HaxBall – Multiplayer Game Ported from Flash to HTML5

HaxBall is a real-time multiplayer game that plays like football and air hockey combined. It was originally developed for Flash a few years ago, but was recently ported to HTML5. Using the Haxe Programming Language made it easy to port the Flash version to HTML5.

There are some notable features that were changed in HaxBall HTML5, such as a bigger screen/viewport size, as well as the zoom feature.

It uses WebRTC for its P2P connections between the players.

HaxBall HTML5 Gameplay

To play, you first have to choose one of the game rooms. The list of rooms shows the distance of each from your location, and it is recommended that you pick a room closer to you, to reduce lag. You can also create your own room and invite your friends to play with you.

You can move your character with WASD or arrow keys. You can kick the ball by pressing space or X. Teamwork is a must!
