It has been a little while since the last update. However, we hope to release a new version this week with DOUBLES mode added. Up to 4 players will be able to play locally or you can play single-player with an AI team mate. We will also release a new trailer for the game and you can see a screenshot from the trailer above. As always, if you have any questions, comments or feedback then please d…
IMPOSSIBALL is now available to gamers on Linux/SteamOS and Mac! As well as builds for the new platforms, this latest version includes the following changes: · You can now re-map the keys for both player 1 and player 2 via the CONTROLS page. Just click on a key and you will be prompted to assign a new key. · Added a new video option to turn on or off "VSync" - this limits the frame rate to the…
After feedback from the community we've created a classic pong mode entitled 'Loneball'. There's a single ball retro-ed up with neon effects and a chiptune soundtrack.

We are very excited to release version 0.1. It's such a big deal that we skipped over 0.07, 0.08 and 0.09. There are two major changes in this version: · Dodgeball This is a new game-mode where you must now avoid the balls. Points are earned when your opponent gets hit. However, the balls get faster AND bigger over time. · Optimsation We have optimised every aspect of the game and it now runs m…
Greetings! We are currently working on a new update that will feature two BIG changes: · A new game mode will be available! (It's so big we had to modify the arena to accommodate it!) · We have optimised every aspect of the game and made huge improvements to the frame rate. We feel that this update will be so significant that we are skipping over 0.07, 0.08 and 0.09 and we're going straight to…
In this new update we have made a few improvements: · Fixed the AI always missing the last ball. · When selecting "PLAY" for the first time - the input method being used is chosen as Player 1's control type. So, for example, if you click "PLAY" with the mouse then Player 1 will be set to mouse control. If you use a controller, then player 1 will be set to Controller input, and so on. · When the…
Another week, another new version of Impossiball with the following changes: · Changed the scoring system so that only balls of your colour score points when put past your opponent. The previous system can still be played by turning on the new 'Own Goals' option before a game. · Tweaked the AI... again... to make the CPU opponent seem a little less stupid · DPad can now be used to navigate the…
(*) ...and by "life a little easier" we mean this game. Obviously. We've just released a new version with the following changes: · Tweaked the AI to make the game a little easier. · When the Steam Overlay is open (via Shift+Tab or the Steam key on the Steam controller) the game is now paused (see screen-shot above). · Removed the launch window - can now select screen resolution and quality in t…
We are very pleased to announce that the Impossiball Trading Cards are now available! Now that they're done we can turn our attention back to essential game-play improvements. The next task on 'the list' is to ensure the game works in "Big Picture" mode and can be played entirely using the Steam Controller. Happy trading!
We could play "guess what we'll be doing next" but lets face it...we all know. We're going to play every single game in our Steam Library with the Steam Controller and see how it works! Oh yeah, and then, after that, we will get around to making sure IMPOSSIBALL can be played entirely on the controller! ːsteamhappyː
We have been busy creating all the assets needed for Trading Cards. This includes badges, emoticons and profile images as well as the cards themselves. Above you can see an "artist's (*) impression (**)" of what the cards will look like. (*) We say "artist" but it was actually a programmer. (**) We say "impression" but it's more of a preview really. What he did was take cards from "Her Story" a…
Added Mouse control - can now move the ship by moving the mouse and rotate it using left and right mouse buttons · Updated the PLAY menu to allow selection of control method for both players · You can now skip the DarkDuoGames video by hitting any key · Improved the look of the score and removed "Player 1" and "Player 2" text - using red and blue background instead · Tweaked the colours of the…
We've released our first update! - Added a new menu option: "CONTROLS" which describes the player control options - Added a new menu option: "INSTRUCTIONS" which explains the game rules and power-ups - The winning player is now named on the Game Over screen Enjoy! Dark Duo Games
