VIDEOBALL, developed by Action Button Entertainment, is a sports game for everyone. Videoball is a two-dimensional hybrid of air hockey and soccer on a single screen. Players form two teams and each player uses a controller with an analog stick and a button to control triangle-shaped avatars that shoot projectiles. The object of the game is to knock a circular ball into the opposing team's endzone. Players hold the button to charge a shot, which fires upon release. The projectile can propel the ball, block other projectiles, and incapacitate opponents.The projectile becomes more powerful with the length of time the button is held: projectiles can then range from ineffective to effective to "a slam" that can propel the ball across the full screen. If held for an additional second, the fourth level of a charged shot places a defensive square barrier. A charge cannot be held forever. Games last an average of four minutes, though they can last several times more. The game is visualized in all solid, bright colors and basic shapes.
The game supports up to six human or artificial intelligence players in local and online multiplayer. Videoball also has ranked matchmaking multiplayer mode.

Pursued by aliens, it’s up the lowly security droids to save humanity. Taking up arms solo or with a friend, you must dance with death in a brutal and addictive arcade platformer shooter inspired by Super Crate Box and stuffed to the brim with unlockables.
