‘Fall Guys’ level creation tools arrive on May 10th
“Fall Guys Creative launches on May 10th and is part of Season 4 of the viral multiplayer title. The level editor lets you create legitimate multiplayer courses (called Rounds) using a wide variety of iconic items, enemies and obstacles.

This is such a cool idea from Fall Guys and a feature they should’ve added a long time ago! We’re so excited to give the creative mode a shot!

“Apple Arcade adds 20 new games to its lineup
“Apple’s mobile gaming subscription service Apple Arcade is getting a fresh batch of new games. Today, Apple revealed 20 new games coming to the subscription service.
One of the leaders of the pack is TMNT Splintered Fate, a co-op roguelike adventure starring the turtles. The crew is searching for Splinter, and will journey around New York City looking for clues while also picking up randomized power-ups. Triband, the studio behind What the Golf? and What the Bat?, is also here with What the Car? It’s a fittingly quirky take on motor vehicles, the kind that Triband has been especially good at over its other games.”
