But with Dive (Square on PS4 and Ctrl on PC), you get another way to move through the air. Learn the difference between Jump and DiveĪt first, as I aimlessly jumped around I didn't even realize diving was an option. Wait for that gate to lower, or else you're going to put yourself in a loop of the rising gates that lose the race. And if you do hit a gate that doesn't lower when you want to, don't run to another gate immediately. If you treat subsequent gate rows as if they'll run by the same pattern, you're going to find yourself stuck.

Throughout the level, you're trying to run through a series of lowering and closing gates, and each has its own cadence for opening and closing. Gate Crash is one of the levels where I have the hardest time progressing, because (for some reason) I have a hard time picking the right gates. (Image credit: Devolver Digital) Pattern recognition is key Watching and learning is also the most important thing you can do when you fall into a level you're unfamiliar with - this also applies to Tip Toe's series of false floors. Everyone else will do the work for you, hitting fake and real doors, so you can then do your best to scramble through the functional exits. So, rather than risk your luck to random chance each and every time, stay close to the pack - but not at the front. The most tricky of them all is Door Dash, a race filled with doors that you need to barrel through, even though some won't actually break when you run through them. Plenty of Fall Guys levels take advantage of what you don't know yet, whether that's because you're a new player or because of its hidden tricks up its sleeves.
This is also true for Fall Ball (aka Rocket League with Fall Guys), where you don't want to leave an open goal at the end of the game. If you've got less people on defense, and a big lead, you could find yourself on the wrong end of a raid. Instead, take this moment to stop the other teams from poaching eggs and balls from your corner of the field of play. If your team is doing well, with a lead that feels strong, know that you're still not out of the woods yet. Yes, games like Egg Scramble and Hoarders may push you to grab all the eggs or keep trying to steal the giant flying balls from other teams' sectors, but that may change near the end of the game.

Even if your short term memory is shot, this could prove helpful for seeing where other players are running, as one of my Fall Guys comrades can't remember the squares at all, and instead follows the pack (successfully).
In this Survival Mode challenge, you have to keep your eyes on all the platforms around you, as each is tied to a specific fruit (but only show that fruit for small moments), and if you rotate your camera to see more of the platforms, you can have a better idea of where to go. Not only is this important for race levels, so you can see how other people are failing and falling, but it's essential in Perfect Match. That right joystick (on consoles) and mouse (on PC) is your best friend in Fall Guys, as you're going to need to stay aware of what's going on around your Fall Guy. Similarly, in Hit Parade (swinging wrecking balls) and The Whirlygig (giant fans), you've got to figure out when to run through treacherous territory, and when to wait for the giant object overhead to pass. By going backwards, and moving to the other lane, you (and some other Fall Guys and Fall Gals) can rebalance the scales and clear a path. In the See Saw level, for example, you're going to need to backtrack a bit, as lanes can get overcrowded with Fall Guys, and that giant mass of players can make one side of a see-saw impossible to run across, no matter how fast you think you're going. But that's going to get you into a lot of trouble.
