If you were wondering why “HE DID IT!” was trending on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon, it’s because Twitch streamer Tim The Tatman finally won a game of Fall Guys with more than 300,000 viewers watching. If you have no idea what any of that means, allow me to explain.
Fall Guys is a smash hit battle royale style platformer video game, where 60 people compete to be the last adorable little character standing. Imagine you’re controlling a character through the TV Series Wipeout, and you have Fall Guys. It’s a game anyone can play, and it’s hugely addicting to try to earn the elusive crown for winning a round.
Twitch star TimTheTatman started playing Fall Guys last week and endured day after day of failures. Whenever he came close to a victory, he would inevitably be one of the final players eliminated. Within days, TimTheTatman losing in Fall Guys became a Twitch meme.
Fall guys is the hardest game I’ve ever played in my life

Something we desperately needed this year was @timthetatman trying/failing to get his first crown in @FallGuysGame Millions of people bonding and laughing over something so goofy/silly. We will look back and remember this being one good thing that happened in 2020
