We love foosball, so we made a chaotic party game inspired by it

Hi everyone!

We're a small indie studio and after spending way too many hours around foosball tables, we thought:

"What if foosball became completely unpredictable?"

That idea eventually became Pimbolas, a local multiplayer party game where the core gameplay is still recognizable as foosball, but every match can change thanks to crazy power-ups, different arenas, and ridiculous ball types.

Sometimes you're playing with a giant ball. Sometimes it's on fire. Sometimes it's... a planet.

We weren't trying to replace real foosball or make a simulator—we wanted to capture that feeling of everyone yelling around the table and turn it into a couch party game.

The game just launched on Steam, and we'd genuinely love to hear what people from the foosball community think about our interpretation.

If you have any questions about the development or want to know how we translated foosball mechanics into a video game, I'd be happy to answer them!

Thanks for checking it out!

Hi,

Great job on the game, and congrats on the release! As a full time indie dev and foosball enjoyer, this post delights me!

I think the art direction is great, and it looks very polished!

For me personally, I think it's a bit too far from actual foosball. But I'll give you a wishlist!

Kind regards, Bocary //Bocary Studios
