Matthew Berman plays a Fall Guys-style game that the video attributes to Gemini 4 Argon. He says he iterated a couple of times, praises the level and character collisions, and finds the course unexpectedly difficult before reaching the next stage and apparently finishing first. The clip does not show the prompts, code, full development process or a controlled comparison with other models.

Playing the generated obstacle course

Berman introduces the Fall Guys-style game and says he iterated on it a couple of times. He likes its look, jumping and character collisions.

DIAPOSITIVE 1 / 3Players begin the obstacle courseBean-shaped characters start a colorful course with moving obstacles.

I wanted to try a Fall Guys-style clone because, in my experience, that kind of game seems close to the limit of what frontier models can create. The video identifies this version with Google’s Gemini 4 Argon. This is a brief example rather than a controlled comparison or proof of a general limit.

Let’s play. The level looks good, and I think I iterated on it only a couple of times. The character jumps, the little bean-shaped characters collide, and the levels are actually fun. The clip does not show the prompts, code or all of the work behind the game.

I am clearly not very good at it, and the course turns out to be harder than I thought. As I go up the slide, obstacles bounce me around; this is actually the hardest version I have created so far.

A difficult route to the finish

Obstacles make the level harder than he expected. He reaches another stage and thinks he finishes first.

DIAPOSITIVE 2 / 3Navigating the obstaclesThe player encounters the bouncing obstacles that Berman says make the level challenging.

DIAPOSITIVE 3 / 3Another stage of the courseThe playthrough moves on to rotating platforms on the way toward the finish.

I make it to the next stage and try to reach the finish line. It looks as though I got first place. The playthrough shows a working moment in this particular build, not whether every feature or game mode works reliably.
