If you're looking for a fun Mac, Windows or Linux game to play this weekend, check out Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball from 82 Apps.

Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball is a futuristic first person shooter that's what would happen to Dodgeball in the Tron world. What's more, it's on sale right now for $11.99.

Unicycle-style robots populate chambers equipped with ramps, walls and obstacles, lobbing explosive dodgeballs. Catch them when they're thrown at you and eliminate your opponent; pick up a ball and hit your opponent and score.

The game sports a variety of different play modes, including Capture the Flag, Elimination, Hoops and Grand Prix, along with power-ups that give you new abilities like jet packs, pogo jumps, laser balls and more. There's cross-platform multiplayer support too.

Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball reminds me a lot of the fun I've had playing Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament. It's a tremendous amount of fun. Mac laptop and Magic Trackpad gamers, you're going to need a multi-button mouse unless you're a much more skilled trackpad gamer than me.

Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball was released in early 2014 as Steam Early Access release, but now it's available as a general download. And with Mac system requirements going back to Snow Leopard, chances are your Mac can run it.
