Galactic Knockball

In the not so far future of 5024 there is only one sport that excites the whole galaxy: KNOCKBALL!

You can now experience the excitement of this extraordinary ballgame in a spectacular 20th century technology video game representation.

This is a two player game. You will need a friend, a foe or a complete stranger to play with.

Gameplay

After both players joined the game by pressing fire on their respective controllers, the match starts. There are two red balls floating around the arena. A player can grab one of those by running into it. Hitting the fire button kicks the ball in the direction the athlete is facing. If the goal (round thing with a joyful expression) is knocked off by a ball, the opposing player scores a point and the balls are reset. The player with the most points at the end of the match wins the game and may bask in the glory of his/her victory.

Controls

I suggest playing this game with two analog joysticks or controllers. It can be played with the keyboard as well though, in that case the two players can be controlled by:

• WASD and left control or shift
• arrow keys and right control or shift

Press X on the title screen to access the astonishingly high resolution mode.

Known issues

Unity has issues handling the analog input of some Thrustmaster controllers, and I was not able to circumvent these. I do own a couple of those, I know how bitter this is, sorry.
