Blobby Volley 2.0.2

I've just released a new beta version of Blobby Volley. To play it on your phone or tablet, join the Blobby Volley Beta Testes Group on Google+ and then activate testing, if you haven't done it already. This time, I published a web version too. It will be available on Gamebucket for 30 days. You can see it here.

Here's what's new:

  • you can control the player with left/right arrows or an accelerometer
  • there's a simple menu in which you can choose your controls
  • player-ball collisions are disabled when the ball is waiting to be respawned
  • the ball's bounciness is reduced when it hits the ground, so it comes to a stop faster
  • there are sounds when the ball is hit or when a point is scored
  • there's an arrow indicator when the ball is out of screen
  • consecutive ball touches are limited to three
  • game start events are tracked using Unity Analytics
  • there are player walking and jumping animations
  • some bugs are fixed now
What's coming next:
  • gameplay improvements
  • counting points
  • AI
  • ads
Remember that you can always see what I'm working on if you go to the Trello board.
The new changes took me 16h 20 min to add, which makes a total of 37h worked on the game so far.

I'm hoping to have an AI working next time, so make sure not to miss the new updates. I can't wait to test it on all of you. Do you think you'll be able to beat it? We'll see...
