About this game

South Korean arcade beach volleyball in 2x2 format, played by boys and obviously older anime-looking girls (each team always consists of a pair of different-sex children). The background, alas, is only one, but the available space is larger than the area we see at a particular moment. The prospect of the review can be roughly described as "oblique large isometry".

Supported mode for one, two, three or four players on one computer; the role of the rest in the first three cases is assumed by the computer. In single player mode, for some reason we always act as the boy from the team in the left half of the field. Controlling the movement of the protagonist is carried out using the keys of the "WASD" block, "1" and "2" are responsible for the strikes; there is also the ability to jump, but it seems to be available only to girls.

The match consists of three fights, each of which ends after a team scored ten points. The level of difficulty, it must be admitted, is quite high: the ball flies at a decent speed and along a relatively tricky (and surprisingly realistic) trajectory, in connection with which it is required to calculate in advance the place where it will fall and quickly hit it back. The rules generally correspond to real beach volleyball: that is, for example, a ball that falls in our half of the field brings a point to the opponent, and the team that "scored" before that always serves.
