Parent Pro-Tip

Parents should monitor multiplayer interactions, especially voice chat, to ensure a positive social environment. Given the high violence level, consider if the game's content is appropriate for your child's age and maturity. Encourage breaks after campaign levels or multiplayer matches, as the game has natural stopping points.

About this game

The spiritual successor to the massively popular freeware top-down shooter BaboViolent2, Madballs in Babo:Invasion is an arena based 3D shooter offering players a satisfying and immersive experience in both single-player and multiplayer, including 'Invasion Mode' where players are able to design their own combat maps almost instantaneously by placing a combination of map tiles to create a never-before-seen map before gameplay starts. Truly, no two games are ever the same.
