Key features
Multiple balls in play changes the shape of the whole sport
Standard football games are one-ball games, which means position is mostly about being near the ball. Beetleball puts several dungballs on the field and requires you to merge them into a golden ball to score, so a team has to decide between contesting and building. That single rule is what stops it collapsing into a scrum.
Fourteen classes defined by movement, not statistics
The Tiger Beetle teleports from ball to ball. The Fungus Beetle builds mushroom launchpads. The Cyborg Beetle snipes ladybugs out of the air. These are traversal and control tools rather than damage numbers, which means a team composition is a plan for how to move around a map, not a damage spreadsheet.
Momentum-based movement with proximity voice chat
Movement carries momentum, so a badly timed turn costs you the play. Proximity voice chat is built in, which is the correct choice for a game where the interesting failure is two teammates going for the same ball.
