About the Game

Protoball is an arena "shooter" with athletic movement & abilities. If you ever wondered what it's like when you cross Quake and Rocket League this is it. 

Protoball is acombination of an Arena Shooter, Movement Shooter, and Futuristic Sports Game. Players can dash, slide, grind rails, shoot curve shots, and snipe opponents with energy shields or deflect the ball from scoring. 

Protoball is an indie eSport with a growing community. This community organizes games and scrims in the Protoball discord. Play the training modes and alternate game modes to use the same skill sets in a different way. 



Shoot Curve Balls to shape your shots and confuse opponents (and stunt on them).

Golf mode is incredible fun and a change of pace. Use Protoball mechanics but in a unique and clever way. Play along with friends, host your own matches, or play Party mode for a quick 3-hole match. 

Pitball / Lavaball - The floor is lava, so are the walls and ceiling. Use your shield or the ball to BLAST your opponents off platforms and into the walls. More hits = more damage taken, until you're being launched into galactic space. Last person standing wins, best of 5. 

Fight Club (don't talk about it), this is our newest and rawest game mode, but we can tell it's going to be amazing already. Plenty of updates happening, and tons of fun. Host your own server with some friends to test it out. C and Left Click attack in conjunction with WASD and Jump. 



You can host your own servers and play training modes, or play online with friends. Protoball is here and you'll find a dedicated playerbase in our discord.
