About

Teams of three players, each with unique abilities, compete in quick, five-minute matches. It’s easy to pick up and play, but offers a lot of depth for skilled players. You’ll use explosive powers, clever tactics, and teamwork to outplay opponents in visually stunning, cyberpunk arenas. Players can freeze rivals, create shields, or teleport to score. Success relies on coordinating with your team, anticipating your opponents’ moves, and making smart plays. With a diverse cast of characters and constantly evolving gameplay, Superball keeps every match feeling new and exciting.
