About WizzBall
Wizard Ball is a Virtual Reality team sports game for the Rift Touch and Vive where players fly on broomsticks and pass a ball between them to score goals while dodging spells. Players can use wands to stun each other at close and long range. The team with the most goals scored by the end of the round wins!
Similar games based on a popular book series about a Wizarding school have been made in the past, but only VR can really do this style of game justice! Feel the sensation of flying a broomstick, make catches and preform accurate physics based throws! A softball pitcher would make an amazing scorer - don't forget to wear your wrist straps!
Setting up a server allows you to set many variables, such as whether teams are randomly selected each round or people can select their teams, maximum players, minimum players needed before a match will start as well as set a speed multiplier if you want a faster paced game!
While the mechanics of the game are done we are considering this game to be in Beta right now as there are some additional features we want to add, as well as we would like to get player feedback as to the optimal number of players for a match and what speed of flight provides the most balanced game. One of the main planned new features is a single player tower defense style game mode for practicing your skills.

Nobody online for multiplayer and single player practice is really lame.1 found this helpful
[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] Nuetral recommendation. It's not really what I would consider good, but it's the only real Quidditch VR game we have that actually works. So if you need to get your Harry Potter on and have a group of friends then this game may be some fun. Some of you may remember the free Quidditch VR game called Broomball and this seems to me to be the exact same game, only that it actually works. See for comparison: https://store.steampowered.com/app/504630/Broomball_VR/ However, as you may have guessed, there's nobody online to play against. Playing alone against the bots is only fun for like 20 minutes. Then you'll probably never want to play again. The controls are just too janky. One of the things that was inconsistent for me was switching between your hands and your wand. Firing the wand also seemed odd and I needed to be very close to zap the enemy for whatever reason. Boosting your speed was on some kind of timer that I could never figure out. To turn you have to physically turn your body as locomotion is gaze based (press trigger/grip to move forward and/or brake). Just grabbing the Quidditch ball seemed a precarious pr…1 found this helpful
Got an itch for some quiddich? This game is currently your best option in VR, though I struggle to call it a really good game. It’s functional and runs smooth – no bugs or problems encountered. We have some Harry Potter fans in the family, and it tickled their fancy. The AI isn’t too good, the graphics and sound are functional but nothing remarkable, and good luck finding players online. With all those negatives in mind, I’d have a hard time recommending it at $10… but I got it as part of a bundle, and can’t give it a thumbs down for the price I paid. So, with that, I give it thumbs: UP!
OMG AWESOME GAME ! MUST BUY IF YOU OWN A VR HEADSET! Can recomend as one who read all garry potter books and movies, it is real quidich ! Did you ever want to feel like Hagrid on a broom ?! That game is for you !
