This event is a lot of fun! I had never played Fall Guys so I felt completely lost on the first few matches, but by the end of the first day I had managed to get over 10 wins, 3 of which were in a row, so I'd say I've already improved quite a bit.
This is a whole new skillset that I'm looking forward to developing. My jumping puzzle abilities don't translate too well to this sort of content, so it's been an interesting challenge.
The game mode has its problems, such as snapshotting with ridiculous delays and getting hit by random things you can't control (such as the bombs in the final stage), but I suppose such things add some entertainment value in the form of unpredictability.
I'm going to be focusing on this while the event lasts to get the 100 wins title, but don't worry, I prepared some great puzzle speedruns ahead of time to upload weekly as usual!
Shoutout to Snow, Cecile, Riyen, Cugell, and other people who queued with me on day one. I had a blast!

Follow me into this interdimensional journey through time and space where we overcome freezing temperatures and make use of tools never seen in Eorzea before!
UPDATE: In case it wasnt obvious, this was an April Fools joke. Breakdown of the elements that make the joke:
- Rated 1/4 in reference to the 1st day of the the 4th month.
- Puzzle type Educational because it teaches you not to trust stuff on that date.
- The puzzle isnt real; I borrowed items from my personal house to set up something in my FC room.
- The FFXIV section was recorded in 2 parts because I didnt have enough items to make it a single structure, which means the run is spliced very carefully as to not raise any suspicions.
- The puzzle is named after the Quake III map it features, coldrun aka arctic training base.
- Haurchefants painting has a clown nose at the start on purpose.
- The timer briefly switches to shows April Fools in leet speak while teleporting.
- The timer is then set to a date in the early 2000s, when Q3 was relevant (I botched the calculation, it was supposed to be the exact time between both of my recordings, in minutes).
- I edited and combined a couple character models from Q3/Q3TA to make the resulting model as similar to my character as possible, after carefully picking an outfit in FFXIV that resembled the base Q3 model.
- Transition to waking up in my FC rooms bed to show it was all a dream.
I put a lot of effort into making this video, so I hope you enjoyed it ^^
