I genuinely feel that this game would be so much more fun if they gave access to a level editor and a community made level system. Imagine being able to make your own levels and play any of them with friends or you could like select 10 maps from the community levels and then play them all together. The game would never get boring if there was constantly new levels and concepts made by the players themselves, although this is something only to dream about I hope it does happen, I mean hey mario maker is a thing so who knows.

While i don't think the game died, but i believe that it lost alot of popularity. Switch and Xbox didn't come out yet, and the game is highly rumored and leaked (kind of) to be free to play in the next season. So maybe these will make the game grow again

[@vermelho7801]

I donno… maybe

[@DarkestTeddy]

I really hope Epic Games doesn't make the game free as that would just be a very lazy move to just popularize the game again without actually doing much to the game's content. Tbh I think the real reason along with the fact that Among Us happened is because Mediatonic didn't update the game fast enough and didn't fix any notable problems with the game for a long time.

[@freshlyfishedbread5567]

No switch or Xbox release is probably the biggest issue here. It's missing a huge amount of players that won't be able to play it otherwise, and although any game that becomes as popular as it has so fast dies off nearly as quickly too it would've probably had more time before it started to falter and more players afterwards.

[@DarkestTeddy]

@@freshlyfishedbread5567 although it would have helped, I really don't think it would have done anything much as it literally just doesn't change the game much but make it more accessible. Millions of people already heard about the game and as you can get it on PC, it's mostly already accessible by a lot of people. When I think of playing a game, I don't immediately think about playing it on a Switch or something as that's just an additional version of the game that would be nice to have for portability, not as my main way to play. It doesn't change anything about the game and since a lot of people already knew the game, it would just not do anything at all unless the game actually gets updated well enough and in time. Releasing it on Xbox and Switch right now isn't going to do anything either, the game literally had its chance and missed it, what is it going to do by just releasing the game to platforms that are less accessible than something like PC or Ps4 when the game in fact was released free on there as a Ps+ offer? All it's going to do is bring people that have no idea of what had happened in the game and just think it's a good game to play cause its fall guys and it's a popular game and that's a slim amount of people compared to the many who already played the game starting from more than a year ago. They already pretty much screwed up by saying "it's coming to xbox and switch just trust me bro" month after month with no signs of it coming anytime soon.

[@DarkestTeddy]

The game hasn't changed and it's mostly just a grindfest now. People who are mostly saying to play the game are just casuals would will mostly say anything positive about the game when in reality, it's just the same repetitive gameplay with season after season and crossover after crossover. The game really isn't as enjoyable as many people think as in order to get these skins, you have to win multiple times and play for hours. Not trying to shut others down who play it as that's fine but just saying, it already mostly met it's potential and now it's over and only seen as a game that's only sometimes fun every once in a good while. Mediatonic really just ignored most of the bugs and problems with the game and didn't update the game for a crap long time.

@Sam Bridges ask your mom

[@russt2793]

I want to add a little something that honestly doesn't help out with Fall Guys in the long run, and that is Epic purchasing the game itself. I am not one to complain as long as the game is still good, but they made it so that to those who get the game anywhere, such as steam for example, you are required to have an Epic account in order to play the game, it was implemented in the 6th season, so meaning it cut the player base, and made those who didn't have an epic account, (or want one) forced to make an account in order to play Fall Guys. I know it isn't something that made Fall Guys drop faster than a ball falling at the speed of light, but i wanted to point this out because it's something that potentially kills the potential of the game seeing fame again.

[@DannTheMan]

This is something I see almost nobody talking about and I think it played a major part in Fall Guys' original success. Prior to the game's official launch, they contacted streamers big and small and gave them hundreds of codes to give out to viewers for the game's Early Access Playtest (or something like that). This meant that tons of people who would have never considered Fall Guys got a chance to play it for free prior to it's official launch, with the $20 price tag and all. It's a really smart move for online games and I hope to see more of them do it because it makes for banging content

[@theoverseer1775]

The game was bought by epic games, is coming to literally every platform, is going free to play now and people who paid are getting exclusive cosmetics for being there earlier. The players aren’t decreasing even more now because they don’t like the game, it’s because you need an epic account to play now, and many people either don’t have it in their region or refuse to make one. Once epic solves these issues, the game becomes f2p and the “symphony season 1 (epic is resetting the seasons just like they did to rocket league) comes out, I’m pretty sure the game will rise back to popularity, even if it won’t be as big as it used to be.

The thing is there initial marketing strategy was genius but it was also fleeting. Having it start as a creator only game to make intrigue before releasing it to the general public was really neat. But when the game blew up, it was lacking in content and options and had a lot of issues. Of course there’s also the factor of puffball releasing the Henry stickmin collection which very prevalently endorsed among us and soon enough people just saw fall guys as stepping stone towards among us.

