The spiritual successor to the massively popular freeware
top-down Shooter BaboViolent2, Madballs in Babo:Invasion is an arena based 3D
shooter offering players a satisfying and immersive experience in both
single-player and multiplayer, including ‘Invasion Mode’ where players are able
to design their own combat maps almost instantaneously by placing a combination
of map tiles to create a never-before-seen map before gameplay starts. Truly, no
two games are ever the same.

Featuring the recently re-released Madballs™ characters,
Oculus Orbus™ and Horn Head™, from the popular 1980’s toysbest remembered for
their outrageously bad looks and graphically colourful names, Madballs in…Babo:
Invasion is a gameplay rich, feature laden ‘casually hardcore’ action shooter
which is also that rarest of gaming commodities; a genuinely unique title.
