/fall-guys-launches-limited-time-sweet-thieves-challenge-3179118 |archive-date=15 June 2022 |access-date=2022-03-24 |website=NME |language=en-GB}}

The Fame Pass is an optional purchase that gives players extra cosmetics and in-game currencies. Before Season 1: Free for All the Fame Pass (known as the Fame Path) only had 40 tiers and was completely free. Season 4 increased the path to 50.

Starting in Season 1: Free for All, the renamed 'Season Pass' was extended to 100 tiers with half of them being free and the other half being paid. Season 2: Satellite Scramble added 100 extra tiers to the season pass, offering mostly crown shards and 3 bonus costumes.

Season 4: Creative Construction changed the model offering multiple 'Fame Passes' over the course of the season.{{Cite web |title=Fall Guys Season 4 Creative Construction Launches on May 10 |url=https://www.fallguys.com/en-US/news/make-your-own-mayhem-in-fall-guys-season-4-creative-construction |access-date=2023-05-06 |website=www.fallguys.com |language=en-US}} These passes would have 40 main tiers with the rest of the 100 tier pass consisting of bonus costumes and crown shards.

After the discontinuation of seasons, fame passes would stay the same however it was extended from 100 to 160 tiers. The March '24 Fame Pass was extended to 300 tiers but only 70 consisted of proper rewards. The May' 24 Fame Pass onward was decreased to just 70 tiers.

Fall Guys had seasons up until 16 August 2023, which were major updates to the game that each had a unique theme and added new content (rounds, costumes, obstacles, mechanics and music). Seasons lasted for several months, and introduced a new Season Pass (originally called a Fame Path in Legacy Seasons) each time. They could be leveled up by playing shows and completing challenges to obtain a variety of customization options and currencies such as Kudos and Crowns. On 21 June 2022, the seasons reset for the free-for-all release of the game. The season before this date were hence known as Legacy Seasons.

The conception of what became Fall Guys began when Mediatonic was discussing another project in January 2018. Lead designer Joe Walsh said that it reminded him of game shows such as Takeshi's Castle and Total Wipeout. He drew from that inspiration to create a pitch document for what would become Fall Guys. Originally titled Fools' Gauntlet, (also later under development using the name "Stumble Chums"), Walsh's pitch featured 100 players competing in a battle royale composed of physical challenges.{{Cite web |last=Marshall |first=Cass |date=20 August 2020 |title=Fall Guys' pitch doc reveals alternate takes on the iconic beans |url=https://www.polygon.com/2020/8/20/21378069/fall-guys-pitch-document-twitter-thread-jeff-tanton |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210507181504/https://www.polygon.com/2020/8/20/21378069/fall-guys-pitch-document-twitter-thread-jeff-tanton |archive-date=7 May 2021 |access-date=21 August 2020 |website=Polygon |language=en}} Creative director Jeff Tanton, while initially skeptical that creating another battle royale game would be successful, was quickly convinced of the game's potential, and forwarded Walsh's pitch to Mediatonic's founders.

Tanton and Walsh worked on a pitch deck, and principal concept artist Dan Hoang created images featuring colourful, bean-shaped characters racing on an obstacle course in the sky. Tanton explained that Hoang's character designs helped shift the focus of the game away from the obstacle course itself, to the characters.{{Cite web |last=Walker |first=Ian |date=20 August 2020 |title=Fall Guys Was Almost Called Stumble Chums |url=https://kotaku.com/fall-guys-was-almost-called-stumble-chums-1844794964 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210715205611/https://kotaku.com/fall-guys-was-almost-called-stumble-chums-1844794964 |archive-date=15 July 2021 |access-date=21 August 2020 |website=Kotaku |language=en-us}} With the pitch deck completed, Tanton pitched the game to 10 different publishers at the 2018 Game Developers Conference. Six months after Devolver Digital agreed to publish the game, development began.

Fall Guys began its initial prototyping process with a small team, growing to 30 people during development. Initial progress on individual minigames was slow which caused the team to worry that there would not be enough content for launch. A turning point came when the team made a group of pillars that "Took the opinions of people out of the occasion" and allowed the developers to "kill ideas faster". Such pillars include ensuring a minigame was "50-50 chaos and skill" and that a level had to be "different every time".{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KigEDULV4YM |title=Fall Guys Designer Reveals Future Roadmap – MinnMax Interview |date=12 August 2020 |publisher=MinnMax |access-date=1 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220724124437/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KigEDULV4YM |archive-date=24 July 2022 |url-status=live |via=YouTube}} Inspired by game shows, and differentiating from first-person shooter battle royale games, Mediatonic focused on gameplay variety. By presenting the player with several, randomized rounds of game modes, Mediatonic hoped to recreate the experience of being on a game show. To help keep the "spirit of playground games and game shows", Mediatonic created an internal rule that game modes needed to be explained in three words. Over time, the game underwent numerous other changes.

It's a Knockout, a game show forcing contestants to dress up in oversized costumes, inspired the idea that the characters should "have that element of being completely uniquely, badly designed for the task that we were gonna put them through". The ragdoll physics is deliberate, to avoid "hyper athletic Ninja Warrior characters" and because "falling over is funny". According to Walsh, striking the right balance between funny ragdoll collisions and game performance was critical, because "as soon as you lose the ragdoll-ness of the character, you lose the comedy". The character designs were inspired by the look of vinyl toys.

