I've recently seen interest by a small amount of members about this beast of a game.

So here's some info.

"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."

UniBall is the hardest game to master that I've ever played.

If you wish to download and try the game (it's free!), go here: www.uniballhq.com

And also here's a video of its gameplay.



PS: If you get a decent amount of WFs playing this, I'll challenge you all for a 1vsX on any map and show you how hard the game is

PPS: The video is old but features some of the top players. Also the UB community is really small

It's very hard at the begining so ALOT of people who try it quit immediatly ;\. I'd even say that about 80% of the people who tried the game quit after their first day or two

I keep getting kicked out of games, and being called a noob.. do I smell bad?

No, your stentch is not the problem in this case. The game of UniBall tends to have a learning curve that everyone must endure, but don't let this or other people get you down! Miniball is a great map to get your feet wet, and often welcomes people of all skill levels. So get in there, and show the people who kicked you who they're dealing with!

I laughed lots at the end of that.
ANYWAY I guess I'm off to, er, get my feet wet.

EDIT: Oh snap, my screen looks as though I'm looking through an infared kaleidoscope. I hope I can find the work-around, I want to play the tutorial D:
