About this game
Welcome to The Cruciball
The Cruciball is a physically controlled action roguelike played by throwing balls at enemies that are projected onto a wall in the real world! You journey across many magical stages and unique environments, collecting powerful upgrades to suit your play style. Use your strength and upgrades to defeat challenging and unique boss fights! You'll solve puzzles and unlock secret stages where peril and prize await. Grow your strength with powerful upgrades, refine yourself in The Cruciball, and save your pet from the nefarious Warlock!
IMPORTANT: Requires a projector and 2 web cameras. The Cruciball is controlled by physically throwing balls in the real world at targets that are projected onto a wall using the projector. The thrown balls are then tracked by the cameras to create 'hits' in game.
Features:
9 unique stages to explore, all with their own special challenges, enemies, and boss fights to face.
11 exhilarating boss fights, and over 30 different enemies to defeat.
Over 40 unique and powerful upgrades to obtain, collect and stack them together to suit your play style and achieve ultimate power!
A fun, exciting, and challenging way to exercise and improve your health.
Balanced for both singleplayer and multiplayer.
Cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes.
Just as fun for kids birthday parties as it is for elite athletes looking to improve their skills!
An innovative physical "beyond virtual reality" game-play experience.
The Cruciball is capable of tracking multiple balls at once from multiple throwers, allowing for unlimited group fun! It uses a pair of high speed cameras to detect throws and track where the balls hits the wall. The Cruciball works best with a dedicated arcade set-up, ceiling mounted projector, and recessed cameras; but it can be brought anywhere with just a laptop, projector, and a pair of tripods for the camera. It's an amazing addition to any arcade, video bar, day-care, elite gym, or even or your own basement!

Version v1.1.0 Released!
Hello hello, everyone! I am very glad to announce that The Cruciball version v1.1.0 is officially released! Improved Animated Background Art All background environments are now fully animated and interactive. Relish the vastness of the Cosmos with orbiting planets, bask in the majesty of Opulence, survive the volcanic wasteland of the Depths, unravel the mysteries and code of the Nullspace, and ascend through the cloud-covered Hallows. These new hand-animated backgrounds are a major improvement over the old static AI-generated ones, and I’m extremely happy with how they turned out. Huge thanks to Emily Letkeman for creating the background art. Minigames The game now includes ten new minigames. These can appear between Adventure Mode levels if you grab a Minigame Star power-up, or you can select them through certain upgrades. There are 5 luck minigames and 5 skill minigames; so either gimble gamble gomble or git gud. These minigames are a great source of upgrades and a fun way to break up the tension of survival, so good luck and have fun! As a bonus in this new update, there are now also two bonus sports minigames that utilize new speed tracking algorithms, so the faster you throw the ball, the faster the in-game ball will be thrown. These are accessible from the main menu, but they will not appear in Adventure Mode. Thank you, and have fun! I hope everyone has a great time playing. If you don’t own it yet, feel free to download the free demo and try it out. You can verify and calibrate your setup through the demo before purchasing the full version. Developing The Cruciball has been a joy, and I’m excited for where it’s heading. Looking forward to the future.Read full article on Community Announcements (Tigpan)Patch NotesOfficial
Development Update
Hello everyone! I've been working hard on The Cruciball lately, and I'm thrilled to share that development is going incredibly well. I'm super excited to bring this game to the world soon! All the core features have been implemented; now, it's all about polishing and refining the experience. Honestly, it's a blast to play—I find myself setting it up and playing it for fun at least once or twice a week, and each time it's not only a great time but also a fantastic workout and training tool. My accuracy when I first started playing was around 75%, and now it’s around 85-90%. I'm really proud of how it's all coming together. What started as a passion project with just a few moving shapes on a tiny projector in my basement has transformed into a truly unique and engaging experience. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45133100/7c4421447d8d7b07723dd8cd7210b17a055d0fc4.gif Graphical Enhancements: Recently, we’ve made significant graphical upgrades to the UI and the enemy sprites. The changes to the UI, in particular, have had a huge impact on the overall look and feel of the game. We even polled the community on these changes, so if you want to be part of the development process and influence the future of The Cruciball, make sure to follow! The goal is to make the game as fun as possible, and community feedback is a necessary part of that. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45133100/3595cd87fe6a78d7d930deb42b34cffe2c99a6d5.gif Epic Boss Fight Music: One of the most exciting updates is the addition of unique boss music for each of the nine stages! The tracks are intense and perfectly themed to their respective stages, truly enhancing the atmosphere and getting you pumped for each boss fight. These amazing songs are composed and produced by the talented Ben Counsell. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45133100/3753be09daff3d3cc5903586d827aedbd292700b.gif Playtesting and Community Feedback: Getting a large number of playtesters has been challenging due to the nature of the game, but I've managed to assemble a diverse grou...Read full article on Community Announcements (Tigpan)
