Dodge Ball

Weave through a storm of bouncing balls, bait your rivals into whiffing, and nail the last one standing with a rocket throw.

Dodge Ball keeps things brutally simple—move with arrow keys, grab a ball when it rolls near you, and click to launch it at an opponent. You're on a small court with three or four other players, all of whom want you out. The ball physics feel floaty but predictable once you get the hang of the bounce. A direct hit eliminates a target. A caught throw eliminates the thrower. That risk-reward loop turns every round into a game of chicken: do you charge the ball, or hang back and bait a throw? I'll admit I spent my first few rounds just surviving, circling the edges like a scared kid at a schoolyard game. Then something clicked—if you stand just behind the center line, the AI tends to overcommit. They throw, miss, and the ball rebounds right into your hands. Catch, throw, they're gone. It's not fancy, but it works. The game runs smooth in any browser, no download needed, and the difficulty ramps up nicely as opponents get faster and start faking throws. There's no timer, so you can play a quick match or grind for a flawless win. If you like reflex-based sports games with arcade energy, this one scratches the itch.

Mouse,Click,Arrows

Catching a ball is riskier than dodging, but it instantly removes the thrower—time your click right when the ball glows. Hug the walls when outnumbered; the AI tends to cluster in the middle and peg each other. After a missed throw, the ball bounces back predictably—run to its landing spot before your rivals. Don't hold the ball too long; the game punishes camping with a faster AI rush. Use the arrow keys for short strafing taps, not long runs—you change direction faster.
