It surely stings getting hit by a dodgeball, however, what is the ball turns you into stone? And what if the person thrown at you was at the same time staying in sync with the electronic music?
It's exactly the concept that the developer FinalBoss Games has taken with their latest title: Super Dodgeball Beats. Below is the trailer of the game, which you can have a look:
Dodgeball and Music
In Super Dodgeball Beats, they have mixed sports and rhythm with a bright visual style. You will control your dodgeball team to go against many wild opponents from everywhere on Earth.
These diverse teams will bring on stage thunder ancients, vampires, and bears to fight with your student dodgeball team. Remember to sync your throw with the beat to beat the opponent.
If just like me, you are not good with timing, then you could utilize the power-ups to gain a bit of advantage. Use to stone golem to freeze the opponent team or poison to sickening your opponents. There are also the grenades that you can use to increase the damage output of your throw.
But be aware that your opponent might use their nasty tricks as well. You are not the only one who knows how to play dirty in this game.
Challenge a friend
If you already get sick of the AI opponents, you can always challenge a friend (whipping a buddy in his face is just the charm of dodgeball). You could play multiplayer matches locally vs a friend.
You two could choose from a list of several teams; together with some tracks to see who will be the better player and rhythm catcher. As I was neither, I was destroyed quickly.
Super Dodgeball Beats is now available on PC via Steam, Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch.
