Cyber Volleyball

Cyber Volleyball is a 2D volleyball battle game played from a side-scrolling perspective. You control characters in matches built around real-time ball physics, character progression and opponents with different behaviors and skills.

Volleyball physics

The game simulates gravity, object weight, air resistance and friction as the ball moves. Bounces, changes in speed and collisions with the court, net and players are calculated in real time. Matches use a three-hit system based on international volleyball rules, with an on-screen indicator showing the current hit count. High and low trajectory lines help you anticipate where the ball will land.

Characters and enemies

The game has over a dozen character types, each with distinct AI behavior and skills:

• Main Attacker: delivers powerful spikes and finishes head-to-head battles.
• Setter: receives and distributes passes to organize attacks.
• Middle Blocker: handles both blocking and quick attacks.
• Libero: specializes in receiving and digging.
• Hunter: pursues the ball and strikes it with great force.
• Claw: pulls the ball toward itself instantly for surprise attacks.
• Shockwave: creates a shockwave on spikes that knocks opposing players back.
• Violence: adds devastating effects to spikes.
• Ice: can briefly freeze opponents with attacks, stopping their movement.
• Eater: swallows the ball and controls its movement.
• Builder: creates obstacles in front of the net to block attacks.
• Shooter: charges up and fires the ball accurately at targeted positions.

Game modes and stages

You can learn the rules and controls in Tutorial Mode, challenge AI opponents of varying difficulty in PVE Mode, play local matches against friends in PVP Mode, or watch AI teams compete in EVE Mode. Adventure Mode takes you through multiple stages featuring increasingly powerful combinations of enemies.

Stages are browsed in pages of 28, and each can earn up to three stars. Some harder stages introduce special mechanics, such as making enemy players invisible. Star records are saved locally so you can review your progress.

Cards and progression

Character Cards let you upgrade nine attributes: Size, Defense, Jump, Speed, Strength, Reaction, Spike Range, Dig and Dash. You spend stars earned in stages on upgrades, and each point directly affects a character's performance in matches.

Item Cards add match effects. They can increase the maximum team size, remove the opponent's first-touch effect, show a prediction of the ball's landing point, add freezing effects to attacks or make the ball lighter as the hit count rises. Combining the two card types lets you customize your team.

Online multiplayer

Use the lobby to create or join public rooms and play online. Room hosts can set a password, maximum player count and visibility, or use automatic matchmaking to find opponents. Players choose positions such as Main Attacker, Middle Blocker, Setter and Libero; the game prevents duplicate positions on the same team. Once everyone is ready, the match starts, with real-time chat available for communication during play.

Settings and controls

Settings include separate volume controls for Master, BGM and SFX, a glow toggle, customizable ball-trail color gradients, keyboard remapping and mobile touch-sensitivity adjustment. Settings save automatically and can be restored to their defaults. F11 switches between fullscreen and windowed display.

You can play with a keyboard or mobile touch gestures. Keyboard controls use the arrow keys to move, Space to jump, and J, K and L for actions. On mobile, swipe direction and length determine the volleyball action.
