A game you will all enjoy.

I hope I'm posting this in the relevant forum if not, I apologize.

Info:

One of the longest running independent games on the Internet, Uniball has evolved from a simple version of space hockey into a sport that is uniquely its own.

The basics remain simple and easy to learn: you maneuver, you pass and you shoot in order to score goals.

But beyond this simple design lies a surprisingly complex game involving teamwork and individual skill that can take a lifetime to master.


History:

UniBall is a free 2D online multiplayer game. Originally created by C:\ (Josh Langley), who was a graphics designer for ARC and now works as an artist for PopCap Games, it is now owned and maintained by NickW (Nick Weihs), who also programmed BRChat, the companion chat program to UniBall who now works as a programmer for Insomniac Games in LA. In its most popular game mode, Hockey, players are given ships that can move, boost (move faster) for short distances, and shoot and receive balls. Players on opposing teams compete to be the first to score enough points to win the game.


Independent Videos (so you can see what it's like):

some of the videos have flickering in them which is a result of not using correct settings on the video recorder

Some more info:

Many players choose to form and join squads, similar to clans in other games. Squads may participate in the ongoing UniBall Ladder, or may compete in a league. Often, a squad will host a game pitting their squad as one team against a team composed of any three members of the general community. These types of games are often the only type of practice squads have, outside of league or tournament play.

There also exists an official duel ladder, which encourages competition among individual players. The duel ladder uses the chess rating system to determine the ranks of players. Currently, there are over 1000 players ranked on the duel ladder.

If only I had known about it 3 days ago. Would have been a hit at Lanparty!

Not played it in a long time dude. L y t e o was the name

played with other Irish Esports guys when we just pissed about looking for games to play between title releases or w/e.

Had a blast playing uniball The better players were great to watch.. some of them made it look so easy but as soon as you go try it you're looking like a retard, lol.

Really, really tough skill curve and most of the good players get frustrated with a noob and just quit. Very frustrating to play, but really fun game and I reckon I'll stick with it for a bit

Designer101

Yeah cool do. You're best off setting up your own game with a title of like "noobs only" or whatever, there are plenty of noobs who are in the same boat and will join. What's your name on it Ivan I'll look out for you!?
