At the beginning on August,Fall Guyswas released and took the gaming community by storm. The battle royale game became incredibly popular, taking over social media with memes, and appearing in manyTwitchstreams as well. However,Fall Guysseems to have taken a backseat toAmong Usin September.
WhileAmong Ushas been around for a few years, it was relatively unheard of. When Twitch streamers such asPokimanebegan to play the game, it saw a widespread increase in use, even overloading the servers before the developer increased the number of rooms players can use. However, this increase inAmong Usmemes and players has taken away some of the attention thatFall Guysinitially had after its release.

Some gamers have seen this shift in attention as a competition between the two titles. Despite this, the developers of these games haven’t commented on the Indie game’s recent success compared toFall Guys. To make up for this, fans have displayed how they think the interaction between the two games would go with memes on social media platforms. This particular meme uses the popular format fromAvengers: Endgame, changing up a line fit with a current runningAmong Usjoke.
The Electrical Room in The Skeld map is one of the most feared places in the game and the source of many jokes on social media. The deflection that theAmong Uscharacter demonstrates also gives an example of how theImposter Debateshappen, which can be a meme in and of itself. Memes like this have become very common online and often feature crossovers from games, such asPhoenix Wright: Ace Attorney,Red Dead Redemption 2, andDangan Ronpa.
Despite fan perception thatAmong Usis taking the gaming spotlight fromFall Guys, the Mediatonic game is still doing very well for itself. According to Steam sales for the past week, the battle royale game is still ranked second. Even though the deception-based game is still ranking number one on Steam,Fall Guysis still being played in large numbers and streamed by big names likeNinja.
Both games have generated a massive amount of memes online, showing the large communities these games have created. As time goes on, it doesn’t seem like theFall GuysandAmong Usmemeswill fall off, and fans can look forward to more hilarious and relatable content on social media.
Among Usis available on PC and mobile devices.
