Ranking Every Fall Guys Stage (So Far)

4. Jump Showdown

The first of what'll assuredly be many more post-launch minigames to come, Jump Showdown might look almost identical to Jump Club at first glance, but it's not just the gold-coloured bollards that Mediatonic has added for this welcome addition to the pool of finale events.

The goal here remains the same: stay on the circular platform and skip over the rotating pillars whenever they threaten to sweep your little jellybean of his feet. Unlike its more forgiving counterpart, however, Showdown's platform isn't the most stable, with segments incrementally falling into the slime below as time goes on. Assuming several opponents stubbornly cling on to the prospect of victory, only one segment will eventually remain, the limited space making for some truly nail-biting final moments.

But besides all of that, Jump Showdown is a promising proof of concept on how Mediatonic can modestly alter existing events to make them feel wholly different from each other. Good Stuff.
