Easy to pick up, harder to master. Try playing with friends since online seems to be rough these days.

Lethal League - While the game is fundamentally a volleyball game, it's not bad.
My only gripe with the game is where you need to boost with friends in order to get the insane achievements that the devs thought would be a good idea. Other than that, great game where you go toe to toe with friends and need to react faster and faster to the projectile being lobbed on the screen.

Lethal League is amazing! The gameplay is extremely engaging, fast-paced and fluid, while also being easy to pick up and having a high skill ceiling. That combined with a cast of characters full of charm and personality, awesome visuals in general and just banger after banger in the soundtrack makes this game a must for people looking for fun couch-versus games (but it also runs perfectly online). Even though I haven't played it in a while, I don't think I'd ever refuse if a friend came up to me and asked for a match.
Basically one of the best fighting (and sports) games I've ever played.

The game in question possesses exceptional quality, and it is disheartening to observe its lack of recognition and appreciation. 10/10

This is one of the games with which I have had most fun when meeting with friends. It feels frantic and handles tension really well. Contols don't get in the way and it's really easy to learn at first.
If I could advise just one thing, it would be that players stick to a character when learning, so they can get into its specific patterns. This way, with some matches you can see growth and start really getting into the sauce: timing and prediction.

super duper fun! with a weee bit more depth, this could have been a classic!

a few years later, still super duper fun, not quite sure what was missing? maybe 3d ish? maybe smoothness (altho smooth already)? maybe polishing (would require rewriting some stuff though, although you could tell it was low budget so very efficient fun)? maybe some more space? altho it wouldnt be couch play anymore...
well, all of this to say this is probably as great as this version of an idea can be, just need people to play with you! (altho the bots can still do a great deal)
