Hello DevForum, it’s been quite a while since my last post on here but I felt it was warranted to help my friend get feedback on his new game. He asked me to ask for feedback on his other bait and switch game; Funnily enough this has developed into a full scale ARG, which multiple DevForum users participating.
–Rally Ball–
Rally Ball is his new game and its based off of HaxBall and Eggball which have been slowly taking the Roblox Platform over by storm. It’s a simple 2D topdown game where a red team and a blue team shoot a white circle across a GUI Field hoping to get into the other team’s goal.
The game is 4v4 and designed to be very simple and enjoyable by many. If you have the free time, Rally Ball recently released its largest update by far with a Spain-Themed event in celebration of Spain winning the World Cup!

Okay, I’ve tried the game, and there’s a couple of things that I’d like to point out.
Gameplay was smooth, that is undeniable.
Bot players. I noticed that despite having 0 active players, there are actually some players in my team and the enemy team. (This is a good thing by the way)
UI looks… Suspiciously familiar.
There aren’t really much to do in the game besides kick ball and goalscoring. Perhaps adding more features such as finesse shot(?) where the shot might curve despite the player’s position, or maybe even upgrades on shot etc etc…
From the thumbnail and the gameplay itself, I felt like around 70-90% of the game is AI generated. Of course, feel free to debunk this statement if you’d like. I don’t have any problems with using AI as a helper, but I don’t think you should develop the game fully using AI.
Not even 5 minute in the game, it already glitched. Ball went towards the goal, and it refuses to count it as a goal. This bug persists until the end of the game.
Me personally, I don’t think games like this will hook players to play for a long time except for fun minigames and stuff. It has a good replayability, but pretty sure it’d just get boring overtime. Consider adding more gamemodes, or even a unique interface to keep the players engaged.
Pretty much that’s all I have to say about the game itself. Good luck with the project!
He said the next update will include a few gamemodes and ui interactiveness. He asked me to thank you for the feedback and he’ll tell me to tell you to try the game out again once the update launches!
Another update has been made to the Rally Ball. I recommend everyone to check it out, since my friend (reality_written) worked decently hard to cram all of the suggestions that knifemaster made to increase retention.
