This is an unfinished/buggy Pong-like beach volleyball simulator (not quite a game).
Note: If you're here because I commented on your game, do not bother playing this. Seriously. It's not worth anyone's time to comment/rate. I posted it just to have a record of having participated.
My original idea was to make a dungeon defense game where you protect a defenseless king/queen by placing traps, but it failed to come together and I abandoned it at the end of the first day of the jam.
Day 2, I switched gears and started making a game where sports fans inside a stadium have to keep a beach ball in the air. That didn't work out either. Among other reasons, I spent too long trying to make a pseudo-3D effect where the ball appears to go up toward the the top-down camera (along the non-existent Z-axis, since it is a 2D game). It really needed to be a 3D game, but I don't know how to make those yet.
I still wanted to salvage something out of this mess, and so I was left with this: a reduced form of the stadium idea. The best I can say is that it was a good learning experience, with me being new to game jams and these development tools.
