About the Game

ChanceBall is a 2D volleyball game where quick reactions, good positioning and smart decisions win matches.

Play 1v1 or 2v2 matches online or locally with friends. Learn different hit types, make plays with your teammates and outplay your opponents in fast and exciting rallies.

The main twist: each player can touch the ball up to 4 times, but each team only gets 4 touches in total. With walls and a ceiling keeping the ball in play, every touch could set up an attack, save a rally or cost you the point.

Two Ways to Play

ChanceBall Rules
