Our take on Battle Balls
Players may bounce off the free-for-all structure when multiple opponents, platforms, items, and character abilities overlap on screen. Those seeking a focused contest may also hit a wall when the game shifts from arena battles to its broad set of mini-games.
What is Battle Balls?
Battle Balls is a 3D platform fighter and party game for up to 4 players, with local and online multiplayer against friends, AI, or online participants.
Players select balls with different abilities and attacks, then compete in arenas with multiple lives, platforms, items, and free-for-all combat. The available movement and defense actions include turbo, shield, jump, and dash. Beyond standard battles, the game includes more than 20 mini-games and a tournament mode with a chosen number of rounds, where points determine the overall winner. Online play uses player-created or joined lobbies. The game is in Early Access and includes 2 exclusive ball skins during that period.
