Fall Guys has been the success story of Double A Battle Royale fame, but it hasn't happened without players wanting to see some aspects of the game changed or improved.
The latest “Spicy Hot Fix” game patch coming in about a week proves that the Fall Guys team is both dealing with abusive play and listening to their player base. The developers have made it clear that they are constantly working to make this game the best possible experience for casuals and testers alike.
Here's a look at the upcoming changes.
Equality of team play
Have you ever been ranked in a 6v5 Fall Ball game? No more. The latest patch will ensure that team games will only happen when the teams can be evenly split, whether in two, three or four groups depending on the game. That's the tie. Although the morale of the yellow team is still low, there is no solution to this problem.
Round game improvements
Two games are seeing changes: first and foremost, Jump Showdown. Being the newer game mode, there were bound to be some issues. The camera in the level has automatically panned, making it impossible to track your guy from the drop, but it will be removed. It will also remove the infamous “wall-grab forever” feat by changing the geometry of the level. The other game with a change is Slime Climb, removing the ability to grab moving obstacles on the course.
Controller options
For a game only available on PC and PlayStation 4, it was very strange that the game could connect to the controller for Xbox and Nintendo controllers, but not for those on the PS4. Soon, all players using PS4 controllers will be able to bind their keys in the same way as keyboard players and other controllers. Jump link support will also be added for players in Japan.
The team comes first
If you watch and search for your party members, you can browse the Fall Guys Forever, maybe not even find your party members until the round ends. Not anymore. If you are in a party, spectator mode will prioritize party members over all other players and allow you to automatically monitor your friends. Or your enemies. We don't judge who you play with.
There are also smaller fixes in the patch, such as crash fixes, improved UI on PS4, some visual fixes for outfits, and improved store dialogue to prevent accidental purchases (thank goodness).
Overall, this patch won't add anything new or major to the game, but it will make the gaming experience smoother and much more enjoyable.
