A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

We have come to an end, we do not have any funds left to maintain the game and the servers. So we sadly have to shut down the game and servers. Thanks to all of you, for the support throughout the years! - Team Hero Blocks
A very challenging map added to custom games 'SPECIAL', DUEL mode for now. Chat in-game, and some minor fixes to chats elsewhere. Added a salute to our friendly and very helpful streamers. Have fun!
Try it out!
Have fun!
After many weeks of work, I am happy to release Ranked games. Also added a chat to lobbies. Have fun!
Patch notes. - fixed main menu+locker - to match new map look better - fixed some vfx bugs - added ball trail - fixed some weapon materials - modded pong a little in visuals
Patch info. - new map added to practice, will be added to casuals if voted in - ball engine adjustments, to avoid ball not moving - new and old map optimizations
Patch notes. 1. Character color Fixed balance in colors/lighting on characters, so it looks correct everywhere (very close at least), except Pong, which is experimental. 2. Transparent name plates Also top hud. 3. Optimizations Some more optimizations and arena adjustments.
Patch info - visual updates to all arenas - several optimizations
Patch notes: 1. Optimizations Some setups will experience up to 100% better performance. 2. New practice mode, Mad Pong Great for practicing aim. Many types of Cubes with different features. Randomizing the cube wall everytime you start the game. 3. Several lighting adjustments See more, score more. Have fun!
Patch notes. 1. Overtime fix Goal Plate dissapears and any ball can enter. 2. Goalie fix When moving out of goalzone, hitbox will change instantly to normal size. 3. In game stats fix TAB key shows in game stats
Patch notes: 1. Camera It is now possible to look further downwards and the camera has been moved a little higher. Higher values in camera settings are as well expanded. Reset the camera once opening the game again. We recommend to try out FOV at 100 and distance at 8. 2. Rotational power Maximum speed of hits have been increased, however harder to achieve. 3. Ball hit detection The system has been adjusted in many ways. 4. Movement speed adjustments All classes move a little faster in upwards jetpack and using default movement. Have fun, and if any questions, feel free to join our Discord, we
A few words from the founder. A lot has happened during the journey of this ballgame. All from a failed Discord launch to splitting up the game into a shooter and a ballgame. Let me share some news about what has happened lately. I havent played games for a decade, other than random mobile games. How can I create a game then, some might ask? True, also a reason for some of the errors and wrong decisions made during the development of Mad Ball. But I had a dream, a dream to create a bat-hitting sportsgame, due to my lifelong passion for tennis. Mad Ball is really difficult at first. We made a b
We will release Mad Ball as F2P with 1 DLC March 12th, 4 PM CEST. US server has been added. We look forward to play some ball!
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36602250/5b48f0a8a49b7694a2a24b18062d3880be2b8ac6.jpg We have managed a way forward and we can soon open access for some ballgames again. The setup will be F2P with 1 DLC, this to allow an option for support, so we can add more servers in more regions. After many iterations of map and gameplay design, we went back to basics and now working on a new map with bigger classical goals, wip screenshot attached. Regards Empress
