The Dodgeball Blast public Steam Playtest is officially LIVE!
After a lot of development, testing, bug fixing, and polish, I'm excited to finally put Dodgeball Blast into the hands of more players. The Playtest is completely FREE and available on Steam now through September 16.
WHAT IS DODGEBALL BLAST?
Dodgeball Blast is a fast-paced 3D action-adventure that takes the simple idea of dodgeball and turns it into something much bigger.
Explore a colorful overworld, battle a wild cast of larger-than-life bosses, complete minigames, unlock new abilities, solve puzzles, discover secrets, and put your dodging and throwing skills to the test.
The full game features:
• 10 unique boss battles
• 9 different minigames
• An explorable overworld filled with puzzles and secrets
• Unlockable abilities that change how you move, fight, and explore
• Fast-paced dodgeball combat
• Single-player campaign
• Local and online multiplayer
The goal has always been to take the instantly understandable mechanics of dodgeball and build an entire action-adventure around them, with plenty of humor, personality, and surprises along the way.
THE PUBLIC PLAYTEST
The current Steam Playtest runs:
SEPTEMBER 10 - SEPTEMBER 16
The Playtest is FREE, and players can join directly through the Dodgeball Blast Steam page.
This is an important test for the game as I prepare Dodgeball Blast for Steam Next Fest in October.
I'm using the Playtest to see how the game performs in the hands of players who haven't spent hundreds of hours developing it!
I'm particularly interested in feedback about:
• How the dodgeball combat and controls feel
• Boss difficulty and balancing
• Progression and pacing
• Anything that feels confusing or frustrating
• Bugs and unexpected behavior
• What parts of the game players enjoy the most
• Where the experience could be improved
Even a few sentences of feedback can be incredibly useful.
If something doesn't make sense, I want to know. If you find a ridiculous bug, I definitely want to know. And if there's something you absolutely love, I'd like to hear that too.
HELP SHAPE DODGEBALL BLAST
One of the biggest reasons for running this Playtest before Steam Next Fest is to give myself time to act on what players discover.
Feedback and bug reports from this test will help determine what gets fixed, adjusted, clarified, or polished before the next major public showing of the game.
If Dodgeball Blast looks like your kind of game, I'd love to have you join us.
Play the FREE Steam Playtest now through September 16.
Find Dodgeball Blast on Steam and jump in.
And if you enjoy the Playtest, consider wishlisting the full game to follow development toward release.
Thanks to everyone who has already played, requested access, shared the game, or sent feedback. Seeing people outside of development finally getting their hands on Dodgeball Blast has been incredibly exciting.
I'll have more to share as we head toward Steam Next Fest in October!
