About Weapon Balls: Arena

Weapon Balls: Arena is a fast-paced combat game built in WebGL with Three.js. You pilot a responsive sphere armed with procedural blades, shields, tridents and maces, clashing in an electrified arena where weapon angular velocity dictates impact damage.

The core combat relies on simulated kinematics: tip speed scales damage from glancing grazes to critical strikes. Striking an enemy head-on inside their active shield arc triggers a full parry with metallic chimes and massive knockback, while finding an open flank tears straight into their health pool.

Three distinct modes test your mastery: a tactical 1v1 Duel against a reactive AI, a chaotic 4-Way Battle Royale with a shrinking electric border and dropped weapon pickups, and an epic Boss Battle against a rotating Multi-Armed Giant shielded by counter-spinning barrier plates.

Key Features & Highlights

Procedural Ball Combat

Zero pre-baked animations. Weapon swings, blade clashes, parries and arena ringouts are calculated live with deterministic momentum and angular velocity.

Three Progressive Battle Modes

Hone your parry timing in 1v1 Duels, scavenge upgraded weapons in shrinking 4-Player Royales, and shatter the armor plates of the Multi-Armed Giant Boss.

Web Audio Sound Synthesis

Crisp blade clashes, parry chimes, kinetic impact thuds and ambient synth drones generated in code without loading audio asset files.

Responsive Dual Input

Seamless support for desktop keyboard controls and on-screen virtual joysticks with tactile touch buttons for Chromebooks and tablets.

How to Play - Rules & Objectives

  1. 1Select your game mode from the main arena menu: 1v1 Duel, Battle Royale, or Boss Battle.
  2. 2Steer your ball with WASD or the virtual joystick. Your weapon orbits under rotational inertia; swing wide to build tip velocity.
  3. 3Time your approach so your weapon makes contact before your core does. Hitting a raised shield triggers a parry, bouncing both fighters apart.
  4. 4Press Space or the on-screen Dash button to surge forward with brief invulnerability to slip past enemy defenses.
  5. 5In Battle Royale, stay clear of the encroaching red border and collect weapons dropped by eliminated rivals to outlast the field.

Pro Tips & High-Score Strategies

  • Do not charge straight ahead against a heavy greatsword; circle clockwise or counter-clockwise to exploit the lag between swings.
  • Your Dash grants brief invulnerability: use it right as an opponent unleashes an overhead swing to pass cleanly through their attack arc.
  • Against the Giant Boss, do not waste stamina hitting rotating shield plates; wait for a plate to sweep past and dash directly into the exposed core.
