Impossiball (tuxdb.com)

We are very excited to release version 0.1. It's such a big deal that we skipped over 0.07, 0.08 and 0.09. There are two major changes in this version: [olist]

Dodgeball This is a new game-mode where you must now avoid the balls. Points are earned when your opponent gets hit. However, the balls get faster AND bigger over time.

Optimsation We have optimised every aspect of the game and it now runs much, much faster. [/olist] There were also a few minor changes too:

The game-over screen now requires you to press any button to return to the main menu. (This is especially useful if you want to rub your opponent's nose in the fact that you just utterly, utterly thrashed them.)
Power-Ups are removed after 10 seconds if they are not picked up.
Added instructions for Dodgeball.

As always, if you experience any problems with the game then please let us know either in the comments below or via the Discussions. Happy gaming! Dark Duo Games

The 1970's and 80's were a golden time for video games. Impossiball pays homage to one of the original greats of that era, but with a 21st century update.

The aim is to score as many points as you can by getting balls past your opponent, whilst stopping as many as possible from getting past you. By rotating your ship you have fine control over the direction balls will bounce. The first player to reach the score limit wins. There is a variety of Power-Ups and 'game changers' like Magnet, Invisiball, Inversion, Shield and Impossiball to make your game easier, or your opponent's game harder.

Time-tested, classic game-play upgraded with 500 balls on screen and 3D graphics. You can try to beat the AI (with three difficulty levels) or challenge a friend.

We have drawn inspiration from Pong (of course) as well as Geometry Wars, Speedball, Break Out and Arkanoid among others.

As of version 0.1 (released on 22 November 2016), there are now two different game-modes to choose from: the classic IMPOSSIBALL as described above and the new DODGEBALL which, as its name suggests, requires you to avoid the balls as they get faster and bigger!