[@freshlyfishedbread5567]

Just off the last point alone this falls flat. Playing human fall flat is just fine the only people I've ever seen have problem with controlling are complete idiots or complete noobs. Quirky kinda wonky movement isn't the issue by a long shot especially in this game where it has some of the most refined wonky control compared to any other game that has used the gimmick. Seriously tho if you had issue playing human fall flat just get gud

[@jeremybohac2305]

I miss fallguys. Was interested in it ever since I saw it first announced, knew I wanted to get it when devolver expo showed it off more, loved it at launch. Fell in love with slime climb and hex-a-gone (my first crown win final). Talked a few friends into playing it as well. Overall, I really enjoyed the game and had fun with it. But, friends weren't as in love with the game as me. Also weren't as good, maybe that had something to do with it; one friend only ever won a single crown. The game had it's issues, mostly nitpicks but there were a few huge glaring problems. The name thing wasn't that big a deal, slightly annoying, but not a deal breaker in the slightest. Not all the minigames were equally interesting or fun, and possibly negative bias here but some of those less fun ones seemed to show up more often. Absolutely hated most of the team games, most of all the egg one(and then for some reason one of the handful of events they added in that first season was another egg one, why?). And then there were the cheaters. At first, it didn't happen all that much, but over time I saw more and more, and they clearly weren't trying to be subtle about it. Really made the whole thing feel like a waste of time when they waited until the final to be blatant about it, but worse is seeing all the other players not recognize that a cheater is in the lobby, thus they don't actually stand a chance to win. Had a few team games where someone on my team started flying around so I'd try to throw to make sure the cheater didn't get the win and ruin the lobby for all the others, but the rest of the people on my team, and in general most if not all players that ended up on a team with an obvious cheater, would still try their hardest to win. All of this was probably the biggest reason I lost interest in the game. Then Epic bought the company. Not gonna get into it here, this is long enough as is, but I refuse to use Epic at this point. When they initially got bought out, it killed any interest I had in getting back into the game, because I figured it was only a matter of time before it got the rocket league treatment. Then back in november of last year despite Epic owning the game I got an itch to pick fallguys back up again, but by that time it was too late, Fallguys now requires an epic account link to play through steam. I refuse. Then, for the first time since I got the game, I uninstalled it, cementing the fact I wouldn't be going back.

as a competitive fall guys player and content creator who never stopped playing the game, I feel that the reason this game lost popularity is solely because of lack of content, every season is getting longer and longer, and we have gone 3 and a half months without an update, and in the update, we are only getting ONE map. 3 months for one map. another flaw is the fact that the devs really just don’t care about fixing bugs anymore, there have been horrible tournament/game ruining bugs, like randomly getting eliminated for no reason in survival maps, auto win exploits by jumping into the middle of jump showdown for example, grabs simply not working and people floating on air due to desync on roll off, leading me onto the main reason why this game is simply unplayable. the servers are absolutely horrible, it could take a second for the servers to register movement, leading to getting slingshotted by other players, players phasing through obstacles and multiple players causing a “desync tornado” that flings any player caught in it flying, normally into the slime, and the devs aren’t doing ANYTHING about it.

Fortnite is a 1 in a 100 chance of winning, so is cod warzone and pretty much every battle royale, but people love those. Hackers aren't as common as they used to be, so it looks like you're basing it off of how it was a year ago. I rarely get trolled now, and if I do it's pretty easy to get out of the troll. If you've played the game for a while and and don't just run through everything with no train of thought, you'll realize that (,although some of it luck based,) the majority of maps do have some skill needed. You can expose the cheaters (if you find one in game nowadays) through fall guys discord, but no in-game so I guess I agree with you on that. Also, Fall Guys recently went F2P so it will def rise in player count for a while. Sorry if i seemed a bit mad there lol just my response, and sorry for making and entire damn essay.

[@Adam1602]

Something I always thought contributed in a weird way, when they released that art on the anatomy of a Fall Guy and revealed they're actually like... 2M tall? Suddenly they didn't seem like these cute lil beans running around and I think legit after that a lot of hype died

[@myopinionisirrelevantbut]

i wish i didn’t read this :(

[@badidea6034]

No they're 6ft tall actually lol, but yes i totally had the same feeling ever since i read that😂 but you shouldn't take that so seriously that you stop playing the game just because it was said that the fall guys are 6 feet LOL, that doesn't even have anything to do with the game

[@Usagi393]

I’m waiting on Fall Guys being playable on the Xbox. Once that happens, that’ll be my weekends for awhile

[@Tanner_LaFond]

You'll love it! Plus you'll have so, so much more content when you start than when the game first came out!

