DESCRIPTION:
New gameplay mode: Hydroball. Compete against other players
in an underwater game. Fists will be your only weapon while in the arena, and alt
fire while holding a direction will allow you to tackle or side-burst. While in
the arena, your health will always be full - when you take damage, use force
power, do a special move (including tackles), or move while carrying the ball,
your stamina will drain. While in posession of the ball you cannot use tackle
moves, and primary fire will charge the ball to throw (the longer the charge,
the further it goes, up to 4 seconds) instead of punching.  Great music included.

You should end up with a folder under your gamedata folder named "hydroball".
Start the game, go to the mod menu under setup, and activate the Hydroball mod.
