nice game, hard to handle, players look cool - environment and UI should have same style
ESC didn't work for me...
well done

I enjoyed this one. Good job!

Thanks for the positive comments :)

If you play in the browers pressing ESC will leave fullscreen, I did not think of that when assigning buttons, but just pressing ESC again should take you back to the main menu.

I did run out of time making the UI for this, which shows, and I would have wanted a bit more interesting enviroment as well.

The controls will take some time to master, largely because they are controlled by the physics, but those who played the classic "blob volley" a lot might pick it up faster.

This is pretty cool. Nice work!

Ah, the good ol' days of Blobby Volley! I got a little nostalgic on this one.

Very nice! The music is super catchy! Not entirely sure what space was supposed to do, but didn't seem to do much of anything for me, but enjoyed it all the same. Would love to try this with controllers.

@AngerFork Thanks!

While you are blocking(Left shift for left player) you can press space to shoot a force field forward. It doesnt last long, but its useful for smashing the ball when its right in front of you.

Frankly when I saw the game for the first time, I was not expecting that it can be so funny and challenging at the same time. Also theme of shapeshifting was nicely interpreted by game mechanics, cool!

blobby volley remake. always good :)

lordkawaii 2016-04-20 22:28

Run game. I unfortunately was not able to play against another person though.

darenn 2016-04-20 22:28

Cool game ! A bit hard to control ^^

mitya1234 2016-04-26 05:57

Nice game, but the ball always goes to Player 2

developtech 2016-04-26 11:19

A competitive game!

It took us a time to master the controls, I found it a little tricky but once we knew it, it was war.

Also I liked the music and the minimalistic style.

Finally, I think taht if you dont kick the ball, it always go to the right.

Congratulations, it is a funny game.

nice game, good work

Played with my girlfriend! Pretty fun, I think with some juicing it could be a great loving room game.

marvalgames 2016-05-07 21:29

Nice game.Played solo only :(
Found a spammy way to win easily. Whatever still sharp fun entry!

mintarcade 2016-05-07 21:47

Just pure fun. Thanks for building.

ddrkirbyisq 2016-05-08 05:03

Kinda fun!

The control scheme for two players on the same keyboard seems to be...not well-suited for WebGL, to put it lightly. Ctrl+W, Ctrl+D, Ctrl+S, Ctrl+Shift+W are all key combinations I really DON'T want to be hit...xP

avon 2016-05-08 05:17

Think you misunderstood controls DDRkirby, with WASD you use left shift and space, which can be done with your left hand alone. Only with the arrow keys do you use Right Shift and Right Control, which has to be done with two hands.

maekeruu 2016-05-08 05:28

had fun playing this entry :D interesting

avon 2016-05-08 05:36

@DDRKirby I just realised you ment that those were browser shortcuts, however it should be fine if you go in fullscreen.

stefvanschie 2016-05-08 09:51

I really liked seeing computers play against each other. It was fun to play. Hopefully you'll do more things with AIs in the future.

alsantour 2016-05-08 19:51

it was fun, played against the CPU, AI was random: sometimes it just sat there till the time expired, or didnt even attempt to return the ball, some other times it played like a pro.

mayank-technical 2016-05-09 11:09

Quiet catchy and fun playing it. Great CG and sound effects.

omlette-du-fromage 2016-05-09 17:04

It reminds me of another volley game, lot of fun in multiplayer. this is with a twist. Simple yet fun. Good luck!
