You do not need to leave the opponent's net in order to throw balls out of their area.

This means you can stay in there and empty their basket whilst your teammates mop up the loose eggs, and take them back to your home.

This mainly applies to the Gate Crash level, where the final obstacle involves a slime-filled ramp before you cross the finish line.

Jump-Dives can redirect you in mid-air

The jump-dive in Fall Guys is an essential skill to master!

You will not be able to do a 90 degree turn, but you do have significant control over your mid-air physics, providing you dive at the right time.
