    The next game that I'll be playing is Dodgeball Academia! ngl I know a little bit about this game, from what I've heard it's an RPG with dodgeball as the theme! That's about all I know, but the art style on the cover art looks really cool! The concept is intriguing, so I'm excited to jump in!

    I played Dodgeball Academia! The game took around 13 hours to beat. This was an awesome game! The gameplay was a ton of fun, and the dodgeball theme was unique! The game also had a chill story with a cool cast of characters, and the art style was bright and colorful! It was a blast to play through!

    In terms of the vibe of Dodgeball Academia, it's pretty chill! The game revolves around a dodgeball school, it's pretty lighthearted and doesn't take itself too seriously! The game has a bumping OST as well, and I really like the art style, it's colorful and looks super cool! It's an awesome vibe!

    I love the dialogue segments in Dodgeball Academia! The game has no spoken dialogue, but does a fantastic job of presenting the dialogue using audio and visual effects! My favorite is when a character yells, the screen shakes with a punchy sound effect! They're super entertaining dialogue segments!

    My first impressions of Dodgeball Academia are: it's super cool! The game is an RPG with a dodgeball theme, it's really unique! The battles take place in real-time, and characters are able to use abilities and counter incoming balls! Some matches have a ton of action on screen, it's fun so far!

    Another amazing 2D Zelda-like from the developers of the criminally overlooked Dodgeball Academia I can not stress how well designed the levels are in this. They get so much game out of very simple to use and understand mechanics. I'm having a blast

    Game 145: Dodgeball Academia A very funny and lighthearted RPG, where traditional combat is ditched in favor of dodgeball matches, this one feels like a playable animated show, with its fantastic presentation, huge cast of colorful characters and quirky, yet endearing plot. VAI BRASIL!

    Been playing Dodgeball Academia. Had my eyes on it for a bit. Very charming cartoony style; really feels like it could have been a show on Cartoon Network. A dodgeball action rpg is an interesting idea, though I did find it a bit repetitive and frustrating at times. Still had a lot of fun with it.

    Ori is probably the game I'm most looking forward to playing; it just looks so good. As a Brazilian and a fan of Dodgeball Academia, I'm legally obligated to play Pipistrello (and I also really want to). And Anno grabbed me based on its art style, but I don't know much about it beyond that 😅

    6) Dodgeball Academia Now THIS is my jam. It's (so far) fairly simple, but plays great, is charmingly funny and has that Yu-Gi-Oh vibe (in that a random game is somehow the most important thing in the world ever). Slowly falling in love with this.

    70. Dodgeball Academia (2021) This game is exactly what it looks like: a battle school shonen pastiche with dodgeball battles. I liked the equipment and combat mechanics but never felt inclined to play as any character other than the protagonist, whose super move only gets more and more applicable.

    This reminds me that Dodgeball Academia has a feature where you can assign a button to switch between two languages at any time, which is a super cool idea for learning. :) (it's also a delightful game in general, but I heard the Japanese translation might be iffy? Can't confirm myself, though.)
