Great for your child
It offers a non-violent but highly competitive environment that rewards cleverness over raw power.

Keep voice chat limited to 'Friends Only' or 'Group Only' in the settings menu. Discuss how to handle 'taunting' from other players and remind them it's just part of the game's style.
The Connection Grade™ breakdown
Four things we grade, each one judged on what this game actually does. Open any row to see why.
Knockout City rewards direct teamwork through its pass mechanic—passing instantly overcharges a ball for your teammate—giving parent and child an immediate reason to track each other's positions rather than playing as lone wolves.
Skills this builds
- Passing back and forth to rapidly charge ball speed before ambushing an opponent
- Trusting a teammate to throw you while curled up in ball-form for an instant knockout
- Calling out flankers and incoming sniper balls across busy multi-tiered rooftops
Try this together
When one of you curls up into a ball, commit to throwing them immediately at the nearest enemy instead of holding onto them.
