About This Game
A PICO-8 sports game starring Jelpi!
Play solo or together in a mashup of tennis, volleyball, squash, and wallball where
the only rule is: two bounces on one side is a point for the other.
Controls:
The controls should all be in the game, but for those who aren't familiar with PICO-8: ESDF is used for player 2 instead of WASD so it works on many international keyboards as well as QWERTY.
I recommend that those playing with controller or you PICO-8 veterans go to 'game settings' from the pause menu to make the controls work better for controllers and z/x keys. The game is playable with just arrow keys for each player, but it may make things a little harder for some if the settings aren't changed.

Campaign Opponents ð¥ð
-Striderð¶ââ¡ï¸
Newcomer to the game, has a hard time getting shots that go way over their head
-Helið
There isn't a rule against flying, but luckily this helicoper-creature isn't too good at catching up to a quick-moving ball
-Frogð©ð¸
A dapper frog that uses his tongue for some crazy trick shots (which work about half of the time)
-Birdð¦
This opponent is actually good at flying and is not afraid to come over to your side, so well-placed aggressive shots are the way to go here
-Mimoð°
Jelpi's old friend and comrade with the same moves, gets more aggressive as the game goes on, which can be taken advantage of...
