Huge Update - September 9th, 2026

Huge update!!!

0.89.762

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for your patience while we work out the bugs. It's to be expected with an alpha-state build but we're almost onto the beta stage soon as we rapidly approach the September 25th launch. I'm pleased to report a playable, but still occasionally buggy multiplayer experience.

The current multiplayer modes:

Arcade

2 teams of up to 6 players each duke it out for soccer supremacy

Competitive

Elimination soccer. Score on other teams until they have no points left to eliminate them. 12 players total, up to 4 teams total.

Coming soon but already accessible in the Debug Mode launch (use at own risk)

Dodge Bowl (WIP)

Up to 11 players take turns bowling each other down for points!

And lastly,

Galactidodge (WIP)

Up to 12 players dodge to survive or hit balls into your fellow players to eliminate them from the round. Last one standing gets the point!

Game modes coming soon, first one hopefully by September 25th.

Zombie-Ball

1 player starts as a zombie, the other 11 try to survive. Any turned players can be turned back by the healing ball. Use powerups to evade the zombies and protect yourself! This game mode turns time survived into points.

Passing the Stones of Mount McKidney (working title)

Ok,
The premise is simple enough. Volcano has a ring around it; you're on that ring. Volcano spits out balls that bounce around and split apart before they pass over the ring. Your job's simple: Don't get hit by the ball. Don't let anyone push you in either. ;)

Black Hole Soccer

Soccer with a twist; black-holes keep closing and re-opening up randomly to eat up and spit out balls and players alike.

Updates:

  • Added telemetry uploader for debug mode only - optional but helps with development.
  • Optimized netcode, Ball Prediction System, NPCs, ball physics and fixed crazy-cam.
  • Added feature to join lobby and assign controller to player by simply pressing A at the lobby.
  • Too many more to mention.

Try it out now!
