Powerball is a mod for OpenArena. It changes the gameplay into something a little like an arcade game mixed with an RPG. Powerups are removed with the game, and players no longer drop weapons when they are fragged. Instead, players drop “Powerballs”: a special kind of item, giving the player who picks them up weapons, ammunition, and “powers” (short-term, stackable powerups). Active powers drain health from players. If the player has five (5) or less health, they can not have any active powers; grab some health first. Players each have a “level”, which starts at zero (0); they can raise this by picking up Powerballs. Higher level players get more ammunition and longer lasting powers. Powerballs dropped by higher level players give more of a level boost than lower level players. In addition to these other changes, Powerball changes all but three of the original weapons.
