Ace Volleyball Prototype
A downloadable game for Windows
This game is in full production now! You can check it out here:

Play 1 game, first to 15 versus the AI with either a gamepad or keyboard.
There really isn't much in the way of 6v6 indoor volleyball games out there so I've made one! This was built in about 2 weeks and reuses assets from my beach volleyball prototype so I could pour all my time into making snappy, arcadey, and hopefully fun gameplay.
Highlights include:
- Simple controls - directional aim + one action button
- Action oriented - players auto-move, just focus on strategy and timing
- Spectator mode - watch the AI play itself! Riveting!
Give it a run, let me know what you think, and thanks for playing!

Very interesting!
The project has everything it needs to be successful!
I'm Brazilian and I miss a game that's true to volleyball. I believe this project can deliver a good experience. I'm looking forward to the launch.
Some suggestions for future improvements:
- Include plays like attacking behind the 3-meter line;
- Include time-delayed attacking plays, "china" (slow-down).
- Player customization: height, weight, positions, uniforms, accessories (knee pads), etc.
Note: The 2019 Spike Volley game had a lot of promise, but it left a lot to be desired in terms of team creation (spike management), as well as the gameplay, which was neglected.
Is there a release date? Could you share some demos as you complete certain phases of the project?
thanks! definitely check out the Steam page and the announcement trailer:

things like back row attacks and customization are already a part of the game now and there will be more offensive sets as the game progresses. Planned for 2026, not sure when yet. I probably won't be updating this page much more in the future so best to follow me on social media, youtube, discord, etc.
Incredible game. One comment I have is that it feels like the sets to the outside often leads them drifting into the court rather than hitting at the edge.
thank you! you're totally right, that's something I need to clean up with how set placements work
Great game, amazing follow up to the 2v2. Loved the difficulty of the original release, update feels quite a bit easier but maybe I've just gotten a lot better over the past few hours. (Yes, I've played this for hours. It is addicting as heck). Keep up the great work!
thank you, that's awesome that you've got that much time out of it! ya, for a prototype I figured a more forgiving experience would be best for feedback giving :D
Been following some of the updates on the twitter...any chance we're gonna get another prototype update?
nope the last update was it, but there will be a real game...
Harder than dark souls
try the update!
