A game developer attempts to recreate the popular game "Fall Guys" in just one week. The developer, who claims to have spent all their money on milk, decides to make their own version, dubbed "Beam Guys." They start by creating a bean-shaped character, adding bones, and implementing physics. They then work on adding platforms, sound effects, and music, including a remix of the "Fall Guys" theme song. After completing the game, the developer tries to trick people into thinking it's the real "Fall Guys" by creating a fake trailer and posting it on social media. They also create a Facebook ad, which reaches 20,000 impressions in two days, with some people believing it's real and others seeing through the ruse. The developer concludes that copying a game is easier than making an original one and notes that their version is not available for download out of respect for the "Fall Guys" team.
