6 itemsAbout the Game
Ball Punchers is a high-intensity, fast-paced, beat 'em-up party game. The only goal is to be the last man -er ball standing. Change levels mid-match by collecting shards and opening the level portal. This game is currently in development and only supports local multiplayer for now.
This game is best played using a gamepad. There is currently limited keyboard support but key bindings are not yet implemented.
This game requires at least 2 gamepads in order to enjoy the full experience.
Roadmap
Couch Co-op Fun
All together on one screen(2-4 Players) in a unique 3rd person brawler, experience exciting, fast-paced combat.
Bob and Weave
With a number of different combos, you can design your own style of fighting. Mix up light and heavy attacks to string together devastating combos. Counter with a belly bump to create distance and set your opponent up for an attack. Risk leaving yourself open with a crushing slam attack that will knock your opponents out cold, but be aware, missing this attack can lead to severe punishment!
Mutation Cards
When entering a portal, each player is granted a random mutation card that gives the player special abilities (up to 5).
Portal Party!
If all level gems are collected on your fighting stage the portal will open to allow players to teleport to another fighting stage, mid-match. The unlucky players that don’t make it to the portal in time before it closes will miss out on a portal mutation.
Fight in Style
Whether you’re a Viking, a vampire, a distinguished gentleman, or a lovable puppy dog, the choice is up to you on who you want to be when you enter the arena. Ball Punchers come in many different shapes and sizes, so you can choose from a long lineup of whacky characters.
Fighting Stages
Each fighting stage will have a different hazard or opportunity, so you will always be on your toes, changing fighting tactics throughout the matches. You never know where you may fight, it could be a sunny beach with hungry sharks or inside an arcade gumball machine.
