Final Spike

Gameplay

Final Spike is a side-view 1-on-1 beach volleyball game. The objective is simple--score more points than your opponent to win! Players can knock the ball up with their bodies, launch it with a set, or knock it down to the ground with a blazing spike!

The final version of the game includes the following features:

• 4 playable characters
• 4 stages
• Rebindable key options
• Customizable gameplay timers, score limits, etc.

Minimum Requirements

Though there is keyboard support, the game plays best when using a controller. Currently, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One controllers are all supported.

Windows: Vista OS or newer. 32 or 64-bit should be OK. DX11 required.

Mac: 10.12 (Sierra) is recommended. Older OSes are likely not supported due to changes in Unity rendering.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Release Date?
  
  • October 1, 2018 for both PC and Mac.

• Retail price?
  • $10 USD minimum.

• Steam release?
  • Extremely unlikely.

• Console release?
  • If I get a lot of money, a decent publishing deal, and a devkit for Switch, maybe. I'd want to partner with a few other people to really push some more features in this game before considering that.

• Netplay?
  • Not likely at the moment. I'd have to refactor the game from the ground up and that would take a good few months of time I don't have because I'd be learning a lot of the networking specifics on the fly. With a proper collaborator and enough time, it might be possible, but I wouldn't count on it happening unless I do a remake somewhere down the line. That said, if you're really interested in netplay, and want a trustworthy 3rd party option, there's always Parsec.

• Additional characters?
  • Possibly. I'm the only one doing art right now and juggling that with other responsibilities is difficult.
