Skateball is a violent futuristic sport, part ice skating, part soccer. A match is played by two teams of three players each, one of them a goalkeeper, on an ice court with steel walls, and a single ball. The objective of Skateball is to score five goals or kill the three players of the opposite team. To achieve this, there are no rules and any kind of contact is allowed. There are several different courts with holes and other lethal obstacles.

The game can be played in single player vs. the computer, or two players against each other.
