Clawball is a 3v3 feline soccer game inspired by Gorilla Tag. We’ve had the chance to go hands-on with the alpha build, and here’s what we thought:Following on from ARVORE’s Pixel Ripped and YUKI productions, I was pleasantly surprised to see the Brazil-based studio announce Clawball, an inventive take on arm-swinging, multiplayer soccer that feels like a mash-up of Gorilla Tag and Rocket League. As someone who’s played Rocket League for years, I was eager to get involved. Clawball is no different from soccer in that two teams compete to score the most goals by hitting a pufferfish, used as…
