Hi! there is some slight skill based matchmaking yes, but not to the extent of competitive games. You should be fine to get some games in!

I...er...what?

It's weird because it's an option on the PC version but not on PS4. Same with the input delay on jump, only on PS4.

We believe that input lag is tied to performance rather than platform. We're looking into it!

As a fellow inverted player this sucks. You telling me there isnt a single inverted player on the dev team to point it out

It's more that we had a bunch of nasty last minute issues crop up with controller issues and we had to make a tough decision to remove control customization from the game. It will be back soon, I promise, but in the last few days of development you have to make really nasty calls like this. I'm really sorry it's affecting your ability to play the game!

There is no way for me to change Y Axis inversion which will make it super difficult, if not nearly impossible to play.

I understand there might be a hotfix, but how soon? I may not be able to play until it is added and that breaks my heart.

I'm really sorry this is an issue! I can't give you an exact time frame but I would hope that within the next few days we can get something out.

Couldn't you solve that by letting us create custom games? Let's say we're a party of 20, just let us create a custom game and we'll run that risk. Loving the game btw! Cheers

During development we were worried about custom games because of how it can split the playerbase. If we don't have enough players in the main queue then the game will suffer. Hopefully the interest over the past few weeks means that shouldn't be so much of a worry going forward!

We've been trying to scale everything up but the number of players is still rocketing upwards!

Rather than struggling to keep up... we're going to switch off matchmaking while we scale up and optimise.

We'll be posting updates in our discord and on twitter:

Thanks everyone!

Congrats and good luck! Any chance we get bigger party sizes in the future? Thanks!

hi! So we have to be careful because a) we don't want parties pub-stomping matchmaking, and b) large parties can grief and do all sorts of things we don't expect (blocking finish lines etc.) It's frustrating but with this type of thing you really have to think of the worst case scenario and work backwards from there.

That said, I could see us upping the party size slightly one day. It's probably not our highest priority feature but it's definitely something we'll be looking into once launch settles down!

Maybe tether the teams together

haha we actually tried this early on and it was a complete nightmare. Bungee cords and networked physics do not work well together... Maybe I'll unearth the gifs some time!

Fall Guys Devs: please please please keep up this communication to the community. This is something special. Staying in touch will keep everyone around.

Also: level editor would be amazing. Look what it has done for Golf With Your Friends.

We'll do our best! Even if we go quiet rest assured we're here lurking and reading feedback.

I agree that a level creator would be the dream!!!

Hi Joe, not sure whether you'll still be answering these, but there have been people in game with different coloured names, could you shed any light on what these mean? TYIA

Hey! yeah I'm still here!
People have figured out that you can have rich text in that part of the game using some clever steam names. Will be fixed soon!

Some may see this as your uphill battle. You already jumped some obstacles but there is more ahead.

That said, I really like the game and actually can wait for updates, stability, content and so on...

This is a great analogy!
Game development is like Slime Climb and we just reached the yellow logs
