BaboViolent 2 is a freeware game developed by the cool Canadian crew that makes up RndLabs. The game was released upon the world in October 2006 as a test of a network library. However, the fact that it was simply a test didn't deter the crowd that flocked to play it.
BV2 is a top down shooter where you control a "Babo," a red or blue orb that rolls around the screen with one of six weapons attached to it. The intuitive keyboard + mouse interface helps you get into the thick of the action as quick as possible. It's as simple as joining one of the many active servers and hitting 'F'. You are immediately dropped into the action and start tossing grenades and molotov cocktails at anything that moves while firing to stay alive.
The success of the game is due in large part to its very easy and immersive gameplay. However, game balance should also receive its due credit for the game's popularity. Damage settings, weapon ranges, firing rates, and medkits have all been tweaked to provide wonderful balance. There is no killer combination that runs the show... anyone and everyone is a contender with whatever weapon they choose to master.
What really sets people above the rest in BV2 isn't the ability to kill but the ability to stay alive.
