This is the most amount of fun with the fewest amount of game mechanics I've had since Tetris.

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!

Slime Cricket, as someone who lives in the US and knows nothing about it, was very amusing.

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.

Cute. Being able to walk into your opponent's side makes this a lot more interesting that my memory of Slime Volleyball.
The AI also has some funny emergent behavior that demands that you go over there to knock the ball out of its control.
Since it has a dedicated site and a Discord, I assume there are plans to implement PvP multiplayer.

Love the game, love the music. I'm getting unreasonably angry at my computer competitor. Well done.

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.

Wow, unexpectedly fun!
And thanks for supporting Firefox!

So much fun! Great work.
This is great! Especially that you can jump over the net.
A long time ago, I made a clone of the same game for the Ti83+ :)