[@geblordofchaos2965]

The worst part is that there are many rip offs way worse than fall guys getting more popularity than the current fall guys *I'm looking at you, "stumble guys"*

[@bendiksi]

I would say that there is a lot of hype around fall guys right know, atleast in it’s community Also it turns free and comes to xbox and switch on june 21 soo

[@T2j_966]

Yeah and allot more people will play since its free

[@stormer9952]

The reason it died was the exclusivity and the push backs of the switch/xbox ports

My biggest issue with this game is the fact that there arent enough maps. They get boring really fast when it feels like u get the same maps over and over it doesnt feel like a complete game.

[@eyes839]

I’m happy its back alive

[@Dajumapa]

It ain't dead it's just that the flood of players took of and only the players that were meant to be stayed and fromed a wonderful community.

[@MomSpaghetti]

it's always the developers fault, they don't listen to what the community wants until it's too late ...

[@FilmBucket]

to be fair, the team is really small and probably couldn't catch up with the massive popularity

[@a.ben1137]

@@FilmBucket correct.

[@ds7307]

This game is 100% NOT dead just because fewer people play. We're still having fun. The only issue is that when too many people are on it can still kick you. That sort of disproves everything you said though because a dead game wouldn't have too many players.

[@kirbysuperstardeluxe9889]

Ok, i loved fall guys, to me this is WAS the perfect battle royale, no microtransactions, a surprisingly competitive landscape, really rewarding wins, there was a point past s1 where i would boot up the game every day and grind for hours on end, nothing beat out this game for me, untill... Epic games services, yup, thats what killed the game for me, the fact that i had to use EGSe to play it made me so mad that i just left cold turkey, they could've made the game just better on steam and kept it consistent which is what i loved about it, but now i need stupid passthrough services to play my funny bean game, and sadly; i don't wanna have epic games spying on my pc, so i guess that was the end of an era for me, i left the game with 400 hours and all of the achievements done (one of only 2 of my games which i have 100% on steam) And thats not the worst of it, Fall guys is going to go F2P which to me just means that they are abandoning their old playerbase and pleasing new players, They are leaving the long time fans in the dirt and just trying to make a quick buck off of new people spending a few dollars on a skin, and so i just said: Hell no. and just left before that actually happened.

[@LoveIXTC]

would've loved to play it 2 years ago, sadly it never released on xbox and the hype is over.

[@hiteshsharma6522]

the fall guys will come back to its life in this year it is my promise i can guarantee because of lot of reason

[@a.ben1137]

Don’t forget the Fortine skin and Xbox and switch this summer.

[@knuclear200x]

PS+ got it for free. I don't know why we did, or how that benefitted developers, but that's when i started playing it for hours

[@SamAx.]

imagine if among us wasnt popular at that time its possible fall guys would've been successful

[@a.ben1137]

But after 6 months I finally confirm Among us isn’t a reason make Fall Guys lost many player. The reason is the game problem because developers didn’t know the game will popular so how they can fix it fast like Among us got too.

[@LordRayken]

To anyone and everyone who is "personally offended" because people call Fall Guys dead... It has lost 95% of it's player base since release. That's what dead means. Just because 10,000 people still play it and YOU still find matches, doesn't mean the game is anything comparable to it's peak.

[@FilmBucket]

dead means that absolutely zero people play it anymore. the culling franchise is a good example of a dead franchise because it had only like 8 matches on the launch day before dropping to consistently ~1 concurrent player and shutting down

[@carlamcgrath7971]

A reason for me is the slow implementation of new rounds, I hoped that each season would feel more different from the previous one. The falling scene could also change from time to time. I think Rocket League, Fortnite and some other games don‘t get quality new gameplay content fast enough. (It feels like they are just existing until they maybe die or something new appears) Also adding real crossplay (team-crossplay) to play with friends took a long time for Fall Guys. Additionally the slideshow showing rounds beetween the rounds is pausing the experience and after that you get a white screen which is like they forgot that darkmode exists. I think a black or darker colour would be better there, maybe also a loading symbol.

[@danf1025]

I still play fall guys and they made a lot of improvements. Crossplay and teams helps a lot with the multiplayer aspect. While the game's not dead, there's def a drop in players since you rarely get a full lobby anymore

Fall guys player here, now with over 400+ wins, the game is actually pretty fun! New maps, tons of outfits, it's now easier to get crowns, it's just a very fun game in general. If you have the cash laying around and you're super bored, hop on the game, so worth it

i’ve always viewed Fall Guys as the “Anti-Fortnite”. a more casual game that is for people who don’t like Fortnite.

[@justinmorales9597]

I remember when someone on twitter asked them if the game is coming to other platforms and they responded with "does it look like we're struggling with popularity" and look at them now
