addedHold onto your grappling hooks ladies and gentlemen, because it’s officially Sky Ball season! Sky Ball is the most popular sport in the world of Skyhook, where two teams battle it out to throw the ball into the other team’s goal. There are no fouls or red cards in this sport, hook the other team to their death, grab the sky ball, and swing towards the goal. With the introduction of Sky Ball, I wanted to take the time to make it so that you could play team matches in any of the game modes. Team Deathmatch is no longer one of the options, instead you can play Deathmatch, Steam Tank and Sky Slayers as a team! On top of that, the new team selection menu allows you to choose teams for bots too! There are no more limitations on what modes you can and cannot play with bots.
