About VIDEOBALL

About this game

VIDEOBALL is a sport everyone can play!

We researched basketball, football, soccer, first-person shooters, and real-time strategy games. VIDEOBALL is a compact expression of all sports' mechanics.

Use either analog stick or the directional buttons to maneuver. Use any button or trigger to project a triangle. Only triangles can displace balls. Hold your button or trigger to charge a bigger triangle. Bigger triangles push harder. Stun opponents or cancel triangles with other triangles. Push balls into the opposing goal to score points. Score more points in order to win. Win in order to Feel Real Good.

Features:

  • Online: Compete in exhibition or ranked VIDEOBALL in solo or team modes.
  • Customizable: Various arenas, color palettes, music tracks, and backgrounds.
  • Local: Adjust ball count, time limit, and point values to design your own rule set.
  • You are already a VIDEOBALL character: VIDEOBALL is part of Earth; VIDEOBALL is happening right now. If you want a new costume, put a hat on, buddy!

The best local multiplayer game ever?
Verified purchase
This thing is a certified HOOT to play with a few of your friends. Easy enough to get into that even your non-gamer friends can pick up and play, nuanced enough that the hardcore crowd can get themselves worked up into a nice competitive lather. Just be kind and don't hand one of the the players your crappiest controller.

A Perfect Video Game

Fox
Verified purchase
VIDEOBALL is a perfect game on the level of Tetris. People might tweak it or try to copy it, but you can not improve the core of what it is. It was clearly made by people who both love and understand video games.

Deep but light on content.

Surprisingly deep despite its simplicity. Fun with friends, but not much content otherwise.
