Introducing Pocket Volleyball
Hello! I made this game Pocket Volleyball. I have tried to distill volleyball into the most digestible, easy-to-jump-in game possible.
In the last year+ I'm sure many of us have started new hobbies, tried new things-- one of these for me was Volleyball. I'm not very athletic but it has been a blast and I've really fallen in love with the sport. Thus, Pocket Volleyball! Really, the ideas have been brewing in my head for a few months now-- how do you boil down Volleyball into a really easy to play game? Well this is my attempt. It involved a *lot* of simplification but at the same time, the flow of the game is pretty much the same, all the moves (recieving, setting, hitting/spiking) are there. I honestly surprised myself by how much you get out of these tiny little sprites doing the motions. Your mind really fills in any missing gaps when you're working in a resolution this small.
Anyway sorry for rambling! Please play and enjoy! Gimme that sweet sweet feedback. I plan to add a 2-player VS mode, but there's room for 1000x different changes/improvements for a future (cheap but paid?) version. More game states, more animations, more sophisticated AI are all possible. Maybe this will turn into a less low-rez volleyball game? I'd also like to experiment making a "wacky" volleyball game with powerups, etc, or an RPG-ish one with different players. Could I pull off a full 6-on-6?
Anyway, give it a shot and let me know what you think!
