Overview

Gravity Volley was a game made for the one button game jam on itch.io. The game has two gravity wells with a paddle orbiting each one and a ball traveling between the two. The player pushes the button reverse orbit of their paddles and attempt to get the highest volley score between their two paddles.

My Role

I made this game, with Unity, on my own, using open source assets. I made this game in my little spare time while in crunch at work caused by releasing two games very close to each other.

What I Learned

Firstly, I learned there's a lot of joy in creating simple things. I learned a lot about communicating to player. One of my goals was, I did not want to include an instruction page. That complicated things. Luckily, there was not too much to communicate, mostly direction of the ball, behavior of the paddles, and which gravity well is currently attracting the ball. I think I succeeded in these things, and I'd like to try to communicate more complicated things.
