Solo Developer ARAKI Opens Steam Page For Super Excite Ball
The store page turns a September teaser into a documented ruleset, showing how far a single developer's flipper-and-goal concept has moved toward release.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Individual developer ARAKI published the Steam store page for Super Excite Ball on September 16. The competitive action game puts four goals on the four sides of a stadium and has players use flippers to shoot balls into an opponent's goal. It supports online multiplayer for up to four players, single-player battles against CPU, and special balls and stadium gimmicks such as bumpers, spinners, and a black hole.
ARAKI's Steam page for Super Excite Ball arrived on September 16, and it answers the question the earlier teaser left open: what the match actually involves. Four goals sit on the four sides of the stadium, balls fly in one after another, and players swing left and right flippers to send them back. Aimed shots and charge shots are in, along with a rubber ball that bounces, a virus ball that gradually deducts points, and a bomb ball that blows away surrounding balls. Bumpers, spinners, and a black hole sit at the center. Items picked up by hitting them include goal shields, boosters, and score recovery, which the page frames as a route to comebacks.
