PUCKVPUCK

Update 0.3.0 — Goal Explosions (and a lot more)

StormRainbow Gaming

GOAL EXPLOSIONS

Score, and your goal goes off in style. Pick yours in CUSTOMIZE → GOAL FX, with a live preview. Online, everyone sees the scorer's explosion.

  • Free: CLASSIC and CONFETTI
  • Earned in CHALLENGES: STORM (Hat Trick), CANNONS (Champion), DUCKS (Veteran)
  • Goal Explosion Pack — coming soon: ABDUCTED, JACKPOT, ZOOMIES

PLAY NOW

One press from the main menu: pick SOCCER, DODGEBALL or SHOOTER and you're playing the CPU.

SOCCER

  • New map: REVOLVE — the middle of the pitch is a turning wheel that carries pucks and curves the ball
  • Pucks bump apart on contact instead of getting stuck together
  • Keepers come out when there's no threat — park in your own goal too long and you get nudged out
  • After a goal it's "2, 1, GO" instead of a full countdown

DODGEBALL

  • CLASH: when two balls meet in the air, the stronger one survives — a charged throw beats a plain one, and a dead heat fuses them into one
  • Faster re-arms in small games, and a missed ball fizzles out instead of lying around
  • Courts size themselves to the number of players, and the camera always shows the whole court

SHOOTER

  • WEAPON UPGRADES: pick up the gun you're already holding to take it to II, then III — more damage, faster fire, a bigger magazine. In SOCCER WITH GUNS an upgraded gun kicks the ball harder too
  • Every weapon has its own color, and the bullet guns lose range and damage over distance, so fights come closer
  • See every hit: a flash, an HP ring that drains, and smoke when someone is about to go down
  • KING: a big crown on whoever holds it
  • The DECOY streak now really shoots

EVERYWHERE

  • A new match camera that keeps the action framed
  • A cleaner look: calmer arenas, outlined pucks, a smaller ball halo
  • A short briefing card at the start of a match: the mode, the goal and your keys
  • Fixed a rare stream of errors when a boost pickup respawned during its own pickup burst

See you in Steam Next Fest — 19–26 October!
