Board 8 > Fall Guys topic

(+) Yeah! (+)

I think they're up now because I see people playing it on Twitch.

---

I've been playing for the past half hour.

---

I won for my first time ever tonight. I then won the next two times.

Threepeat, all in a row.

---

Hex-a-gone is so brilliant. I'm basically only playing this game for hex-a-gone. Ehhh some of the obstacle courses are pretty fun too.

I love how hard slime climb is--I haven't been past like, the first couple parts, but I'm eager to try it again.

Do it three times in a row for the trophy.

Got my first win after a few tries. It was intense, didn't really mess up climbing the mountain and on my path I was ahead but I see two others running towards the crown from the other side. The first jumps and misses and falls to his death. The second stops but I know I have to jump perfectly to beat him and do!

---

Speaking of the crown mountain, is there something special you have to do to get the crown? I've had that be the final twice for me and both times i was first to the crown but when I jumped to get it I just bounced off the side of it like i hit a wall and then lost. It's the only final game I have yet to win and i'm just not sure what i'm doing wrong.

Just won my second game! Cool.

You have to grab it when you jump.

Tails is still the worst finale game by far

More at 11

ill take tail over fall mountain all day

---

I like Fall Mountain because atleast you actually play it.

Tail you just shouldn't even bother playing until the last 20 seconds if you don't have the tail. And if it's a low number of people, you may as well not play at all because it's just so easy for whoever starts with the tail to win.

---

Tail games should start with neutral tails in the middle.

---

Got 4 crowns tonight. Feelin good'

This is just not true. If people are smart, you'll split up and corner the tail person. Any time that someone gets the tail and starts running away I will NOT chase after him. I'll go around and wait for the others to eventually push him towards me.

---

With a low number of people it's pretty much impossible to corner them though unless they suck. There are too many outs.

Which, sure, it works on bad players that run around the perimeter and such, and I guess it's nice to get easy wins from that, but it's just not any fun.

EDIT: At the very least, it needs to be shorter.

---

change the game where you need to get two tails and you fly away like miles prower when you get the second one and automatically win

---

The one where the slime rises is the hardest game. I got it first round one time and only like 8 people completed it and we immediately went to the final round.

---

I think more games need to be harder. Fruit match, the one where the blocks fly at you... the game should be getting harder to actually eliminate everyone. Games like Slime Climb and Fruit Chute remove people and that's the experience I want. Not walk-back-and-forth to dodge easier walls and everyone makes it.

---

Not getting crowns after wins is starting to get really old.

It says you will get them on next login, but that isn't always the case. Never got one from last night and missed 2 this morning. None of them came back to me.


---

I think Fruit match instead of 3 rounds, should be an eliminate X amount of people to end it

Block party is great and I have seen it eliminate 26 of 29 people after everyone falls on top of each other

---

I think the fruit game would be better as a true memory game. I don't know why it works the way it does where you're shown the symbols each time.

Instead just have it show all the symbols in the beginning for a decent amount of time, then for the rest of the game just cycle through different fruit, so people will have to rely only on their memories until the game ends. Have it constantly speed up as the rounds continue and eventually make it so it becomes extremely difficult to keep up regardless of what you remember forcing you to think quickly and require you to have the reaction time to make it to a correct space at all. Continue until the eliminations arrive, even if it's just by sheer exhaustion.

If they stayed the same and you had time at the start, assuming they only did, like, five or six different fruit, you could just write them down. Although, with the 10 seconds they give you currently, I guess you could do that anyway.

Or take a pic with your phone.

I don't even pay attention during the memory game, I just follow where everyone else is going and it's worked every single time.

I'm not trying to think in my party game!

Well... the version of the game I'm imagining would have the time limit to pick a tile to stand on tick down faster and faster, to the point where you'd only have a second or two to rush to the correct one. I don't think having a pic or a note to look at would help there.

---

One suggestion I've seen is that all of the squares are blank and you can only see the fruit on a square yourself by moving over it.

It would probably still lead to people just grouping up but at least there would be more chaos beforehand.

When it doesn't work out it's hilarious though. Been in a match where like 8 people on a single tile all just dropped.

