Slingus Flingus

Slingus Flinguses are an obstacle of, first introduced in Season 3.

They were known as Flippers until 2021-01-27, when the Instagram FallGuysGame community named them. The name was then officially announced on Twitter.

Obstacle description
Slingus Flinguses are squared panels, which, when the players get on them, flip them in a certain direction. Sometimes they are needed to complete a level and sometimes they are hazardous obstacles. They appear a coloured squares if nobody is on them.

On levels added in season 1 & 2, Slingus Flinguses are coloured orange-red. In season 3, teal-green. In season 4, dark purple.

Dizzy Heights
Starting from the 2021-02-02 Season 3 mid-season update, some slingus flinguses may appear in the second section of Dizzy Heights. They change direction every time a player jumps on them, though they never flip backwards. There are 2 possible orientations these can be in. These slinguses are red and blue coloured.

Fall Ball
Starting from the 2021-02-02 Season 3 mid-season update, some red slingus flinguses appear in front of the goals in an alternate version of Fall Ball. These can flip you toward either goal making them a coin flip to use.

Freezy Peak
In the game Freezy Peak, there are lots of them, all annoying the players. There are many of them in the first section, before the first fan. These slinguses can fling you in all directions. The second section, which is a platform elevated that brings to other fans, is filled with slingus flinguses. These also fling all directions so more often than not, you will fall when landing on one. Lastly, the uphill spiral section has annoying slingus flinguses paired with punching gloves to push you off the side of the map.



Hoopsie Daisy
Starting from the 2021-02-02 Season 3 mid-season update, some slingus flinguses appear alongside a blizzard fan in an alternate version of Hoopsie Daisy.

Hoverboard Heroes
Starting from the Season 4.5 update, three slingus flinguses may appear on the highest platform in the low-gravity section of Hoverboard Heroes.

Power Trip
As of Season 4.5 Dave, slingus flinguses may replace the gravity zones and their chonky buttons. They may show up on the upper central area as well. Touching one causes the Fall Guy to drop the Battery they are carrying.

Short Circuit
The game Short Circuit has got some of these obstacles during the laps.

Ski Fall
Ski Fall has these obstacles on the slope, which can be useful; one is placed just after the first rings wheel, so the player may end up being sent backwards, possibly scoring another time. This slingus flingus is not always there. In the last section, there are either two of them which flip the players aside making them fall down, or three of them which fling players forward toward the final ring.

Slime Climb
Starting from the 2021-02-02 Season 3 mid-season update, some red slingus flinguses may appear on Slime Climb replacing the sets of moving blocks on sections 1, 3, and 7 which obviously don't move.

Tundra Run
The game Tundra Run has two sections with these obstacles, the last and the second last. The one before the last has 5 slinguses to avoid while a blizzard fan tries to push the players onto them. If a player gets on one, it throws them backwards. For the last 2 slinguses of this section, there is a chance that you can be flung off the map instead. In the last section, they throw the players to the goal. The first part has 5 of them, which throw the players (if the jump is well done), to the last two, which are placed on two small platforms. Going on one of them throws the players to the goal (if they are not hit by the swinging Ringus Dingus or Thicc Bonkus).

Wall Guys
On the 2021-02-02 Season 3 mid-season update launch, Wall Guys had some red slingus flinguses appear on the walls. This variation has been removed due to them not letting players grab the walls. It is not known if this variation will return.
