Big Update - We've been listening!

If you ask the Discord old-school players they'll tell you that the devs listen to the players! We've squashed a few bugs, made some changes, and implemented a couple features.

We also added more skins for the Sports Bra and the PB Jersey! Check them out in the store. If you love Protoball the best way to support the devs and servers is to get styled out in-game! Much love and gratitude to everyone that has helped us out so far. Oh, and thanks for helping us hit Top 10 on Steam's trending list, you are awesome!

  • Fixed Join In Progress - Click Join, then CHOOSE A TEAM, and you'll spawn in properly!
  • Over-time is back - No more Draws, first to score in OT wins. You might end up in a triple-OT...
  • Removed Bots - many new players mistook the bot's movement/logic as the game being "janky" so we took them out until we can make them more friendly. They were either brutal or terrible, so we'll work on the bots and bring them back later.
  • Removed Instant Replay - Instant Replay was amazing and awesome but it was very experimental and it didn't make for a smooth game flow experience, it confused some people when it wasn't working properly and we're also removing it until we can get it perfect. Sorry for all you folks making trick videos! It'll be back soonTM we promise!
  • Dunk Mode - Removed the ability to shoot the ball in Dunk Mode. Hit F to go into dunk mode and start flipping out. Chain jumps and hitting CTRL on the ground to stay flippin' and dash into the goal for a slam dunk! More moves and animations and flips (and flip kicks?) are coming your way!
  • Grinding Adjustment - This one is a big deal to us as Grinding basically is the icing on top of all the great things Protoball is. Grinding is the way. Now it looks super ridiculously buttery smooth! Use Grinds to rotate faster and look cool as hell.
  • In-Game Music Player - Our lead dev also makes music and those jams that some of you are raving about were made by him! That horn is sick I know. You can hit P in game to bring up the music player, choose a song or playlist and hit play, then press P again to hide the player and start ballin'
  • DISABLE CHAT - There are a lot of types of human beings in the world and if you don't want to hear what someone has to say just hold CTRL and press ENTER to disable chat! Silence the trolls.
  • Join the discord! You'll find awesome people, cool plays/videos, and fun times no doubt about it.
