About the Game

"WELCOME TO IMPOSSIBALL!"


IMPOSSIBALL is a re-imagining of Atari’s "Pong" with three different game modes that can be played in singles (1-2 players) or doubles (1-4 players). The game modes are: IMPOSSIBALL, DODGEBALL and LONEBALL.

IMPOSSIBALL

IMPOSSIBALL is like Pong but with 500 balls instead of one. There are 10 different Power-Ups to collect (or avoid):


  • Bigger - Increases your ship's size
  • Fast Balls - Increases the speed of all balls
  • Impossiball - Randomises the direction of the balls
  • Inversion - Reverse's your opponent's controls
  • Invisiball - All balls are invisible
  • Magnet - Balls are attracted to your ship
  • Shield - Your goal is protected
  • Slow Down - Reduces your opponent's speed
  • Smaller - Reduces the size of your opponent's ship
  • Stop - Pauses the movement of all balls

(All power-ups are temporary except for Fast Balls.)

DODGEBALL

DODGEBALL requires you to avoid getting hit by the orange balls as they get bigger and faster. The affect of some Power-Ups is slightly different in this game-mode, for example: BIGGER makes your opponent's ship bigger while SMALLER makes your ship smaller!

LONEBALL

LONEBALL is our love-letter to Atari's original game featuring one, lone ball drenched in a neon glow and all set to a chip-tune soundtrack!


All game-modes can be played in single player, or with 2 to 4 players as co-op or versus - using any combination of mouse, keyboard and up to four controllers.
