Square off against friends in a fantasy sport that infuses the action of soccer with martial arts. Unleash a whirlwind of kicks, punches, and magical abilities to take out the opposing team and boot the ball downfield. Score points by overpowering or outmaneuvering rival defenders and send the ball crashing into one of the gigantic bells at either end of the stadium.

KungFu Kickball makes use of minimalistic controls to create an accessible yet competitive experience. Matches are fast-paced tug-of-war-style showdowns where players switch between offensive strikes and defensive stands at the drop of a hat -- or the ring of a bell. And with six stages and three player classes to choose between, every match takes on its own character.

Featuring local and online 1v1 and 2v2 multiplayer, KungFu Kickball allows for rivalries to form on the couch or over the Internet. Challenge friends, foes, and strangers alike to see which side can pull off the best maneuvers and ultimately determine who is the KungFu Kickball master.

KungFu Kickball strikes from the shadows and launches on Steam Early Access for PC and Mac on April 13, 2021.

“KungFu Kickball blends the best elements of competitive experiences together with creative glee,” said Ben Lee, co-founder, Blowfish Studios. “We’re thrilled to introduce the world to KungFu Kickball today with its Steam Early Access launch on April 13. Let the games begin!”

“The v1.0 release of KungFu Kickball is expected to gain many more features - we plan to expand the overall scope of the offline game modes through additional difficulty modes in Arcade Mode and more unlockable characters for you to play against both offline and online. Not only that but we’ll be looking at further enhancing the online gameplay experience, ensuring that it’s stable and smooth for as many players as possible. Alongside the console launch of the game we are implementing cross-play with Steam, ensuring that all players regardless of platform can enjoy more competitive matches together.”
