Ballerspiel is a fast, loud, colorful first- and third-person shooter in a comic look. Up to 64 players - plus up to 64 bots - fight across eight maps with pistols, shotguns, rocket launchers, a flamethrower, a shrink ray and, yes, an atomic bomb. Walls crumble, cars explode, and somewhere a clown is breakdancing in the rubble.
Almost everything in Ballerspiel can be shot to pieces: fences, trees, barrels, furniture, walls. Bullets leave holes, explosions tear things apart - and only the atomic bomb is big enough to flatten whole houses, leaving a radioactive cloud behind.
Morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night - and apocalypse. Clear, cloudy, fog or rain. Every map can be played in any of them.
Every weapon has its own skill level, and so do your health, armor, grenades and movement. Each level adds a little more precision, damage and blast radius. The server you play on remembers your levels.
Kill streaks are announced (in English or German), the leader wears a crown, and every clown can fart on command. One-time purchase - updates are free, and there are no in-game purchases.