---

starting to see some cheaters. one guy was finishing whirlygig before 2nd place could get to the final section. his movement speed was very clearly twice as fast at least

---

go my no cheaters on console

---

Still haven't won a match

although I've also noticed it becoming easy to predict who will win. Pretty much if I see someone with the 5 Crown Hotline Miami outfit, it's safe to assume they'll dominate any solo games.

---

I have that full outfit and only now figured out the Hotline Miami reference, which is funny because I love Hotline Miami.

---

Just placed 42/42 in a Door Dash race

holy shit that was stressful

---

oh next cheater skipped that and was just instantly finishing all races.

fall mountain started and before i could get off the first platform it was over

---

ok now that I've played every one multiple times

gold tier
Whirlygig
Door Dash - pure madness
Dizzy Heights
Fruit Chute
Fall Mountain - fast and exciting, feels like the finale should feel

solid tier
See Saw
Hit parade
Hex-A-Gone - really good in theory, but there always seems to be one expert who somehow manages to still be five floors up at the end
Gate Crash
Block Party - doesn't eliminate many but it's a lot more fun than other survivals
Roll Out
Hoopsie Daisy
Rock N Roll - Probably the only two decent team games

boring tier
Slime Climb - honestly just frustrating that it's so much harder than the other; it could be really good if I could actually have a chance to practice at it
Tip Toe - encourages you to not act because the person who finds the correct path is almost always the one that falls and gets sent back to the beginning
Hoarders
Perfect Match

shit tier
Fall Ball - fun in theory but super imbalanced
Royal Fumble - The Tail games just suck. It's a lame concept that gets used in THREE different stages and never feels like it works right. Grabbing seems to always grab anyone BUT the person who has the tail, and even when it does grab them, sometimes it just doesn't seem to take the tail anyway. It's takes forever and it's not particularly fun.
Tail Tag
Team Tail Tag

fuck egg scramble
Egg Scramble

this has to be fake because after playing like a hundred matches I haven't seen it once
Jump Club

---

It took hundreds of tries, but I FINALLY won my first Fall Guys game through a Royal Fumble.

The second the match ended, it immediately went back to the main screen and didn't give me anything.

---

I just tried this and I've been disconnected from every game where I make the third round so far (three times, three disconnects). I wouldn't mind so much but I'm not even getting the rewards for my time. It's frustrating because this seems really fun.

So far I like Slime Climb the most and absolutely hate the soccer one
---

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong at soccer, but it's clearly something

Every time someone else punts the ball, they manage to send it flying, or soaring through the air

When I hit it, whether its just running into it, dashing into it, or jumping into it, it just gets a slight bounce and/or barely moves.

What am I doing wrong?

john you missed the jinx game

I think it has to do at what point of the dive you're in when you hit the ball, and at what angle.

Hitting it lower is going to send it flying, and hitting it at the very beginning of your dive is going to hit it further.

Whereas it seems hitting it high or like mid-dive doesn't do a ton.

And then obviously jumping into it from below just punts it

EDIT: The momentum of the ball itself also matters. The faster it's moving, the more it'll fly if you hit it back.

---

I played Jinx and honestly had no clue what the point of the game was, but my team won, so whatever.

Jinxed players have pink stuff swirling around them. If you're jinxed, you want to grab members of the other team that aren't jinxed in order to jinx them. If you're not jinxed, you want to avoid being grabbed.

Whichever team has all their members jinxed first loses.

I had the tail for the entire game and then I lost it in the last 2 seconds because my guy just decided to fall over.

Well it is called Fall Guys.

They took the best thing from Smash

Tripping

Started next game with the tail again. Lost it once and immediately grabbed it back. Easy victory

Just blew a 3 game win streak on a first round Door Dash

rip me

---

My last 5 games:

Win
Win
Loss
Win
Win

SO CLOSE DAMNIT

The loss was because of a trash team in the egg game so I had a real shot

---

I had a three win streak ruined by a team game already, so that agony is real.

And I love Door Dash but I feel like that is the only "early" game that I still risk getting eliminated on just because of how chaotic it is.
