Super Volleyball II Turbo EX plus Alpha World Championship Edition by J B

[raw]
made by J B for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

Traditional volleyball is labour-intensive, requiring two teams of multiple players. We've disrupted this outdated sport by streamlining the team size to one person, and replacing the opposing team with inanimate objects and relentless machines. Some say the result is 'monstrous' and 'not volleyball'. They are luddites and we pay them no heed.

Can you keep the ball alive?

Interesting concept... the core game play loop is super challenging though.

I love the name as well.

Gosh this is hard (especially the low spinner), but it is satisfying.
I kind of want to be able to dash horizontally for the ball if it's too far away.

Really fun game! Love the idea, mechanic is simple and easy to get in to but very satisfying. Great job!

Cute; a little janky, but that's kind of the fun of it. Would appreciate a "difficulty setting" by changing the ball's size (which could maybe change the way it reacts to being hit or something, too). @dante2001's recommendation to juice it up is a good one, too, but you can also prolong the interest of a player by making different basic level layouts, even with just the objects you've got already.

The game is simple but I enjoyed the time playing it. The name is really good! :laughing:

The airtime keeps increasing when the game is paused, also sometimes I try to jump and instinctivly press spacebar, accidently resetting the game, besides that I like the mechanics and the idea. I too would like this as a mobile game

Not so close to a real volleyball experience, but fun to play.
