THIS. IS. SPREADBALL.
I'm very proud of this project as its the first video game I've ever made. I did this just for pirate software's gameJam and the theme was 'it spreads.'
So the idea for my game is that its a 1 vs 1 first person pong game essentially, You want to try to fill in (spread) as many of your opponents squares with the ball while trying to defend them doing the same to you.
If you step on a colored square, you will be slightly slowed. The movement is easy to pick up, but difficult to master. There are different many different methods of returning the ball that can each be discovered naturally.
There is a shot timer penalty. If you try to hoard the ball/s on your side of the court while up in points. The enemy's squares will start being un-colored every 5 seconds along with your points going down.
The winner is decided by whoever has the most colored squares at the end of 5 minutes or one of you has your court completely colored.
The main fun from the game comes from the movement. You can kick / dash precisely, and if you need some extra speed and distance you can combo the kick into a crouch slide.
