About

It features multiple game modes, including "Minimal" for solo or multiplayer and "Point Ball" for PvP competition, and different types of balls such as Color Balls that glow when struck by the same color and Thunder Balls. The game supports local and online multiplayer for 2-6 players, with both split-screen and single-mouse options.
