Virballs

In Virballs, you play as ORB, a run-of-the-mill Object Removal Bot tasked with cleaning up the mess of the invasive virball menace. The villainous mad scientist Dr. Corvid has scattered his latest fiendish creations across multiple planets, causing mayhem at every turn. To make matters worse, innocent planetary inhabitants, Floobers, are being attacked by the vicious virballs! The study of the biology of virballs is still in its infancy, but findings show that the organism shares much in common with viruses. In the field, virballs have been seen eating one another, which results in the manifestation of exotic hybrids. Don't worry about accomplishing your mission; ORB comes equipped with rocket-propelled grappler claws, small thrusters to increase his mobility, and a containment sphere for special hazardous materials. Within this containment sphere, ORB can harness the powers of the virballs to create elemental Cores that allow him to grow his arsenal and thwart Dr. Corvid's plans.

  • Collect Virballs: ORB can weaponize the unique elemental properties of the virballs — Earth, Water, Electricity, Air, Fire, and … Slime (?) — to create dozens of devastating ammunition types for his blasters.
  • Run, Jump, and Blast: Battle your way through levels packed with enemies and challenges, utilizing ORB's trusty rocket-propelled claws, blasters, thrusters, and other special abilities.
  • Bossy Balls: Defeat ultra-powerful virball bosses to unlock new Cores, which further expand ORB's arsenal with new elemental weapon combinations.
  • Help the Floobers: The loveable and innocent Floober people are in danger! Evacuate the remaining civilians from their infested planets so that they may floob another day.
