SpiritSphere DX

The Gameboy-Zelda graphics attracted me to this game, but it's actually really fun too! The game is basically air-hockey with much deeper mechanics - stages transform, you can collect and use power up items, and each player has different moves for hitting the ball. It's in Early Access, so there's not a lot of content yet, but what's there works well and it looks like a lot more stuff is coming soon, so I'm looking forward to it. There's already a lot of variety in the different playable characters, balls, and stages - they all change the style of gameplay a lot, and things can get pretty frantic. Overall this is a fun game to play with a friend on the couch, and I hope over time it becomes something amazing. (looking forward to the upcoming 4-player mode!)

Very fun game for local coop and dev has been responsive about fixing bugs and fixing broken achievements.

The animations and graphics chop, skip, and lag way too severely when playing it in the Proton compatibility tool for it to be playable.

It is a small but fun game. It has nice Legend of Zelda (SNES) stile pixel graphics and good animations. Playing multiplayer is best with 2 controllers. If you like playing local multiplayer games try this! It is quite different to other games and easy to learn (movement+3 buttons simple rules) but quite hard to master. (Timing trickshots, tricking opponent etc.) There are not that many different levels (or characters) yet, but the difference in playing with the characters and agaisnt them are quite big! The same is true for the stages, since they can change the way you play drastically!

This game is pretty fun! especially against someone you want get intimate with because you will criss coss handy dandy till you guys are mad at each other and some one says fk this game 10/10 and storms off

I feel the Windjammers comparison doesn't do this game justice. The base gameplay is much closer to that Super Famicom hidden gem, Sanrio World Smash Ball. In that game, you picked one of four Sanrio characters (sans Hello Kitty, who instead acts as referee) and hit a discus back and forth with your opponent across a vertical playing field. The goal was to get the disc into your opponent's playing field, while keeping it away from your own. That's essentially what this game does, but with a Game Boy-era Zelda aesthetic. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't mention everything else this game has to offer. Sure, there are basic two-to-four-player matches and a decent arcade-style campaign mode, but SpiritSphere DX has new campaign modes that set it apart from the competition. Squash Mode, for example, is a two-player racquetball clone, where you trade off hitting a ball against a wall. If you touch the ball when it's not your turn or let the ball touch the wall behind you when it is ...

This game is so fun for local multiplayer! It's like a crazy retro-styled air hockey!

It's rad.

I think the game is great, and it's fun to play with friends. I see 2 problems with it: 1. The easy AI are too easy compared to the normal AI which is difficult to play against when starting out.

Edit: I've tried this game out recently with several controllers playing local coop. It was a blast. This game, much like towerfall, shouldn't be played solo. If you have controllers and a few friends to play with this is a great couch co-op game. If you were looking for something to play solo / online, this is not that. Easy enough rules / button configurations that my wife (who does not like video games) could play with me; and even she had a good time. Original review: I really wanted to like this game. The art style is cool, and it looked like a lot of fun. It's not fun, unfortunately. Its really frustrating, and what you see is what you get. There's not a lot of fun alternate modes, or secrets or strategies. Just play pong with a zelda/final fantasy skin. I just can't recommend this.
