Videoball is a minimalist sports video game by Action Button Entertainment. Players use a single analog stick and button to control a triangle that shoots charged projectiles at a ball and at other players. The objective is to move the ball into the opposing team's goal. The game descended from a dare to make a "one-button StarCraft", which later added an analog stick. Videoball is planned for release on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, but has no set release window.
Videoball plays as a two-dimensional hybrid of air hockey and soccer on a single screen. Using solely one analog stick and one button, players control triangles that shoot projectiles to knock a circular ball into the opposing team's endzone. Holding the button creates a projectile (a "unit") that fires upon release. The projectile can propel the ball, nullify other projectiles, or incapacitate opponents. The projectile charges the longer the button is held—short charges barely affect the ball, while charged shots will increasingly work like "a solid kick", or when held longer, "a slam" that can propel the ball across the full screen. If held for an additional second, the fourth level of a charged shot is "a defensive block". A charge cannot be held forever. Games last an average of four minutes, though they can last several times more.
As. You. You look at the life you're living and you fall down and CRY
And you look at the cards you're given and you don't, don't know WHY
GET UP, STAND UP, and tell them to their face
I look at the life I'm living now, and I make NO MISTAKES
Confidence beyond compare
And I'm not scared
I've come prepared
In the end
Without a doubt
You might try to shut me out
In turn I try to learn to apply
Without a doubt
You'll find what it's all about
Is life worth living?
Without a doubt
No matter how hard you TRY to justiFY
Just how the LAWS of NATURE APPLY
You'll be given LIFE ON A PLATE, but still I cannot RELATE
If I was you, I'd RATHER JUST DIE
Well, as you look at the life you're living and you fall down and cry and
You look at the cards you're given and you don't know why
You try to get up, stand up, and tell them to their face
I look at the life I'm living now, and I make no mistakes
Without a doubt
You might try to shut me out
In turn I try to learn to apply
Without a doubt
You'll find what it's all about
Is life worth living?
Without a doubt
Yeah, a prisoner in my skin
Yeah, I'm never fitting in
Without a doubt
You might try to shut me out
In turn I try to learn to apply
Without a doubt
You'll find what it's all about
Is life worth living?
Am I still breathing?
Without a doubt...
Without a doubt...
Without a doubt...
Without a doubt
Is life worth living?
Am I still breathing?
