AstroDud.io
Whenever we find ourselves staying at home, we can turn to online gaming to play with other people in a series of ridiculous competitions like in AstroDud.io. This is a take on the Fall Guys style of game where all the players are participating in a physical contest and game show in a bid to be the best. Every single player has all the strengths and weaknesses of the others so the only thing separating the winners from the losers is your own skill. Luck plays a role, but the crown is within reach for those willing to throw themselves into the chaos.
About AstroDud.io
The beauty of games like Fall Guys is in its competitive side's lighthearted and whimsical presentation. This is what this game is trying to emulate in a smaller and more contained way. Whether you yourself are an Astrodud or that's the title you're shooting for is up for debate, but the crux of the matter is that it's a contest. Even the most skilled players can make mistakes and stumble, but that's why this game is an equalizer. Everyone has the same chance to rise to the top or fall to the bottom, but you can still have fun going either way.

The goal is to be the last one standing at the end of a series of mini-games. Each mini-game has its own rules and objectives that will be shown at the start of the game. The whole contest is a free-for-all where you're competing with every other player. You have no attacks or defenses, but you can knock down players by running or jumping into them and vice versa. If you're eliminated at any point during a mini-game, you're out of the contest and you need to enter a new one.
Though each of the mini-games can differ, they revolve around platforming mechanics. This means that you're trying to prevent yourself from falling for as long as possible. This can involve running through obstacle courses, navigating falling platforms, or endurance challenges. When making contact with a moving obstacle, your character will be knocked down and take a few moments to get up. In terms of mini-games like races, you'll have multiple chances to finish if you fall off the course.
Back at the main menu, you can use the coins collected and earned by playing and winning to purchase cosmetics. This can make your competitor stand out with Hats and other accessories. You can also try your chance at the Chests which can reward you with random items in exchange for coins.
Tips and Tricks
Unfortunately, some mini-games require you to spawn in certain locations to have the most success. Even if they don't, you're best off keeping your distance from other players. Getting caught in a crowd has the chance to trip you up or eliminate you completely.
