Show HN: PixiBall – WebGPU Browser Multiplayer Soccer Game

2 NBKMistik 0 6/6/2025, 8:18:30 PM pixiball.com ↗

I built a browser-based multiplayer soccer game called PixiBall, inspired by Haxball. It’s fully real-time and uses PixiJS v8 for rendering along with WebGPU to test performance in a real-world setting. Networking is handled with WebRTC, and the whole thing runs entirely in the browser with no installs.

You can try it here: https://www.pixiball.com

This was originally a side project to test the capabilities of our custom game engine, but it evolved into a working multiplayer game. Still early in development, but functional and fun — supports custom rooms and smooth physics.

Feedback from a technical or gameplay perspective is very welcome. (We also want to thank Basro and Haxball — their work inspired this.)
