Reminded me a lot of slime volleyball and tekkenball but without the net it made things feel different! The beach background looked great!

It's awesome, it reminded me of that game called Blobby volley! I managed to beat the CPU but with 1 ball only, 3 is too hard! Great job!

Bring back local couch multiplayer! Thanks for trying the game

Pretty fun! I got my butt kicked by the CPU haha.

I've always wanted to do a co-op game for a jam, but it feels risky. Adding the CPU player was smart for solo testers.

Yeah, especially with an online jam you aren't going to get too much actual local couch multiplayer going on, but it's still fun to do! Thx for checking it out

Thanks for playing! For a simple CPU they can be a real s.o.b.

You don't find many co-op games around anymore, and for a gamejam, that's very impressive! The pixel art style is extremely appealing, and the game play is snappy and fun. Great work!

I've done co-op/local multiplayer games for in-person jams before, and it's so much fun! Adding a 2nd player is one of those rare features that usually ends up actually being easier than you think it will be. I didn't do the pixel art (you wouldn't be leaving that comment if I did lol), but I used this pack: https://crusenho.itch.io/beriesadventureseaside

The game is really nice and fun! It's a little hard to beat the NPC, but it's definitely achievable. I do think that in single-player mode, using the Space bar to jump would feel more natural. Great job!

Thx for checking it out! If I had more time I'd add keyboard rebinding. I tried to make them feel good when having 2 people crammed on the same keyboard, but it's not a very ideal way to play.
