This game looks amazing and I can't wait to play it with my friends through PS Plus! My only concern is this: When you play with 3 other friends, inevitably one of your friends is going to lose in the first round. That means they're going to have to stay and watch the other guys play their games for who knows how long (maybe like 15 mins if someone makes it all the way?).

I remember my biggest gripes about Fortnite back in the day was having to spectate your friends if you die early, which really sucked. Is there anything in the works for some sort of system where you could revive a teammate back? What would be cool if every minigame had a bonus challenge you could complete to revive one of your friends back.

Your friend might not go out in the very first round, give them some more credit! ;) haha

If someone *does* go out in the first round, and someone else from your team makes it to the final... that first person's not going to have to wait for more than 10 minutes most likely. Fall Games shows are pretty snappy!

Also, if you make it to a Team Game together - you'll get put onto the same team, so if you win you all go through together! (or if you lose... well.)

Is the mitochondria the power house of the cell?

Unsure, but igneous rocks form when magma or lava cools and solidifies.

How will you keep the game feeling fresh? (Hoping i can get a beta code for this upcoming weekend)

We'll be adding new rounds, costumes and ways to play!

Also, all of our fruit is made of plastic so it will never rot away. *galaxy brain*

Will you ever do crossovers with other games?

You'll spot a few costumes in game which you might recognise! ;)

Do you plan to have a battle pass of sorts sometime after launch whether that be a paid for or free?

Each season has a 'battle pass' of rewards to collect - but this is free! Just play to collect Fame to levelup during that season and you'll unlock the stuff :)

Was there ever any talk of getting Craig Charles onboard for voice over work? Takeshi's Castle style?

It's all we ever talk about tbh - if anyone has his number ask him to give us a call!

I have seen that this game has a battle pass, will we have to pay for it or will it be free?

It's free! :)

What has been the hardest obstacle for you to overcome?

The spinner at the end of Whirligig.

...but seriously; Lockdown has been pretty difficult! It's hard enough making a game let alone during a pandemic. Particularly toward the end of development it's been hard not being able to see each other and be able to discuss things face-to-face. But we all did a great job communicating so managed to keep things on track :)

Nah thank yall for making it! Its so refreshing to see something so bright and colorful, lighthearted and fun.

And dang the one time i was actually looking forward to buying a battle pass lol. I can deff see myself picking up some cosmetic packs though, and now that im thinking bout it my nephew just got his first gaming PC So I can pick up a few steam keys for him and his friends too!

I really can’t wait to see where this game goes, congratz on the release to you and the team at Mediatonic. The 4th can’t come fast enough!

Thank you for the support - we really appreciate it! (There's no way of typing that without it sounding fake but, we really really do!)

Are ya coding son

The coders are coding! The Designers aren't allowed to touch anything anymore before launch else we'll break it so we're dossing about on here instead

Will you be able to party up with friends?

Absolutely - you can buddy up with 3 other friends and join Shows together. If there are team rounds (like Fall Ball or Egg Scramble) you'll (usually) be put onto the same team... but there can only be one winner in the end! Hope you & your friends have fun :)

I'm so excited to play this game! Question, do you unlock outfits and the like from playing the game or do you just start with them all unlocked?

We're excited for everyone to finally get their hands on the game too!

You'll unlock outfits by playing - we've got 100s of items to collect and mix-and-match! There's three ways to unlock them:
- Fame is earned by participating in shows - it's bit like experience points and will earn you items from the current season's reward path as you level up (this is all free, so no paid battle pass!)
- Kudos is also earned by playing and you get bonuses for things like coming first place in a race. You can spend this in the shop for costumes
- Crowns can also be spent in the shop for costumes... but you only get these if you win a show, so those outfits are really exclusive!

What is the Mediatonic favourite stage and why?

I'm sure we all have a different favourite stage but I think mine is Tip Toe - it's really fun to play, but it's so fun to spectate too. Watching people making decisions of where to go next is hilarious when they get it wrong and so satisfying when they succeed!

I love the sound and music in the game. It does sound familiar like it is inspired by Splatoon. Would you say you were inspired by Splatoon and the catchy music and sounds? Or what was your inspiration for it?

Thank you! The music was composed by the ever fantastic Jukio ( https://twitter.com/jukiokallio) and had a whole lot of influences.

He'd know more than me where all the magic came from, but you can listen to our reference playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0lBELCk6zJ2jzvRGZMI1sO?si=16OYvQMiTlWibbY6pPIiOg

It's got a wide range from Japanese pop, to Drum & Bass and Glitch Hop - enjoy!

Just stopping in to say I’m sooo excited for this game, have been since it was announced. And as hype as I am that its going to be free on PS+ I’d actually love to be able to support the devs, will there be other versions of the game up aside from the free PS+ version that I can buy? If not will there be some other way to support the game/Devs like a “battle pass” or something?

Thank you so much - we're blown away by the support! We don't have a paid battle bass (everything in the season reward path is free to earn!) though we will have a few packs of DLC costumes you can buy if you'd like. :)

Will there be another beta test before launch? I've been watching this game since it was announced.

For a real question, we see a lot of MXC/Wipeout/Takeshi's Castle references - how much of an influence, if any, did those have on the idea of the game?

There's another one this weekend! Keep an eye out on our Twitter for access codes, and streamers will be handing them out too! :)

Those shows all had a massive influence across the whole game. We're huge fans and we studied the shows all through development. You can see it in the textures on the environment; the art team did a great job making everything look like it's made from soft plastic, foam and crashmats! And you can see it in the Fall Guys themselves - much like gameshow contestants they are uniquely useless at everything they're asked to do, but they always get back up and keep on trying.

Are logs fruit?

You cannot possibly imagine the scale of the arguments we've had over this and we're otherwise a fairly chill team.

If you imagine it's a cinnamon stick and they're the ingredients in a smoothie or something - it doesn't help but at least it's so confusing you wont think about it anymore.
