I’ve been floating a lot of ideas on this blog and generating a lot of good discussion, and quite a few of you find yourselves wondering:
“So … when can I try it?”
TL;DR: On Friday, you can try it.
I must emphasize that we’re still at an extremely early stage of development, and the game as you see it is going to be very rough around the edges (for example, there are already 11 bugs that I know of). If you’re hoping to see a finished, polished game, we kindly ask you to wait for the beta stage.
Currently, players are able to do the following things:
We’re currently looking for other servers to serve different parts of the world. We are aiming to get a minimum playing experience to as many people as possible!
I’m quite happy with the architecture of the game to this stage, but the #1 piece of feedback we’ve received during our limited alpha testing is improving the jitter characteristics. I’ll be spending this week working on that. Once I see some improvements there, we’ll unlock the doors and let you in to take a look! Our current target date for this is Friday, January 22.
After we open the gates, I’ll be keeping an eye on the servers. If they start going down, I’ll build a cap into them so that they will only accept a certain number of connections at one time. I don’t know what a suitable number of connections is, but I’ll find out by trial and error.
After the reveal, I will be working on adding missing features:
We are very excited to get this game in front of you, and look forward to your comments!
Good stuff looking forward to this.
CADE O HAX ARENA??????????????????????????
Where can I find my access code :(?
I am a championships organizer in haxball the Brazilian community, and we all realize when they open the haxball.com is the amount of Brazil’s largest rooms than other countries. We would like that very haxarena bring news to our country as a country of football and haxball.com greater number of members. I wonder if will have Brazilian server or any Brazilian can play without any problems with other South American or the rest of the world. I’m expecting information on the Brazilian situation to inform our community, thank you.
We have a Brazil server and will be opening it up shortly. Hopefully it will work well for our South American players. Thanks!

Hi! I’m a player from Brazil, and I’ve been playing haxball since 2011 =D
I’m sure you guys already know that Haxball is very popular in my country, but I’m not pretty sure if you ever heard about a map called “Futsal”, which in english means “Indoor Soccer”. This is an extremely competitive and funny 3×3 map with a small ball, simulating the awesomeness and speed of indoor soccer! To be honest, this is the only map I’ve been playing on the last 2 years, and I just can’t go back to classic or big! However, I think it’s not very famous overseas, you can’t even find it on haxmaps (only a few knockoffs). Thanks to this, most brazilian players stored it by the time, and I know at least 4 leagues and championships with several teams playing it.
So, finally, I was thinking of the possibility of including this map on HaxArena as a native map. I’m sure hundreds of brazilians will love it!
Thanks, and keep up with this aamazing work! =D
We are planning to have a lot of Brazilian players in HaxArena also and we have a Brazil server ready to go! I haven’t played the Futsal map but we will eventually support all Haxball maps so it should work in HaxArena as well. I do like the idea of expanding the native maps so that everyone has more to chose from without downloading maps from another website.
