Leif Kellenberger's Tazing Challenge by pudding
Don't listen to those bastards that say Ultimate Tazer Ball is dead. It's very much alive, and we're keeping it that way.
Yes, this is a real sport, and yes, the word "taser" is spelled incorrectly. Didn't have much time so it's a tad unpolished :(

It was a little chaotic sometimes when there are too mush tasers.
Great idea and great game !
But overall the game is a bit messy :/ it's confusing to understand when we can swap player and it often ends in a big melee. But I think with just some tweaks it coul be really fun to play

Quite funny one. I'm guessing the whole Blades of Steel / Double Dribble speech was an intentional nod. Could have been even more bit crushed though. And even the cardiac arrest thing reminded me of Blades of Steel where the one actually losing the fight got kicked out of the game.
Then to the downsides. The gameplay was very limited because the camera was so zoomed in. Because of that, character switching was completely pointless because either you had to ball or had no clue what was going on. Even though the cardiac arrest thing was fun and all, it got old quite quick and waiting for that "cutscene" got less fun every time it happened again.
Controls were a bit clunky. Especially when trying to walk diagonally, it just didn't seem to co-operate at all. I still have no idea what the shoot power meter thing was. Didn't seem to do much. Aiming the taser was nigh impossible, luckily my team mates were as good using it as my opponents so I just had to focus on doing goals. And it wasn't even clear which was which goal. Had to let the opponent score first to see which way I should be scoring to.
The intro was quite confusing. It's 2015 (future) now and in three years so 2014 something something. I mean, WHAT? :thinking:
Anyways, good job! :thumbsup:
But I think that ultimate tazer ball is a bit to hard for me
Still a great entry !
Loved it in spite of everything that's wrong with it in terms of controls. It might also be a bit long at 15 points to win and it's unfair that eliminating the enemy team doesn't give an instant win to the player as well.
Great effort!
