The popularity of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is on another level. The game went from a little-known and interesting upcoming indie to the most downloaded PlayStation Plus game of all time. With fame comes fan feedback and input, and many have reached out with ideas for improvements or new skins. One skin concept, in particular, may have gone overboard, however.
As Mediatonic holds Fall Guys skin contests for charity, countless fans continue to share creations of their skin concepts. Some of the ideas have been marvelous to behold, and things that would fit perfectly in Fall Guys. But a recent tweet asking for Danny DeVito to be added to the game is arguably creepy.
Jacob Janerka, the creator of the indie game Paradigm, tweeted out a concept of DeVito in Fall Guys, and it's both hideous and hilarious. The face inside of the body is scary enough, but the hair on each side indicating a balding Fall Guy is simply too much for the eyes.
One of the additional comical things about the Devito bean is that the Fall Guys are six feet tall, and DeVito is over a foot shorter, at four feet ten inches. So the dichotomy is rather silly. Upon learning that the characters in Fall Guys are so tall, some fans were a bit disturbed, but the DeVito concept may be even more horrifying.
The Twitter popularity of Fall Guys is undeniable, as users have tweeted about the game nearly 4 million times. Quite a few of those tweets are fun art pieces or concepts are for the game, like the Danny DeVito idea. Fans have created Teletubbies concepts, Crash Bandicoot, Snake from Metal Gear, Runescape, and even Colonel Sanders. The creativity from the community is hilarious and impressive, even if some of the ideas are more scary than anything. Along with the skin concepts, the community shares tweets about its love of the game, ideas for improvement, funny and embarrassing clips, and playing along with the amazing Twitter account that is @FallGuysGame.
The season 2 plans for Fall Guys have been revealed, and the theme is medieval. Now that the overall plan of themed seasons, including new mini-games that fit the theme, is what fans can look forward to moving forward, it's plausible that a Halloween theme, for example, will be in the game's future. Fans can just hope for the Danny DeVito skin to be one of the horrifying Halloween Fall Guys skins.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is available now on PC and PS4.
