Overview
Description

Speedball drops you into a steel‑walled arena where two teams battle to score the most goals. The pitch measures 160 ft by 90 ft, complete with warp tunnels that teleport the ball and bounce domes that add chaotic deflections. The game launches the ball from a central automatic launcher in a random direction, demanding fast reflexes and strategic positioning as players navigate the dynamic environment to outscore the opposition.

Speedball 2 HD brings the classic 1990 cyber‑punk sport to modern PCs with high‑definition graphics and refined gameplay. It blends handball and ice‑hockey into a brutal, break‑neck paced experience for solo or multiplayer fans.
