Oddballs is the game project from the Diploma of Interactive Gaming developed in just eight weeks. Oddballs is a multi-player game in which four racers compete by racing inside balls across a series of dangerous courses occupied by obstacles in the hopes that they will win races and obtain the fastest time for each track. Up to four players can take control of a ball each, while the remaining balls are controlled by artificial intelligence. The game has a console feel through the use of Xbox360 controllers. "Roll as fast as you can... but not off the edge!"
