Sanic Ball
AboutSanicball is a stupid, silly game that throws away complex gameplay mechanics, character progression and microtransactions in favor of pure fast. It features the all the latest dumb internet memes thrown together in a blender to form a truly europhoic circlejerking experience. This wasn't the original intention but it ended up happening anyway.
The game has been cancelled and will no longer be updated. However, the source code is available for free to everyone who wants to use it. Click here to download the source - requires Unity Free. There are no licenses or restrictions on it, you are free to use it however you like.
This domain is also up for grabs; for a small free (to cover what I pay for it) I'll abandon it and let you use it instead for whatever you like. Send me an email for more info.
