WarpBall
Early Access Release and Patch 05/06/2017
Loads of additions have been made so you can tailor your class and power-up to your playstyle: INTRODUCING…the Defender and the Psionic classes.
Defender class (previously playable at events) includes the abilities Growth, Emergency retreat, and Wall.
Psionic class is a completely new class that we’re pretty psyched about. Coming complete with super cool psionic abilities: Psi freeze, Gravity pull and Kinetic blast. SO play around and let us know what you think!
Phase shot has been removed as an ability and skins/customisation have been disabled for the meantime while the customisation system is being redesigned.
Performance improvements – garbage collection occurs less often so there are fewer staggers in game (hurrah!). Some cosmetic changes have also been made to make the whole shebang prettier for you peepers.
Some issues that we’re aware of and are currently working on: The lack of loading screen when entering a game makes it look like the game has frozen (it hasn’t, it’s just loading), and abilities aren’t seen in instant replays making the game play replay look a bit weird.
As always we hope you have an absolute blast playing with the new changes and welcome any feedback and comments you have. HAVE FUN FOLKS!
Alpha Patch Notes 04/08/2016 - Customisation Update
Skins come in different quality levels and rarities, so if you find a Mint-Condition Brushed Pixel skin, count yourself pretty darn lucky!
Please give us feedback on the skins themselves, we're really looking forward to seeing what you think of them.
If you want to help WarpBall's development and nab yourself a copy early, head on over to PixelFunder and back our campaign!

OR simply by e-mailing a quick description of the bug, and how it occurred to: cases@warpball.fogbugz.com
Quick Patch 1
Just released a patch that should stop the game from disconnecting online matches as soon as a goal is scored. Some bad code from yours truly meant that it was checking the wrong data for desyncs!
Also, I've improved the keyboard/mouse controls for those of you without a gamepad (but seriously the game is MUCH better played with a gamepad). Keyboard and mouse controls are:
WASD: Movemement
I/Right Click: Tackle
O/Q: WarpPass
U/Right click: Shoot
P/E/Middle mouse: Ability
Space/LeftClick: Warp
I'll add in a key rebinding screen soon, so that you can change them to your own preferences, as some people have been asking for that.
