Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball is a fantasy dodgeball sports game developed by Blazing Lizard and published by Gamecock for Xbox Live Arcade and SouthPeak Games for the Wii.[2] The game was released on September 3, 2008 for Xbox Live Arcade,[1] while the Wii version was released on May 12, 2009.[2]
Overview
The game is inspired by the popular internet meme Pirates versus Ninjas.[3] It is played between various oddball groups, including the eponymous Pirate and Ninja teams, as well as other teams like the zombies and robots. Players on each team behave stereotypically, e.g., zombies are slow and defensive.
Gameplay
Players have a limited reserve of energy to use when playing, and all activity drains energy, including running and throwing. Each group has a unique set of powers, such as cloaking, which drains energy even faster. Players can regain energy by various actions, such as successfully catching a thrown ball.
The ball can be thrown in several ways. Throwing the ball while running causes the ball to move in the direction faced. Throwing the ball while standing still allows a 360 degree aim, with better tracking. Throwing the ball while jumping increases the force at which the ball hits.
