Whoever created this game never heard of the “easy” setting. You’re supposed to make a game easy at the beginning to get the player hooked into the game, and then make it progressively harder until the player can’t beat it. By this point, the player is hooked, and will keep on playing until the game is beat.
Slime Volleyball starts out hard, and gets harder. It’s extremely frustrating, and I hate it with a passion. But I’m already hooked. This is the result of a four hour bus ride with nothing else to do. Thus, the game got the opportunity to skip over the “easy start” before luring me into the “hooked stage.”
You’re a yellow half circle (a slime), fighting other slimes. The point of the game is to bounce the ball into the computer’s side and have the computer player not be able to hit the ball (i.e. the ball hits the ground). Then you get a point. First side to 6 points wins. As the yellow player slime, I’ve beaten a white slime, red slime, and a black slime, all the while muttering at the racial irony.
However, the flashing blue and white psycho slime, who has superior speed and looks, is killing me. I just can’t beat him, no matter how much I try. I’m doomed – second best to a damned half circle.
