Fall Guys became a hit game in the summer of 2020, when we were all starting to come out of a long home confinement. The title originally came out for PlayStation 4 and PC. Its combination of ‘battle royale’ together with that Grand Prix or Takeshi’s Castle style, made the video game run like wildfire on platforms like Twitch. Within weeks, everyone was talking about Fall Guys. However, those at Devolver Digital did not expect such success, and by not receiving content on a very continuous basis, many players left the game. Recently, Fall Guys has been renewed and turned into a free-to-play by Epic Games. The big drawback is that there is no mobile version. What alternatives exist?
Are there plans for Fall Guys to come to mobile?
When Epic Games announced that they were working to make Fall Guys free-to-play , we all quickly thought that the game would come to mobile terminals. And the truth is that, on paper, this title should have reached iOS and Android at some point. On June 21, Fall Guys was back in the spotlight when Epic released it again, now completely free of charge. Fall Guys: Free For All returned to Season 1 again. It inherited, how could it be otherwise, the battle pass that gave Fortnite so much success. And it reached new platforms, highlighting the Nintendo Switch and Microsoft consoles. However, the iOS and Android versions are still missing .
During the first stage of Fall Guys, Mediatonic did announce that they were developing a mobile version. The Bilibili company announced in August 2020 that they were developing a version for iOS and Android. Apparently, those two releases were going to be exclusive to China.
Once the development became part of the Epic team, mobile is once again a mystery. For now, it does not seem that Epic Games has much interest in the mobile phone market – it is possible that the one formed between this company, Apple and Google with Fortnite is partly to blame. Therefore, instead of getting our hopes up with games that will probably never reach our mobile terminals, the best thing to do is to propose the best alternatives to Fall Guys that we can find for our smartphones.
Alternatives to Fall Guys for mobile
As usually happens in these cases, there are many developers who have taken advantage of the fact that there are no mobile versions of Fall Guys and have gone to work to make their versions. If you like Fall Guys and want an alternative for your mobile, here are some of the best games that you will find for iOS and Android :
Oopstacles
Its mechanics are really similar to Fall Guys . This title developed by Crystal Pug invites us to take a character through a series of scenarios in which the goal is not to fall. The characters seem to be inspired by LEGO, and they have quite a bit of room for customization .
Regarding the scenarios, Oopstacles has a lot of variety of environments . They are simple, but they have a lot of geometric shapes and moving artifacts that will do everything possible to prevent us from reaching the goal. The graphics of this game are not as elaborate as those of the original game, since they are a bit more cartoonish, but in general, we can say that they resemble those of the Mediatonic title.
On the other hand, Oopstacles is a game that can be enjoyed even if you don’t have an Internet connection. It has the following modes:
- Challenge Mode : It is the story mode of the game. It has more than a thousand different levels in which we will play as in a 3D platform game of a lifetime. This mode guarantees hours of fun in case you don’t have a network connection, or simply, if you want to have a more relaxed game.
- Multiplayer mode : its operation is identical to that of Fall Guys . You can enter the games by yourself, or with friends.
- Other modes : As if that were not enough, Oopstacles also has a mode that allows you to control the character by giving voices to the microphone of your mobile. You can also make clips of your games with an editor that is integrated into the game and that allows you to export GIFs to post on social networks.
Regarding compatible mobiles, you can download this game on both iOS phones and Android terminals . The first version of this game dates back to 2017, so its launch is prior to that of Fall Guys.
Fall Dudes
His name does little to hide the fact that he is another plagiarism of Fall Guys . It works exactly the same as the original game, and allows us to compete online in games with a maximum of 39 opponents. Of course, with a little less budget.
Its strong point is customization, because Fall Dudes lets you customize your character with all kinds of outfits, colors, and shapes so that you can play your games with a totally original character.
This game is available on the two main mobile platforms, as there are versions for Android and also for iPhone and iPad.
Bombergrounds: Battle Royale
This title is available on mobile and also on PC. It is not a plagiarism of Fall Guys , but it is inspired by the mechanics of this game and the addition to that of the mythical Bomberman . The result is a very fun game in which we compete in a Battle Royale to stay on a platform avoiding being bombed .
On a graphic level, it is a game that looks quite good. Its multiple game modes and its varied set of maps can give you many hours of fun with your mobile. And it is that, Bombergrounds not only makes it difficult for you with the obstacles and the other players that push, because the explosions will also make you fall into the void, ending your game.
As for customization, this game has a very good variety of characters that can be customized with all kinds of accessories. In addition, they have not limited themselves to copying Fall Guys , as there is plenty to choose from and we can select animals and many other characters to never get bored.
If you are interested in this game, you have it in the Apple App Store and also in Google Play for Android. If you prefer to play it on PC, you have it on Steam as free-to-play.
