Reception

Alan Emrich and Chris Lombardi reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World , and stated that "Projectyle would be just another "Rollerball" rip-off if it weren't for the flavor that is added in terms of individual players with ratings in 6 statistics, unique home fields with personalities of their own, and special effects objects that add twists to the game play."