Mediatonic began working on Season 2 before the game's release with level designer Joseph Juson, noting that it was more of an "expansion" compared to Season 3 where the team tried to bring new ideas.{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGfQAQGr5xE |title=Fall Guys Season 3: The Most Chaotic Obstacles Yet |date=12 December 2020 |publisher=IGN |access-date=1 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221108232103/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGfQAQGr5xE |archive-date=8 November 2022 |url-status=live |via=YouTube}}

Tom Wiggins of Stuff magazine praised the game, calling it "Super Monkey Ball for the Fortnite generation". Mercury News praised the "controlled chaos" gameplay of Fall Guys, stating it to be utilising a combination of the elements from the battle royale game Fortnite and the party game Mario Party in such a way that made it "tailored to the coronavirus age". Ollie Toms from Rock, Paper, Shotgun praised Fall Guys for its creative approach as a battle royale game incorporating family-friendly elements rather than resorting to violent themes. He praised the simplicity of the game and the diversity of content added with each season. He argues that the ragdoll physics can be both exciting and frustrating to play: "What really makes and breaks this game is the imprecision of your actions. It's not something many competitive games can get away with in the way Fall Guys does."{{Cite news |date=15 March 2021 |title=Have You Played… Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout? |work=Rock Paper Shotgun |url=https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/have-you-played-fall-guys-ultimate-knockout |url-status=live |access-date=7 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210507181511/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/have-you-played-fall-guys-ultimate-knockout |archive-date=7 May 2021}}

The weekend before release during a closed beta, Fall Guys briefly became the most-watched game on Twitch as well as the sixth-best-selling Steam game where it was available for pre-order.

Fall Guys has been frequently compared to Among Us, in that both are online games which grew in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Both also have similar characters, commonly called "Beans" by both communities.{{Cite web |last=Craven |first=Joe |date=7 September 2020 |title=Shroud explains why first games of Among Us were "confusing" |url=https://www.dexerto.com/gaming/shroud-explains-why-first-games-of-among-us-were-confusing-1416351 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211108043853/https://www.dexerto.com/gaming/shroud-explains-why-first-games-of-among-us-were-confusing-1416351/ |archive-date=8 November 2021 |access-date=8 September 2020 |website=Dexerto.com}}{{Cite web |last=Grayson |first=Nathan |date=8 September 2020 |title=Among Us' Improbable Rise To The Top Of Twitch |url=https://www.kotaku.com.au/2020/09/among-us-improbable-rise-to-the-top-of-twitch/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200909025025/https://www.kotaku.com.au/2020/09/among-us-improbable-rise-to-the-top-of-twitch/ |archive-date=9 September 2020 |access-date=8 September 2020 |website=Kotaku Australia |language=en-AU}}{{Cite web |last=Grimm |first=Peter |date=7 September 2020 |title=Among Us Hits Impressive Concurrent Player Milestone |url=https://gamerant.com/among-us-concurrent-player-milestone/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200909025047/https://gamerant.com/among-us-concurrent-player-milestone/ |archive-date=9 September 2020 |access-date=8 September 2020 |website=Game Rant |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Baird |first=Scott |date=7 September 2020 |title=Fall Guys Is Number One On Steam's Bestselling List For Fifth Week In A Row |url=https://www.thegamer.com/fall-guys-number-one-steam-sales/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200909025047/https://www.thegamer.com/fall-guys-number-one-steam-sales/ |archive-date=9 September 2020 |access-date=8 September 2020 |website=TheGamer |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Matthews |first=Emma |date=25 August 2020 |title=Why Among Us is the best game to watch on Twitch right now |url=https://www.pcgamer.com/why-among-us-is-the-best-game-to-watch-on-twitch-right-now/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200909025025/https://www.pcgamer.com/why-among-us-is-the-best-game-to-watch-on-twitch-right-now/ |archive-date=9 September 2020 |access-date=8 September 2020 |website=PC Gamer |language=en-US}}

This meant that some rounds will be temporarily removed to increase stability across all platforms.{{Cite tweet |number=1592548016162017281 |user=FallGuysGame |title=Beans!

Starting with the Fall Forever update the "vault" was discontinued with rounds being cycled through the Knockout show consistently regardless of its "vaulted" status.

Within 24 hours of release, the game had an active player base of more than 1.5 million players. On 10 August 2020, Devolver Digital announced 2 million copies sold on Steam. During the first day of release, the servers for Fall Guys were unexpectedly overloaded due to popularity.

The game's popularity brought several brand collaborations for custom content.{{Cite web |last=Skrebels |first=Joe |date=11 August 2020 |title=Fall Guys: Other Companies Really Want Their Own Crossover Skins |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/fall-guys-fan-art-brands-kfc-walmart-metal-gear-solid-costumes |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200824005444/https://www.ign.com/articles/fall-guys-fan-art-brands-kfc-walmart-metal-gear-solid-costumes |archive-date=24 August 2020 |access-date=23 August 2020 |website=IGN}} Shortly after release Mediatonic announced a fundraiser by which the brand that donated the most money to the charity SpecialEffect would have their custom skin featured in the game.{{Cite tweet |number=1295416753976160259 |user=FallGuysGame |title=🔥 BATTLE OF THE BRANDS 🔥 The thirst for brands has been unreal... so we're turning it into something positive!
