Lupinball

[table][th] Review by Sven Evil - Steam's largest local 4-player curator! See 100s of more local 4-player reviews at my [url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/8485829-SvenEvils-Playground/] curator page[/url]! [/th][/table] Often simple games prove to be the best games. A good example is Lupinball. It's setup is wonderfully simplistic, it is easily understandable so anyone is able to play within seconds. 4-player doge-ball anyone? First you have to collect 3 randomly spawning orbs to charge up a fireball. Then you shoot the fireball at your friends. Any hit is deadly, even from your own fireball. The speciality is this: If you miss, the fireball does not disappear, but bounces around the screen (until someone is hit by it). You can now collect three orbs again and shoot another fireball. Very soon the screen is full of fireballs bouncing around! Simple? Yes! Fun? LOTS OF!!! Different stages, some spawning boxes with different extras and the ability to use your orbs to power up a shield add some variety. The game also has a certain charm with its retro-style graphic, quirky characters and funny loading-screen tips! Lupinball plays great with only two players, something that cannot be said about all single-screen 4-player games. But for the full mayhem, play it with 4 players! Lupinball can be enjoyed by both local and online players. Best way to find online players is Lupinball's discord server. Single player is possible... but not recommended. Game worked fine with 4 Xbox One controllers. [u][b] Conclusion:[/b][/u] Perfect ‘pick up and play‘ party game for 4 players!

I am the artist of the game, which is ironic, because I have not done any art for my profile picture. But I digress. This game has been interesting through and through development. What we can do, what we can't do. What we have time to do. What we had to sacrifice in content to make the game look good. It wasn't easy, but all the same, I still think I could add more. For a team of two people who already have other full-time commitments, it's a huge drain on us, but we loved doing this. The game is slick, the controls are tight, and we honestly put a lot of time in testing to make sure it felt right. And here it is... a really well thought-out couch game that's playable over the internet with very simple and intuitive controls, yet enough variety that people can get the hang of it. All in all... I would love people to play the game more often. It's been an amazingly wild ride and I want to hear what people think of it, the good and the bad.

Simple, Basic, Fun I would totally recommend this to anyone with a few friends who just want to have a bunch of stupid fun. This game doesn't take you on an adventure, it's not trying to be an experience, but what it is is just pure fun. The controls are tight and easy to learn; move with the analog stick, A to shoot fireballs, and B to generate shields... That's it. The multitude of "on pick up use" power ups and differing stage layouts gives a lot of diversity that is fun to revisit time and again. My only cons with the game is that there is a single player mode, but it's just a "Try to beat the high score" gameplay I'm not a huge fan of, and I'd like to see a wider variety of characters and stages added over time. I know there's only so many colors available to make each fireball unique from another player's, but, perhaps, two toned or multicolored fireballs? And I'd like there to be a option to exclude certain stages from random selection. As fun as the game is there is a stage or two I don't, personally, like. Also a pause menu when playing online with friends (not necessarily with randos). Those very minor gripes aside, I still think this game is worth your time and it's cheap enough that it's an easy impulse buy. It was made by a small group of people and I think this project was successful, even if I'd like to see certain things added in via patches in future. Give this game a shot.

i played this at PAX south and was also a bug tester in the beta, and it's held up as a good little party game both times! you can pretty much just jump right in and play with whoever you want, and there's no real "gap" between first-time players and folks that have been playing for a while.

9/10 开发商可怜到求玩家写评测，酒香也怕巷子深 开门见山，好玩的一匹，支持本地，支持手柄，支持网联 （本人在美国那肯定是不卡，国内不知道不过游戏也不贵） 简介：弹幕PK游戏，捡场上刷新的小蓝豆儿，按A全部消耗发射永久弹幕，或按B开无敌；场上形势越来越激烈，集中注意吧；角色之间没有差异，自己的子弹不会伤害自己；玩法简单但能让子孙欢笑满堂的游戏，吹逼之余还能练习走位，岂不美哉 然而暂时人少，匹配网连是肯定没人的，能凑齐几兄弟的，还是极力推荐

O Jogo é simplesmente fantástico, quando comecei a assistir o trailer pela primeira vez achei que seria um jogo no máximo legalzinho, mas ao fim do trailer eu estava "EU PRECISO DESSE JOGO" Quando o jogo estava em Beta entrei em contato com o desenvolvedor para trazer o jogo no meu canal do Youtube, Não me arrependo nem um pouco, gostei tanto dele que me ofereci para traduzir o jogo para português gratuitamente, assim quem não entendesse inglês poderia se divertir e entender as frases e piadas sem problemas. O jogo tem um multiplayer frenético e super divertido. Com os gráficos simples mas bonitos, lembrando bastante jogos mais antigos. É certeza de diversão, seja jogando contra inimigos aleatórios online, ou com um grupo de amigos. Vale totalmente a pena esse jogo. Assista a gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUHV4FM7Btk

I have never hated a game so well, it is beatifully annoying and hits me in all the correct nerves to piss me off. I had a blast raging at this game that I hate to love. You will enjoy all the time you spend playing this, till you eventually spike a controller through a wall. 98/100 The_DragonKingGamer "I hate my life now, but at least the journey to depression was fun." Seriously though I do love this game, and I recommend it to all player, pro and casual. You'll have a blast and it's great with friends. Developers are responsive and content is unique and enjoyable. The maps detail and sillyness make it a game I can play everyday. Thanks for this gem, have a good one! ^^

Now after putting more than 115 hours into this game, I shall update my review. I'm also one of the best players in the game, so I shall also base my review upon that aswell. This game on itself is really well executed, it takes party/couch games to a more competitive play. Although this is also enjoyed on your own, playing with other people is also amazing. so I'm happy there is a discord for this game, so you can talk with other players who have the game. Pros: - Controlls are smooth, and easy to learn - The community around Lupinball is great - Game setup is easy and you're able to join in a game really fast - The developers are active, if you have a bug you can message them - It's quite easy to become somewhat good at this game, Even though I'm nearly the best player I get wiped every so often - the game is nearly bug free Cons: - Peer to Peer can sometimes mess up the gameplay, but most of the time the servers run good To summerise this, this game is well worth the €10, it gets a sollid 10/10 from me. even if you are considering to buy this game Do it! Take part in the community that are the Lupin-ballers, the game's controlls and gameplay are smooth and easy. So as I said I put more than 115 hours in the game, because this is the first game ever that I really wanted to become good at. And look at me now, professional Lupinball player. and like I also said I still get my butt kicked sometimes. Now let me end this with a message to the developers Micheal Ventnor and Christopher Stritch: "Thank you, for making a game that allowed me to talk with a community and play a game I love, when I first saw this game I wanted to play it, even before release, and still when I'm outside or at school I want to return home to play this game. So from the bottom of my heart, Thank you for making this game <3"

This game is really fun because it just has that PAZAZ. I reccomend. BUY IT!

Fun, fast paced gameplay. But throughtout the time that I played I could not find one online player.
