Animated Blood, Fantasy Violence
This is a third-person shooter in which players guide a rolling eye ball through ruins, volcanoes, ice shelves, and other maze-like environments. Viewed from an overhead perspective, players fire rockets, shoot lasers, and throw grenades at small robots and other ball-shaped creatures. While most aspects of the game are "cartoony" and irreverent (e.g., confetti effects; "splatt" and "doh" sounds to indicate damage; dialogue such as "It's always fun until someone loses an eye."), the combat can sometimes get intense. Heavy gunfire and realistic, fiery explosions are common, and defeated enemies often leave green, orange, or pink "paint" splotches on the ground.

The spiritual successor to the massively popular freeware top-down shooter BaboViolent2, Madballs in Babo:Invasion is an arena based 3D shooter offering players a satisfying and immersive experience in both single-player and multiplayer, including 'Invasion Mode' where players are able to design their own combat maps almost instantaneously by placing a combination of map tiles to create a never-before-seen map before gameplay starts. Truly, no two games are ever the same.
Featuring the recently re-released Madballs™ characters, Oculus Orbus™ and Horn Head™, from the popular 1980s toys best remembered for their outrageously bad looks and graphically colourful names, Madballs in...Babo: Invasion is a feature laden 'casually hardcore' action shooter.
