Hello mod people.  As you're probably here to find out what Ballmen is, I will first provide a video.  If you like, keep reading.  Enjoy.

 


 

Ballmen is supposed to be fast and provide a lot of movement freedom, much of which is achieved with wallwalking.  Hopefully the video explained how wallwalking, the weapon system, and the pickups work.

A beta is ready and, unless something goes horribly wrong, will be available for download on Saturday. In the meantime, you can visit the mod website to find out more by reading the manual or talk on the forums.

Great mod. I never saw this mod until it had already come out, so it really took me by surprise. All that it takes is a little patience with the unique controls and physics, and it is really fun. all we need now are more people playing. there isnt always a game going, but when there is a real game, its a lot of fun.

Very Fun Game!!
All we need now is more people playing
The most I played with was 3 people and it was a blast.
Have some patience with the controls, it took me a little bit to get used to switching gravity so to speak. I didn't like setting it to auto switch since that made it really crazy sometimes. I also really like all the weapon choices and how you can just scroll thru them quickly.
Good show devs... :)

Yeah, this rank is a pleasant surprise, lets hope it can keep going this strong.

I'm hoping to have Beta 2 out in probably 2 months, but I'm not making any promises, with a bunch of issues taken care of, and hopefully around 7 new maps, to bring the total to 10 for the time being.

Hope everyone sticks around for that.
