There are some really lovely ideas in here! The geysers especially really nail what makes a great Fall Guys obstacle- physical, easy to understand, and a multitude of use cases that allow players to interact with them creatively.

We're talked a bit about the 'tidal wave' concept before in the past- one thing that's tricky is that in a 3rd person mode you run into issues where the tidal wave starts to clip with your camera right before it reaches you, making it really hard to see where you're going at the most critical moment of the level. We think maybe there's something we can do with a more angled 'crest', but you do start to lose some of the visuals that make it so iconic.

Great work though! Always a pleasure to see your mockups.

Would making it more translucent make a difference?

it's tricky- in the Fall universe slime is synonymous with elimination, I'd worry that even translucent pink liquid would still block the camera too much.
Still though, lots of fun ideas to explore! The idea of a Gauntlet that uses rising/falling slime is something we talked through today a little. I think there could be some legs there!
