I picked up this game because my daughter thought it looked fun. It's a fun platformer with cute character design. My daughter and i would take turns playing. I would kill everything and she would try to jump out of the world. Fun times. The only issues I've had so far is getting stuck in place at the beginning of one of the early boss fights and turning into a ball when i didnt want to. The second one could just be my controller being old though.

About the Game
Stop Dr. Corvid's Elemental Chaos
Dr. Corvid, a mad scientist with a penchant for chaos, has unleashed his latest experiment — the Virballs, virus-like creatures that manipulate elemental forces. Now, entire planets are overrun with these mischievous entities, spreading fire, wind, and electrical havoc across the galaxy.
As ORB, an Object Removal Bot armed with rocket-powered claws, it’s up to you to track down these volatile creatures, harness their powers, and save the galaxy from Corvid’s creations before it’s too late.
Collect, Combine, and Conquer
Dive into this thrilling, action-packed platformer and stop the spread of Dr. Corvid’s chaos. Here’s what you’ll be doing in Virballs:
Capture and Combine
Grab Virballs with ORB’s grappler claws and fuse their elemental properties — Earth, Water, Fire, Electricity, Air, and Slime — into unique hybrid weapons. Experiment with more than 40 different combinations to unlock powerful new ways to battle enemies.
Fast-Paced Platformer
Run, jump, and blast through levels packed with enemies, traps, and environmental puzzles. With ORB’s trusty blasters, thrusters, and claws, you’ll conquer every obstacle in your way.
Purge the Infested Worlds
Six unique planets have been infested with Dr. Corvid’s Virballs. Each planet poses new threats and requires creative use of Virball powers to clear the infestation.

Save the Floobers
The adorable, peaceful Floobers are in danger - help the Floober King rescue his people and evacuate to their ship!
Epic Boss Battles
Challenge ultra-powerful Virball bosses to unlock new elemental Cores, expanding ORB’s arsenal and unlocking even more devastating weapon combinations.
A Growing Galactic Adventure
Begin your journey in Steam Early Access, with more planets and missions added over time. The full game, featuring all six planets, launches in early 2025!

[h1]This is a strange and adorable game![/h1] I love the [b]Floobers[/b] that are the rescue objective in some of the levels. The sound effects are spot on for the visuals and the music is epic. Boss fights get more and more intense as the spectacular boss animations grow more complicated with each world. There are many different weapons between the virball elements and the cores that are added with each world completed, and the switching menu is good at showing that matrix. The game play is smooth, supporting a run and gun or steady assault style of play. Since anything you destroy gives back health to some degree, it's possible to choose to destroy for health or to claw the tiny virballs to get more ammo of their type. Anyway, it's a solid game and well worth the price.
Clever core "Enemies are ammo" design with a lot of fun combinations and weapon choices. Worth checking out. GG!
Whimsical and fun lil 3D platformer, great fun to just kick back shoot cute little evil balls. The element-mixing system is a neat quirk and it's fun to experiment with all the combinations and find your favorite weapon. Good stuff!
Really enjoyable premise and artstyle! The game mechanics are a clear love letter to the original Kirby games, and the unlockable power-ups and enemies are very creative. I also like how the difficulty isn't too hard, but it's not a breeze either; boss challenges are hard, but fair.
Virballs is a very challenging and fun game! Highly recommended for all ages!
The balls are cute! I like the collecting aspect that is paired with the different types of ammo you can use in the game! The bosses can be pretty challenging so you definitely need to utilize the correct type of balls for each. ;)
Virballs feels like a mashup of Kirby and Ratchet & Clank—colorful, chaotic, and full of charm. The elemental combos are clever, the combat stays fresh, and the world design keeps pulling you in. Definitely worth checking out if you like creative platformers with personality.
