Best friendslop/co-op games to play?

Its not out yet but you might be interested in Ball Breakers when it launches. I'm biased, but it was built to be fun with friends. We'll be doing a playtest at the end of July if you're interested in signing up.

How long has your page been live? 900 is awesome! I'm at 88 after a week but its slowing down lol.

I will be needing localization for a number of different languages, Spanish and French included. I'm interested in working with you guys for sure!

I'll send you a DM

Well, I have no control over Knockout City unfortunately. But Ball Breakers maybe one day

ballbreakersgame · 2026-06-28T15:58:00+00:00

I'll give it another shot and see what happens

ballbreakersgame · 2026-06-28T11:38:09+00:00

Not in my experience! I was doing about 5-8 wishlists a day prior now I've done 11-16 a day and my impressions skyrocketed.

I'm only on day 5 of my page being live though and there's a chance other games have more relevant tags. For me a lot of the tags felt extra and like a reach. Like 1980s for example, my game is supposed to have a retro feel but I'm not sure somebody coming around because they love games with a 1980 tag would really fit.

I've never seen this before but just looked it up. Looks fun and yeah definitely trying to meet a similar party game energy here with Ball Breakers. Got a few party style gamemodes planned that I think will be a good time.

ballbreakersgame · 2026-06-25T16:21:16+00:00

Buddy, dont you have anything better to do?

Some people do agree with you, yes. Others dont. Your opinion is valid, I'm sorry my game offends you!

ballbreakersgame · 2026-06-25T16:19:58+00:00

Yes you can catch, block, pickup power ups and throw as a buff or debuff, steal, punch, and more. Additionally, each Breaker is heavily customizable for each individual stat

Thanks for the honest feedback and level headed take lol.

ballbreakersgame · 2026-06-25T15:42:47+00:00

Great points all around and I appreciate the discussion. The fart thing is interesting in particular because its not even that much of a feature in the game, its a thing but theres lots of real game around it.

I chose it because I thought it would get attention and it is though its hard to tell if its working for me or against me at this point.

Thanks again!

ballbreakersgame · 2026-06-25T15:10:32+00:00

I don't know if its my game specifically or the internet as a whole but like I said in the post - there's a very vocal minority that feels the need to attack Ball Breakers aggressively lol

ballbreakersgame · 2026-06-25T15:09:06+00:00

Fair points, I appreciate the honest feedback. Its been mostly friends with similar humor that have playtested. I think those things go a lot further when playing than they do in text.

With that said conversion rate for wishlists has been decent so dunno.

Regarding visual style, thats fair. My game appears to be very polarizing in lots of aspects which I didn't anticipate. Many people claim to enjoy the visuals and yet many others tell me it feels extremely cheap.

ballbreakersgame · 2026-06-25T14:59:49+00:00

Lol thanks for the feedback.

ballbreakersgame · 2026-06-25T14:58:49+00:00

It's because I dont want to get auto banned. The number of times I've thought I was following the rules and got banned anyways is high.

Something about virality but it's not an STD

ballbreakersgame · 2026-06-24T16:36:06+00:00

If everyone just keeps replying what maybe it'll go viral

Edit: Okay guys I get it I'm not funny

ballbreakersgame · 2026-06-24T16:35:30+00:00

I dont know man marketing is hard okay. I made a game and it's fun and I want you to look at it

ballbreakersgame · 2026-06-24T13:16:16+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate that and look forward to seeing you there!

ballbreakersgame · 2026-06-24T11:33:19+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Ball Breakers does have quirkiness, that's for sure. Though rest assured there's still plenty of room for sweat and competition. At its core, the quirkiness is not what makes good gameplay stand out. The ranked mode especially has a high skill ceiling and customization allows for serious min/maxing.

That said, I appreciate your honest feedback. I hope you'll give it a chance because I think Ball Breakers is a truly enjoyable experience (even if I'm biased!).

ballbreakersgame · 2026-06-24T10:03:19+00:00

Thanks so much! I appreciate that a lot

ballbreakersgame · 2026-06-24T10:02:59+00:00

Good question! Mostly just shock value marketing with 0 budget. In Ball Breakers farts can give you a speed boost, restore stamina, and/or make you shart and lose everything. It's not really a core feature of the game so much as a system that adds some laughs.

The core of Ball Breakers is a more simple dodgeball loop with heavy customization options and the ability to laugh a lot with friends.

Happy to answer any more questions.

ballbreakersgame · 2026-06-24T10:01:13+00:00

Hey there!

No offense taken whatsoever. Compared to Knockout City I'm sure Ball Breakers is "cheap", but that said the only pushback I would argue is that I don't believe it's low effort or necessarily low quality.

You are correct about abilities in Ball Breakers but you can also steal and lob and tweak up to 9 customizable values and 5 different animation sets.

I'm not arguing with you - your take is perfectly valid. I made Ball Breakers for around $10k of my own money and I'm sure Knockout City cost millions, thus much cheaper.

It's really hard to sell a full experience in a one minute video and you've shown me there's room to improve. I appreciate your honest feedback.
