“Could be the next big thing if handled correctly. It plays smoothly, Its especially fun when learning when to tackle, shoot and even use a ability at the perfect moment. Intercepting a goal is the best feeling in the…”
“Pros: Extremely fun, fast paced game. Champion abilities are unique, satisfying, but their cooldowns prevent them from being a huge match decider (which is a good thing). Focus is on passing, positioning, dodging, and…”

“Before you judge the negative reviews look at their play time, game has a learning curve and sub 1 hour players lose and decide the game is bad. Give the game some time and love and you'll be winning and dominating in…”

“Considering at this point the game is free to play. Pro's - Fun skill based 3v3 game - Matchmaking (in Europe) is pretty fast - Low Ping - Game runs very smooth (above average computer) Con's - Limited choice of…”
“[b] After 4 Hours of playtime [/b]with little to no idle time, I can firmly recommend this game to those who enjoy tight competition and blitz-like gameplay. I have only ever seen one player quit, and I've only had one…”
“The game is good. I feel like a lot of the negitive reviews are a bit harsh since the devs are(so far) doing a good job at listening. Queues are fast, the action is intense and the characters seem well balanced. Yes it…”

“Super fun, -Gameplay is unique, not clunky, and fast making for some really fun moments. -Visuals are ok, looks like rocket league. The problem is the insane amount of currency it takes to buy anything from the shop.”
“Pros: - Easy to Learn Tough to Master - The abilities of characters add a fun dynamic to the game that both disrupts a play but does not make it feel as though once you are impacted by an ability you are totally out of…”

“F2P completely based on team tactics between strangers, AFK players and trolls, letting you play against experienced players since lvl 1. What could possibly go wrong?”

“The game is decent but has a few bugs. The devs are completely unprofessional so i recommend not giving them any of your money because your account can be taken from you. My buddy was permanently banned based on 1…”

“Very much looking forward to seeing this one fleshed out. Fast, Frantic and Fun!! Reminds me of speedball from back in the day. Yes I am that old”
— a player, Steam review · 11 hrs played“Quite fun. I enjoy it. PLEASE: do something about ragequitters, there's nothing happening if this occurs - even 0 vs. 3 players are possible now. At least, instantly replace the players by bots and punish every quitter with a 24h ban. That will help for sure.”
— a player, Steam review · 7 hrs played“Good game .. BUT if you stomp the enemy, everyone ragequits and you get 0 XP or anything. So dont commend it at this moment.”
