The game uses a side-view court where players control a team in dodgeball matches against rival national squads. Core actions include movement, catching, passing, standard throws, and powered special shots. Hitting opponents drains their health and creates elimination pressure, while positioning and timing are essential for both offense and defense. Opponents become tougher as matches progress, demanding better reactions and smarter targeting.

USA Team

The primary team controlled by the player in the arcade version, offering a fairly balanced play style for beginners.

International Teams

Opponent squads representing different countries, each with distinct pacing, positioning, and throwing patterns.

Focus on learning catch timing before relying on aggressive offense. Staying at mid-range gives more time to react to hard throws and creates safer counterattack opportunities. On offense, use passes to disrupt the enemy formation, then target weakened players with jump throws or powered shots to gain a numbers advantage quickly.
