Since they explicitly don't support mobile devices, it would be good if the website included at least a brief recording showing what the gameplay is like.
I loved slime volleyball (and all the offshoots, like slime water polo, tennis, etc) back in the day!
This version is more cutesy but definitely captures the magic of those original games.
The originals were all java applets. I have the class files for them and always wanted to get around to finding a JS emulator so that I could host them on my personal site again. If anyone has some recommendations please comment!
This is really great. I love the amount of interaction you can have once you realize you can jump over to the other side, and stand on your opponent's head, etc.
I also really like the beginning: the bouncing ball that continues to bounce as you slowly work out that space is jump and WASD are movement.
Wowww this is amazing. I've made a few remakes of slime basketball and am planning to do another one, especially with AI coding now being a thing. This is really nice, well done!

Since it has a dedicated site and a Discord, I assume there are plans to implement PvP multiplayer.
And thanks for supporting Firefox!

I think the original authors were a bunch of Uni students from New Zealand so that might explain cricket.

A long time ago, I made a clone of the same game for the Ti83+ :)
