A very simple game of (beach)volleyball.
- You look from a 3/4 view (near isometric)
- There’s a net and two teams on either side.
- Players are just circles (“balloons”).
- Simply hit the ball to bounce it back. (Physics engine takes care of all this.)
- At most X bounces are allowed before it has to move to the other side.
- If it ever hits the floor, the opponent gets a point.
Players are heavy, the ball is light, that’s how you can get it to bounce off of your head quite rapidly. (Because F = ma. The same force will cause a greater acceleration in the lower mass ball.)
You can walk around and jump, of course. But by holding the jump button you can start floating like a balloon. That’s where the name of this idea comes from.
- This approximates the idea of boosting from Rocket League, allowing more freedom in the air and more plays.
- But it is much simpler and more restrained, suitable for a simple party game for everyone.
