JUMP, DIVE, AND GRAB

Just about every game type in Fall Guys relies on you not falling to your doom, and you’ve only got three moves to avoid a plummet: jump, dive, and grab.
Master jumping first. Jumping is simple, but it can get you out of a lot of trouble and give you an edge. In games where you need to jump to safety, like See Saw or Gate Crash, take the opportunity to learn how far and how high your normal jump is. These race game types are great for experimenting with the game’s physics. If you fall out of bounds here, you won’t immediately lose. You’ll just reappear at the last checkpoint. Every death can be a learning opportunity.

Use races to master timing and how fast and how far your character can jump. Once you have a better understanding, you’ll move more confidently in game types that require you to move around (and over) hazards.
Several game types have unexpected jumps. Knowing how to time your jumps without losing momentum (or missing a landing) is a huge benefit.
