An Unconventional Volleyball Experience
Slappyball, a free-to-play sports game, redefines volleyball with its physics-based mechanics and anthropomorphic hands. Available on Windows, it offers players a unique gameplay experience where they control oversized hands in 3v3 matches. The game includes various modes such as Exhibition, Freeplay, and Online, allowing for both AI and multiplayer interactions. Players can execute a range of moves including normal hits, sets, and diving shots, while also utilizing the environment for strategic plays.
Customization is a key feature, enabling players to personalize their in-game hands with different colors, outfits, and accessories. However, the game is still in Early Access, which brings along connectivity issues and an aggressive monetization approach with microtransactions and a Premium version. While its quirky premise and fun mechanics are appealing, the unfinished aspects and business model may deter some players from fully embracing the experience.
