Nebulords is a fast paced retro-inspired local 4-player game created in 30 days for the Global Multiplayer Game Jam 2022. Catch and shoot the bouncing ball to destroy your opponent's core while defending your own. Influenced by Atari classics, the game combines the space movement and screen wrapping of Asteroids with the frenetic paddle and ball gameplay of Warlords and Breakout.
