Volleyball With A Stranger
A downloadable Games for Windows
Story:
You went to a nearby volleyball park to meet your date at 2 AM, who you started talking to yesterday. To your surprise she was in fact a man, a man who claims to be a cannibal. He gives you a chance to live, beat him at a volleyball game.
Guide:
Game starts with the game being easy on you, this is the moment to learn the basics of the mechanics. I suggest try to move less. The AI aims at you directly. If you move too much, you might not land an accurate shot. When the AI has hit the ball, then you move a bit to the left or right, aim, and slap that ball to get an ace.
Win 3 out of 4 rounds, to get the better ending (probably the better one), or get the worse ending (again, better or worse can be argued).
Don't get too close to the net; he will use it as an opportunity to shoot further away from your reach. Yeah, there are no exploits to force the guy to shoot at the net.
Died again? Then cry.. or try again. („• ֊ •„)੭
And if you beat the final stage... +1 Respect from me.
(If you get softlocked for any reason, press Escape to open the respawn window.)
The game was made in 3 days for Secret Santa game jam.
If you like the game just a buck would mean a world to me :3

I suck ass at this game
Nice game enjoyed it looking forward to play more
I usually don't like commenting in games lashing out but this is outrageously bad. The horror aspect to the game is simply not there. The game is not scary whatsoever, just slightly unsettling in the beggining. Some cuts inbetween rounds with soft storytelling about the stranger would have made you actually feel more insecure about everything and maybe actually scared.
Also, the gameplay is just unbearable. Many collisions are really junky and feel unfair, specially the speed at which the stranger moves by the end. The mouse is also uncontrollable because you don't even know if you're in range of hitting the ball or not, that's even assuming you manage to put the cursor over it given you can only play at one horridly rapid mouse sensitivity. A sensitivity slider and some vidual clue that you can hit the ball (like the cursor becoming slightly bigger, for example), would make the game 1000 times better.
And before any of you call it a skill issue, here's me beating all 4 rounds:
Sorry, I actually made this in 3 days for a Jam while doing my normal job in the background, didn't had a lot of time for testing. tbh I agree with most of the points you made, I apologize for that. And I'm actually impressed you beat all 4 rounds, I didn't even knew more people were playing this one so didn't spend any more time on improvements, again, due to my job have bare minimum time, Though thank you for the feedback. I'll try to add your recommendations! Cheers!
Yeah, I figured the mistakes weren't due to a lack of experience but a lack of time/opportunity. I played your other horror game, Demono, and it was a lot better so I knew you were capable of making a better game with enough time.
Also, I re-read my original comment and wanted to say sorry if I was rude. I was most likely too frustrated because the game is hard :p
Thanks for playing!
I was lured to this park under false pretenses! I had a lot of fun and laughs with this one even though I played volleyball alone as you can see in my Gameplay:
This was a unique idea for a game, Lootera89. I don't think I've ever seen volleyball in a horror game and the dialogue was great. Awesome gameplay mechanics when it comes to the volleyball part. I know mine didn't load in, but I watched the gameplay videos from other content creators.Sorry the game broke! I made it in 3 days for the Jam had barely any time to do much of testing. If you try running it again, it might work... Thanks for playing and apologies again!
oh it’s fine and made for a unique playthrough. I bet even typing in respawn may have worked. I may go back through and actually play him in the volleyball game in the future just to close out the loop on this one.
I've updated the difficulty; it's more balanced now. Try serving far to the left or right, away from him, best of luck!
Thank you for playing!

The legend himself has chosen to comment, very interesting indeed.
