Update 0.21 - Linux and Mac versions added

IMPOSSIBALL is now available to gamers on Linux/SteamOS and Mac! As well as builds for the new platforms, this latest version includes the following changes:

You can now re-map the keys for both player 1 and player 2 via the CONTROLS page. Just click on a key and you will be prompted to assign a new key.
Added a new video option to turn on or off "VSync" - this limits the frame rate to the refresh rate of your monitor and reduces the load on your graphics card.
When the cursor is hidden, the mouse is now locked in position - fixing a problem discovered on Linux
Fixed the "mouse exploit" reported by Linas W. N. Sparrow - you can no longer move the mouse up and down quickly to create an impenetrable wall

With regards to the last item in that list - the fix required us to limit the speed at which you can move the ship with the mouse. This is necessary to make it fair when playing against someone else using either the keyboard or a controller. It takes a little getting used to but, hopefully, you will understand that it was a necessary step. We would like to thank all the Linux beta testers that were recruited via GamingOnLinux.com As always, we encourage your feedback and suggestions. 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!
