{"game":{"entityId":"e6d15977-0678-48b0-8af3-d9435da0c043","steamAppId":768580,"appId":768580,"name":"Witchball","type":"game","description":"Witchball  is a post-reality racing game played by children in the year 2601. Massive environmental change has made much of the world inaccessible, and long-distance travel impossible. Communities are isolated, but communication has advanced to the point where short distances between people barely exist at all.  In Witchball, two players compete in a high speed foot-race while simultaneously playing a 2D pong-like ball game on the surface of the screen. Points are gained in both aspects and tallied per lap, so it’s important -- and tricky -- to manage the space better than the opponent.   ** LOCAL MULTI-PLAYER ONLY **    FEATURES:     1v1 Competitive Racing (Two XBOX controllers recommended, keyboard works though!)    Challenging volleyball-like gameplay -- play on both you  and your opponent's  cameras!    Four different courses with varying modes, for a total of 9 Tracks    8 Different Special Abilities   ~*~   Originally used for fishing, glass buoys became associated with witches during witch-hunts in the late 1600s. Traditionally, a ‘witch ball’ is a glass orb hung in a home to ward away bad or evil spirits. The act of play, and games by extension, can function in a similar way -- kind of like a respite from the darkness. Games won’t solve any problems, and neither will a ward, but safeguards and rest are necessary parts of life and games can provide that. A game as a ward, not an escape.    Have fun!   ________________________________________  >> Made in GameMaker Studio 1.4  >> If you find yourself having framerate issues, switch to 1280x800 resolution -- very high resolutions (like retina screens) give my graphics a hard time! ________________________________________","shortDescription":"A post-reality racing game.","headerImage":"https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/768580/header.jpg?t=1715368154","genres":["Action","Indie","Racing","Sports"],"categories":["Multi-player","PvP","Shared/Split Screen PvP","Shared/Split Screen","Partial Controller Support","Remote Play Together","Family Sharing"],"platforms":["windows"],"developers":["Lawra Suits Clark"],"publishers":["Independent"],"releaseDate":"Jan 2, 2018","availability":"unknown","profileId":"steam-us-en-all-v1","price":{"amount":499,"currency":"USD","discountPercent":0},"summerGameId":null,"descriptionReference":null,"languages":"English","priceCountry":"US","isFree":false,"comingSoon":false,"parentAppId":null,"metrics":{"currentPlayers":0,"reviewCount":12,"positivePercent":83.33333333333333},"summerRating":{"count":0,"average":null,"entityId":"e6d15977-0678-48b0-8af3-d9435da0c043","revision":0,"observedAt":null,"methodology":"arithmetic-v1","distribution":[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]},"screenshots":["https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/768580/ss_71983556113fcc983ecbd81e6e3937efe4af8902.1920x1080.jpg?t=1715368154","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/768580/ss_a541a5d85d8877363e08b31eff768e8d6f06dd18.1920x1080.jpg?t=1715368154","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/768580/ss_b2a2fdec079af5fadbc562fee03eed965f1f0a10.1920x1080.jpg?t=1715368154","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/768580/ss_5e7f6f75720f9a65db27299bb4f4da13f5b9067d.1920x1080.jpg?t=1715368154","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/768580/ss_0d86d792b1605f7b54809cdd332a14b09c5c9b98.1920x1080.jpg?t=1715368154","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/768580/ss_aff91c7d276e2f33d9d58d993923602b72fd207b.1920x1080.jpg?t=1715368154","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/768580/ss_cfd0272e085856cbf377fa775ed469299dca279f.1920x1080.jpg?t=1715368154","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/768580/ss_b1acc2e7c6d8f4ff3d23e82e115114c6fd418a97.1920x1080.jpg?t=1715368154","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/768580/ss_7cbdbe8c53d1ea1909cdcffb21c69dab06f7d7c1.1920x1080.jpg?t=1715368154"],"website":null,"steamReview":{"positive":10,"negative":2,"total":12,"filters":{"language":"all","review_type":"all","purchase_type":"all","filter_offtopic_activity":0}},"provenance":{"urls":{"price":"https://store.steampowered.com/app/768580/","catalog":"https://api.steampowered.com/IStoreService/GetAppList/v1/","details":"https://store.steampowered.com/app/768580/","players":"https://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUserStats/GetNumberOfCurrentPlayers/v1/?appid=768580","reviews":"https://store.steampowered.com/appreviews/768580"},"price":"2026-09-23T07:40:24.807995+00:00","source":"steam","catalog":"2026-09-24T19:57:04.362365+00:00","country":"US","details":"2026-09-23T07:40:24.807995+00:00","players":"2026-09-23T07:40:26.05995+00:00","reviews":"2026-09-23T07:40:25.816462+00:00","language":"en","editorial":null,"membership":"store_catalog","observations":{"price":"a8b77805-61a5-4d5b-bc06-9d24083db340","catalog":"6c4bd80d-c772-453a-9ddc-103e2c94a7df","details":"deac2d25-a169-4259-8670-9d9aa7e121f3","players":"1d10b96a-31dc-42fe-a0c6-7fb8702df56e","reviews":"6b808a8a-35c7-4c2e-ace6-40d5b80c6e55"},"reviewFilters":{"language":"all","review_type":"all","purchase_type":"all","filter_offtopic_activity":0}}},"snapshot":{"import":null,"country":"US","complete":false,"coverage":{"total":251180,"nativeCount":0,"playerCount":39612,"reviewCount":64001,"enrichedCount":64001,"nativeRatedCount":0,"supplementalCount":8,"sourceCatalogCount":251172},"language":"en","revision":"7d1302ad35cbf00534f6c61376448986a4972fb554ee20e34c4a81c4a1f008a3","profileId":"steam-us-en-all-v1","reviewFilters":{"language":"all","review_type":"all","purchase_type":"all","filter_offtopic_activity":0},"projectionReady":true,"source":"Summer DB","mode":"api","fetchedAt":null,"catalogCount":251180,"enrichedCount":64001,"playersCount":39612,"reviewsCount":64001}}
