Windjammers

Overview

Windjammers is an elaborated flying disc game with elements of volleyball, handball and the video game Pong. Two characters play against each other in a small closed arena delimited by a goal at each side. A net divides the field in two. Players must throw the disc into the opponent's goal and score points to win a set.

There are several ways of throwing a disc, determined by the direction the player is pulling down the lever. The disc can ricochet against the lateral walls of the arena; players can use them to confuse the opponent. Another way to score a point is the opponent failing to catch the disc, making it fall on the ground.

Each character has a special move that makes it more difficult for the opponent to catch the disc.

There are six different courts, each with its own characteristics: Beach, Lawn, Tiled, Concrete, Clay and Stadium.
