About the Game

The goal is simple, but you're a narwhal. Narwhals are not known for their agility.

Features

  • Narwhals - Play with up to 15 friends or more.

  • Balls - You want 1,000 balls? You got it. Not sure why you want it, but you got it.

  • Water - I heard you like shaders.

  • Unique controls - One sticks moves. One stick rotates. There's a lot of momentum. It's harder than it looks.

  • Procedural animation - The bodies and Individual fins react to how players (try to) move.

  • Smooth Networking - Narball is the first game to use World Fabric's relativistic synchronization. It warps time to hide latency. Might be the best net-code of any game ever made.
