Gameplay
The game has been described as "an inverted version of Pong",[3] in which players divert a "deadly chainsaw-bladed burster ball" with a paddle towards other players' platforms, which are made of balloons. Each player is armed with a bat which can be used to deflect the ball away from their balloons and towards their opponents.[4] There are also a host of power-ups that affect gameplay. The XBLA version uses ReplicaNet for online play.[5]
AirBurst Extreme
An enhanced version was released in 2004 for Mac OS X as Airburst Extreme. There are four playable characters, and six additional characters (four new protagonists and two new antagonists) in Airburst Extreme.
In other media
On July 27, 2014, an animated short named AirBurst: The Soda of Doom screened at the San Diego Children's Film Festival at San Diego Comic-Con and featured characters from the games AirBurst and AirBurst: Extreme.[6][7]
