Play Overview
Videoball (2016) is a minimalist sports game for up to six players. The aim is to get one of the balls into the opponent’s goal by shooting it with triangles. It’s highly skilled, frantic and works brilliantly in a competitive family setting.
It's like a combination of air hockey and football played in teams of 1-3 players. You use the controller joystick to control a triangle-shaped character and press a single button to shoot triangles at the ball. You can hold the button to charge a more powerful shot.
Our examiner, Andy Robertson, first checked Videoball 5 years ago. It was re-examined by Thom Robertson and updated 6 months ago.
