I like Pett's brap ability. It is super funny when he toots
it is 2023 I remenber playing this game on my xbox 360 It was really fun back then but when I installed on my pc after a long time I saw alot of people left and the egame just died, was it because of of lack of updates? I recommend anyone to play this if they only like to play singleplayer and get achivements and unlock new itens. hf :)
Recently finished this game. Apart from a few balancing issues this is a surprisingly fun little sort-of top-down shooter.
5 bucks for this game may feel like a lot, and considering that you can finish this game in under 3 hours, it is on the edge of "Is this worth it?". I would say yes and no:
It is worth it if: You have friends to play co-op with, or you are a big fan of guns-blazing top-down shooters. It is 5 bucks after all; don't buy a bag of chips and a soda and boom; You have a free game.
It is not worth it if: You play the single-player and single-player only, and are only remotely interested in top-down shooters. This game offers nothing new that hasn't already been done in its genre, it just provides a nice game.
Personally, I would buy this on a sale, but I do not regret my purchase.
[hr][/hr]Once upon the time it was fun and original game. However game had died with Xbox 360 console and nobody is playing this game anymore. It is not worth the trouble creating LAN parties, single player content is exceedingly mediocre and unfortunately, there is simply no point of why you should try this game today.[hr][/hr]

Once a fun little game
It is one of those games which I always regretted for not playing more when it was popular. I remembered it fondly and it certainly was fun playing this game with my friends in CO-OP. Unfortunately, I had waited for too long and this game is dead.
What it has rolling for it?
Back when I was in high school there was a lot fewer original games. I was amazed by the fact that your character is a rolling ball and you have a third person camera shooter with special abilities and classes. Game felt unique and amazing. It certainly was unique for the time as there were quite few mainstream games which were this creative in times when Team Fortress 2 could be considered fresh, innovating, groundbreaking with its own classes and cartoonish graphics.
Game had significant player-base, mostly due to strong console presence. It prospered during XBOX 360 days and was very popular game on XBOX Live Arcade. I do not know if there was a cross over with PC community, but servers were teeming with life. Game was a hit, everyone enjoyed playing it until...it just died. Game died as console gamers moved a generation ahead and developers never shown an interest in further supporting and developing their own game.
Rolling Down the Hill
I do have few good memories with this game and I did enjoy playing this game in LAN with my friends. Unfortunately, I will have to advise other players from playing this game. The main attraction - multiplayer is dead. Other game modes either feel unfinished or are just plain bad.
- Campaign is nothing to write home about. Story is nonsensical and it is unclear what we are exactly doing from mission to mission. It is just gleefully killing enemies and then we must acquire some super duper plot device which in truth gives us anything we want. It is just a terrible plot which goes nowhere which anybody could write.
Campaign itself is too long and tedious. Later on it just spams you with enemies. Every damn room is filled with bullet spongy enemies which makes this game annoying to beat. Initially there is a small element of secret hunting, but levels are linear, plot is terrible and levels drag on with bullet spongy enemies.
Game has little variety in its own enemies or gameplay. At one point I thought that game mixed it up a little when I was teleported supposedly on my own on an ice planet. I went to explore it and it was refreshing to fight wildlife or rather simpler enemies for once. However, quickly unpolished nature of this game showed up when my Madball rolled on spikes and I was forces to go all the way back. This is when I discovered that I did not needed to do any of that and my comrades were just around the corner. I tried to make game fun for nothing. I tried to collect keys for nothing.
Movement Pushback
- This game has a strange sensation. Your character is seemingly pushed backwards when it hits some surfaces. This creates an awful, unpolished feeling. What I missed in this game were actual rolling mechanics. There is no such thing in this game, your character loses their momentum instantly, it can't speed up nor even heaviest Madballs have an issue in changing direction. However, when they hit random terrain elements in a map, they can instantly be stopped. It seems to be a bug where engine registers total stop of a character when you expect to still have sideways momentum and to keep on rolling.
Tedious and grindy campaign

Issues with gameplay
This game has countless smaller issues which adds up to game feeling unfinished, unpolished, cheap. They could be hints what company should improve if they ever would want to create a sequel. These points are also illustrated in my video.
- Surfaces in this game have no friction. You are free to slide around terrain. It adds up to unsatisfactory movement which characters in this game has. Rolling resistance, sliding in some areas, these things could had significantly lightened up this game and made it more unique than it is.
Confusing Score Screen
- As it says in the title, score which you get at the end of a level is hard to decipher. Sometimes you get no points for killing enemies. There are no details explaining why you scored as well as you did.
Cheating enemy movement
- Enemy seems to cheat in this game. It can go through impossible to travel terrain. This can create quite frustrating experiences in the campaign where enemies will simply roll through unreachable terrain out out of your line of fire. One time enemy just rolled from the map and was impossible to reach. Annoyingly, it was a part where I had to kill all enemies in an arena. This forces me to restart game to a previous check point.
Glitchy camera
- Camera in this game is not a best and constantly can glitch through objects.
Poor Autolock
- Autolock in this game is quite terrible. It fails dealing properly with elevations. This makes firing enemies below or above you annoying. Especially since later on in a game there are plenty bullet spongy, fast enemy flyers.
Poor Jumpads
- How do you mess something like this up? This game has jumpads which fail to elevate you and you end up jumping up and down.
