The fact that I can play COOP and play against my friends is a + in my books. The music, sfx, and art all fit the vibe. Great Game!

Developer

Thank you! I'm surprised and happy that people are enjoying the multiplayer aspect

Great job! Pretty challenging AI, almost got me

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! The majority of my dev time was spent trying to get the AI right... I'm glad it all worked out

Submitted

Very well made game! I really liked the art. The AI crab destroyed me though

Developer

Thank you so much! The AI was honestly the hardest part. In the end I scrapped my entire initial attempt! Glad I did in the end.

Very Cool Game. It's great to have a 2 player game, and a good AI to play with alone, in a game jam submission. The art is fun and the soundtrack is nice. Great Job.

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Submitted

Creating an AI was always a challenge for me, you did it very well done! Except I demolished it by sitting on the net, but this is not a gameplay advice, do it at your own risk.

The music is quite peaceful, and the sound effects are used appropriately. I also loved the crab drawings. I'll ask my brother to play it tonight; I've already started thinking about tactics.

Thank you so much! It makes me so happy to hear that you're going to try proper two player. :D

You can climb right up to the enemy, which is very funny.

That AI is a cheeting ass crab! haha that was fun! 

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Genius design choice to allow the player to cross over into the enemy's side, makes for a surprising amount of different strategies. Also - fellow crab enjoyer I see :D

Developer

Thank you! Crabs are pretty cool, and their round heads are perfect for playing volleyball.

really cool game! laughed a lot and going on the other side to mess with people or the AI is great! haha 7-1 for the human💪🏽 haha

good job! super fun

Developer

Thank you!! There's a lot of fun ways to cheese the AI. My favorite is standing on its head so it can't move. :)

cool gameplay and nice AI, well done !

The CPU crab has been trained by the very best volleyball players personally and it still cheats! But hell yeah, this game is pretty fun <3

Developer(+2)

Thank you! Cheating is a part of crab culture. It's the expectation, not the exception!

Submitted(+1)

I think you've made the most fun game in the whole jam! I just kept laughing. Great work

Developer

Wow! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Your comments mean a lot!

Submitted

Very cool gameplay. AI plays very well!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing!

Instant nostalgia trip. 

The AI works really well, and finding out that you can jump to the other side and hold the other crab down was also fun. 

Gave me a couple of ideas too!

Developer

Thank you for playing! The cheating definitely makes it more fun.

A lovely homage to the childhood classic Blobby Volley. Thank you! What I love most is that you can "cheat" a little. The CPU crab works really well.

Developer

Thank you! I had not heard of Blobby Volley, but there was another old school flash game called Slime Volleyball that I really enjoyed as a kid, that mostly inspired this.

Never seen a 2 player jam before in a jam. The gameplay was mad fun. I know it wasnt intended but eventually I realized you could jump over the net, so I tried to abuse it. But suddenly the CPU also jumped over the net and started some hitting some crazy moves, best game I've played in this jam yet!!

Developer

I'm so glad you liked it! The AI cheating was actually quite on accident, but I liked it so much I just kept it.

Nice to see a 2 player submission. Its pretty wacky and funny to just be able to jump over the net and block the ball- or mess up and make it worse for yourself. Art and effects are wonderful, awesome submission!
