Extreme Volleyball Infernal League

Every millennium the great demon king Azmodean opens a rift to the mortal realm to overtake it.

The only way to save the world is by climbing the ranks of his Extreme Volleyball Infernal League! Are you game enough?

For 1 or 2 players.

Rules:

The demon imposes rules somewhat different from standard volleyball. In this league, players have 5 HP of life. When the ball touches the ground, the player on that side of the net looses life, so be careful not to miss the ball! Items are also spawned during the game to help conquer your oponent. After each round, you get bonus points for your remaining life (1000 per HP) and if your life gauge is still full, a perfect +10000 bonus. 

Items:

• Fire: Throw a fireball to your opponent
• Slow: Slows down the opponent for approx. 15 seconds
• Shields: Summon a shield for help. (Insurance for one missed ball)
• Cloud: Jump a lot higher and fall slower when jump button held.
• Sprint shoes: Run faster!
• Sticky: The ball sticks to you once! Walk up to the net and do an air jump to smash it!
• Stop: Stop and pause the ball in the air for a few moments. Use it to stop a smash or confuse your adversary! (New in V2)
• Swap directions: Temporarily swap the Left/Right buttons of your opponent (New in V2)
• Blackout: Temporarily block the view of your opponent (New in V2)

Players stats (New in V2)

Players now have stats. Jump height influences how fast the ball goes when hitting it, but keep in mind that controlling a fast ball is harder... And while it is easier to accurately position a slow player, you better be good at reading where the ball will fall to move in advance!

• Jimmy: Speed 1, Jump 3
• Yui: Speed 3, Jump 1
• Fast Nic: Speed 3, Jump 3 (new player in V2)
