Oddballers is a multiplayer party video game themed around the game of dodgeball. The game is played from the top-down perspective and loosely follows the premise of dodgeball, where two teams throw balls at each other, with the goal being to hit opposing players with the ball, or in defense, catch the ball being thrown at them. However, many new elements are added into the formula due to environmental effects and mini-games objectives that occur concurrently. Thirty different arenas across three main themes - farm, city, and island - affect the gameplay. For example, in the farm themed levels, players may have added objectives of avoiding being run over by a tractor or shearing any sheep they encounter. Another minigame involves beekeeping and obtaining and transporting honey while playing dodgeball. Progressing through matches allows the player to unlock character customization options such a appearances changes and celebration emotes through a free battle pass setup. Both local and online multiplayer is available, with four or six player multiplayer being possible depending on game mode and game platform. Cross-platform play is available for online matches between platforms.
