Just an appreciation post for hardmode. I have been playing since release and I got bored pretty early into Season 2 with the crown stages. After about 150 crowns it's just boring. You get to a point where you literally aren't concerned with any of the modes except for the finales and it's just boring. All the maps are just so trivial.

Hardmode tho? Some of these maps are genuinely challenging, and while there are alternative routes that are made easier (whirlygig is a good example) if you go down the middle on similar maps like dizzying heights it's genuinely challenging.

I really think they need to bump the difficulty this way more. I am having way more fun than I have in weeks, I literally stopped playing one week into Season 2 with like 50+ crowns and level 40 and these hard maps are actually making me want to play again.

I really hope they attempt to do more of this in the future, I really think Fall Guys is at it's best when qualifying has more to do with being able to complete the map, than being able to complete the map faster than your opponents.

Thanks for the feedback :D and agreed - hard mode variations are my fave so loving this too.

However, we also often chat about making sure the game is accessible to many different types of players. A lot of young'uns really love the game and some of the variations are too hard for them, for example. It's all about balance for us - and tweaking that over time - but really happy to read this!
