Videoball seems so simple you’d think it had effortlessly popped into existence. You play as one of two teams of triangles, and you shoot out triangles in order to hit a ball into the other side’s goal. Despite that, Videoball has taken two years of refinement until it’s hit this final release, and prototypes of it have been around since 2013. And for those tuned to the minute aspects of design, the work put into it shows. It’s in the ripple of the stage as balls bound off its borders, the fighting game-esque hit pause that occurs on contact, the timing needed to get off each shot. That’s the kind of ludicrous tuning that you get after two years of filing down the edges.

After a lengthy gourmet meal at McDonalds we decided to swing over to Bit Bash’s Cool Jazz to indulge ourselves into the wonderful world of indie gaming. It was held at the Bottom Lounge. Despite the cramped surroundings, the atmosphere was very relaxed and upbeat. Realizing there were more than just overpriced drinks here, we decided to talk about games.