Interuptive Cutscenes
[*]Throughout the campaign you will constantly be interrupted with cutscenes. You will be in a firefight one moment and the next everything will stop for game to show you what has changed.
Sliding Mechanics
End of the Hill
In the end there is no real reason why you should play this game today. It is a dead game with nothing to show for outside of its multiplayer. Its single player aspect is exceedingly mediocre. There is nothing interesting in it and while game can potentially be fun with upwards of three players, you could say that to any game. It was a good trip to the past, getting to know a game which I always regretted not playing more during its prime.
Most people have never heard of this game, which is a pity, because it is very good. It isn't very long, but it is worth its $5 asking price.
You can play the full game with another player in online coop, which is by far the best way to play. The multiplayer is dead, it being so old and so ignored, but If you've got a pal to play with, get this.
With satisfying explosions and a fairly good variety in level design, the gameplay is not at all bad. Unfortunately, for me, the levels are way too long and the camera movement gives me motion sickness after about 15 minutes.
There are, of course, better games of this kind out there in 2021: Assault Android Cactus, Nex Machina and Blue Rider to name but a few.
I really liked this game. It is odd too, because it is completely outside what I normally play. It was bright, colorful, interesting and fast paced with multiple paths to victory. It was well beta tested and I had no problems with ragged edges or black holes...just fun. I never got bored and played it at least five or six times through. I can definitely recommend this one if you like crazy shooters with just a touch of puzzling thrown in.
Fine for the price tag . Though no one plays this game now in 2020, so multiplayer is dead. 10 not-so challenging levels where you control a unstable rolling ball shooting other balls making them blast to bits and pieces. If you are up for this amazing showcase and bursting balls, unconcerned about the plot and dwelling too much into intricate details, this game is for you.
This game is shockingly good, especially in multiplayer. Analog control with a gamepad features some of the best sphere control in any game out there. Kinda weird thing to highlight, but it's truly a joy to just roll around. Perfect sense of momentum and friction.
Wasn't a bad game but not worth the price tag and community is dead. If you can get it on sale and play with friends then it's worth $5 but otherwise I would skip this one.
This game is pretty fun, offering a decent story line and fun multi-player combat. It's extremely surprising that so few people have ever played this. The campaign is fun, but the unfortunate element is that there are hardly any people playing this game, which makes the multiplayer boring unless you have a bunch of friends.
It was fun grinding this game to 100%, and I'm not a fan of cheevos.
The gameplay was cool: might be a little hard to get confident with the controls, but I enjoyed it once I got the hand, playing the story, CTF, DM and whatnot with my 360 controller.
Definitely recommended if you're looking for something to play on the couch.
If you need ratings:
Graphic: 8/10
Sound: 8/10
Longevity: 8/10
Gameplay: 8/10
Overall: 8/10
This is a great game to play with friends. The gameplay is smooth and very well done. The story gets you ready for online play. The online community is small but still active from time to time. The gun fights can be a lot of fun and the different weapons in the game make it interesting to fight with all the variety. The online battles are fun but can be hard for new players. There is a co-op option that is fun to play with friends and see how long you can survive. The view that you get is a top down view which is great for this game but can be hard at times. It does support the Xbox controller which is a nice addition to the game. This is a great game and I highly recommend it.
Such a good game going to waste because no one will play it. Honestly it should be featured in a free week or free weekend, or it should just be free to play.
I remember when this was really popular on xbox arcade, matches are really fun with many people. If this game was free to play, it would be way more popular.
You want fun? You want crazy? You want crazy fun?! THEN THIS GAME IS FOR YOU!
Fun weapons and crazy maps to play on against others.
Crazy weapons too.
Don't know if anyone is still on the servers but if there isn't bring friends and beer!
Trust me! It will be glorious and you will be talking about it for years!
(pssst. Get the grenade lobber, but don't tell your friends)
The same that Nuclear Dawn, awsome games but deadly, In Nuclear dawn can got some players in servers sometimes, but in Madballs dont got any player anytime, is too sad. Is a great game, great fun, great story, and good gameplay, I recomend it, and if anyone want a mulpiplayer game, tell me, and we can got fun there.
This game was one of my favorites when it was released. Sadly, the multiplayer was kind of dead. Co-op game mode can provide some fun with friends and even randoms.
This game is great to the point I'm buying copies to revive the MP. My clan will be playing this again and so should you guys. Add me if you're interested in playing this with me :D
Although moderately fun in its concept, the game gets repetitive pretty fast. It doesn't have the uniqueness that you would expect.
A fine game but there are better out there.
The only thing I could ever think of to explain this game is the word "guns". Whether you are playing the competitive multiplayer mode or the Single-player/cooperative campaign mode, half the time you will be switching guns you find along the way. The variety of weapons found in this game are also divided into 2 separate energy types, which are regular bullet-type weapons & laser type weapons, and the other being heat & cold powered weapons. Your character is a living sphere that rolls around as you move, and each one has his/her own special abilities at their disposal. Experiment with the variety of characters and weapons in this game and find out what suits you best.
It's a great game to play with friends, or by yourself if that is your thing. Either way, this game is quite good and can keep you entertained for a while.
A bit of nostalgia for us ole fogies who remember the toys, plus it's not a bad co-op and versus action arcade game to boot. Another good game that seemed to come out of nowhere.
