What is Grappleball?
Grapple Ball is all about momentum. A 1v1 or 2v2 game where your goal is to throw a ball through 1 of 3 hoops on the opposing side of the playing field.
Use your grapple hook and wall running to build up speed, which in turn affects the ball's trajectory when thrown. However, you must watch out as a collision with other players grapple line will have you drop the ball.
You can try the game on your own or with up to 4 players but there are only two teams at the moment which will be auto balanced.

My Main contribution aside from general game design was Grappleball's level.
As it is a competitive sports game my focus was on making the level as fair as possible for both sides, which is the reason that it is symmetrical. There are floating walls the player can wallrun along on either side of the wall, which allows for many different angles at the 3 goalposts. there is also a central ramp that allows for the easiest shot on your opponents goal, but equally they have the highest chance of stopping you on this route.
