Barry’s Magical Escape: DigiPen Ball-Stars

Barry’s Magical Escape: DigiPen Ball-Stars Edition is a multiplayer party game based on a single minigame from the early Mario Party games (Bumper Balls). Players choose from an absolutely massive list of characters as they roll around on top of balls and try to knock each other off of stages while avoiding stage hazards and random items. The game features a collection of DigiPen characters from the vast backlog of titles in the DigiPen library. Characters brawl with each other in a bumper cars style fashion. Game is networked for up to eight players online and locally for maximum enjoyment. Created in the Unity engine.
