Battle Ball

Battle Ball launched as a free-to-play multiplayer dodgeball game on March 12, 2021. Following launch, the solo developer at Dad Hat Games pushed a series of quick patches through April 2021: a v1.1 update on March 21 adding single-player mode, private matches, and new cosmetics; a bug fix on March 25; a v1.2 patch on March 29 adding lobby force-start and additional fixes; and a final feature patch on April 17 adding an in-game scoreboard and regional player counts. After that April 17, 2021 post, there have been no further developer communications of any kind. The store description itself signals the developer's focus has shifted, noting they are "looking forward to creating more projects" — language that implies Battle Ball is a completed work rather than an ongoing one. With no updates, announcements, or developer activity since April 2021, and no unreleased DLC or announced future content, the game appears to have shipped as a finished product and reached its final state with the April 17, 2021 patch.
