Description
Challenge your friends in Ball Grabbers, grab the ball better than them, and scooooore! Pick your character based on your strategy, perform Power-shots, tackle your mate to the ground, and do what you must to beat everyone until you're crowned the ultimate Ball Grabber.
Toss, dash, tackle, jump and throw the ball, but beware of all the animals, bombs, traps and whatnot!
Choose from 5 gorgeous arenas filled with detail and use their shape and quirks to your advantage! Select a character from 3 unique fighters, each with strengths of their own.
Ball Grabbers plays best with controllers, but can also be enjoyed on a single keyboard by two players - like back in the day!

User Reviews
I don't understand why some people are complaining and negatively reviewing the game, saying things like that there is no online multiplayer - it's a local multiplayer game! One person also claims he had trouble playing with 2 controllers, but I personally didn't have a problem playing the game with 2 Xbox 360 controllers.
So why am I giving it a thumbs down? Simple, it's not fun as it *could* be.
This game is a nice concept and would be actually very fun if:
- THE MAIN THING - it was easier to snatch the ball from the other player once he's holding it
- not a must to implement, but IMO when I throw a sheep or something else at the player, he should be knocked down, that would be more fun
- if there was an option to play 2 vs 2, would be even more fun
The way I see it this game has the potential to be very fun and entertaining, but its main problem is, that when a player grabs the ball he already practically won, because it is (too) hard to take the ball away from him or block his throw. It's simply a race who grabs the ball first and that's not fun at all.
More players would mean more fun also.
I'm not going to enjoy playing this game with my girlfriend the way it is now, but I'm not going to refund the game because it was just 1 EUR and because I am hopping the developer will read this and somehow make it easier to take the ball from the other player. If this was my game I would actually make every character have a different move how he takes the ball away from the opponent. But the game would already be much more fun if only it was easier to stop the opponent once he's holding the ball.
nice
fun concept.
but it's a shame only 1 person can grab your balls.
it be nice if 2 or even 6 more people can join in and grab my balls.
you know what they say, the more the merrier.
Doesn't support a second controller so one of the players is forced to play with a keyboard.
While simple, this game is was incredibly enjoyable. The physics are a little janky but playing co-op with another playing this game was fun overall.
