What Fall Guys is

Fall Guys is an indie game developed by Mediatonic and released in 2020. It was published by Devolver Digital. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Android, iOS and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Fall Guys takes place in a world where bean-shaped contestants are created for an endless televised game show known as the Blunderdome. These “Fall Guys” are spawned without memory and compete in chaotic obstacle courses and survival rounds, all for the purpose of winning Crowns, the ultimate prize. As they are eliminated, contestants are immediately respawned or replaced by identical copies, keeping the competition eternal. The show is broadcast across the universe, and the Fall Guys exist solely to participate in these endless games designed as entertainment, with no escape or purpose outside of the competition itself.
