addedBig updates! We're live with the latest version of Protoball! This time with a brand new game mode, "PitBall" but probably being changed to Lavaball, as it's being called in the discord. Use the shield's explosion & push back effect to knock your opponents off the platforms, and into the LAVAPIT. Using all the same Protoball mechanics (high tech space athlete most amazing movement tech you've ever played) in a whole new setting and mode. It's a blast, and it gets crazy. The more you get hit with a shield, the more you fly. When your bar hits 100% you better dodge everything. Steam post image If you lose a team-mate you can bring them back by scoring in your opponent's goal with the ball. The ball also pushes people back if you can manage to hit them with it. It's last man standing or first to 5 points (elims). GL HF (join the discord, the game is starting to pop off right now and it's a ton of fun!) discord.gg/protoball
