Ultra Space Battle Brawl (USBB) competitive local multiplayer party game

In a retro art style heavily influenced by Indonesian culture in look and sound. A mashup of Street Fighter and Pong on steroids, in USBB you challenge your friends in a frantic battle fighting with a “Pong” ball, which must be hit at an angle to avoid your opponent and destroy the diamond located on the opposite side of the screen - behind said opponent who is moving frantically to block your efforts. It’s easy to pick up and play, but hard to master and could contribute to a fair amount of animosity amongst your friends.

Featuring a strong 80s arcade vybe, USBB has retro graphics and character art, with a “funkot” soundtrack, which is a mix of dangdut (Indonesian folk) and house music.
