When we were all locked up during the pandemic, Fall Guys became one of the biggest hits among gamers. Along with Among Us, Call of Duty Warzone and a few others, these video games starred in the confinement of millions of people around the world, hence we all knew that in the long run they would try to copy their formula. And that is precisely how Stumble Guys came about.
With Stumble Guys we have a Fall Guys clone. It’s as simple as that. To say otherwise would be lying, since not only is the battle royale premise identical, but even the character models, scenarios and even the art direction are similar to Mediatonic’s title. Now, where does its success lie? That’s what we’re going to talk about.
How to play and download Stumble Guys
Before we get into it, the first thing you should do is download Stumble Guys. The game is available for both Android and iOS platforms. Download and install it on your smartphone.
Once you have done this, the rest is just to open the game and follow the steps that appear on the screen. The first of all has to do with the name. You must choose an available user. When you have done this, it’s time to configure your avatar, the one you will play each game with. At first, you will not have much to choose from, but as you play you will get new customization elements.
Once everything is done, the main screen leaves no room for doubt: there is a big button where it says “Play”. Go there to play your first game, but take a good look at the home screen, because there you have everything you need: the store, the customization menu for your avatar, the general ranking, the free prizes, the tournaments available at that moment, your friends and the group you are in. Click on “Play” before clicking on the other icons to start the game.
Why is it a success?
How is it possible that Stumble Guys has been such a success when it is nothing more than a copy of Fall Guys? There is an answer: because its main market is the smartphone market.
While Stumble Guys is available on PC, its largest number of downloads is on cell phones, where Fall Guys is not, precisely. Thus, any user who wanted to enjoy Fall Guys on smartphones would have no choice but to download a similar one, and that’s where Stumble Guys comes in.
At the moment, the game accumulates more than 100 million downloads on Google’s platform. They took advantage of Fall Guys’ absence to their advantage. A very smart move.
