This feels not-quite-fully-developed... close but not there yet.

Graphics fine, gameplay smooth... but something is missing. Simple things, like opting for a "first to 10" or "first to 20" or "endless play" game. This would add much more tension to the game - there's very little tension if the scores go on endlessly.

Perhaps a limit on the number of times a player can hit the ball before getting it over the net (it's boring watching the computer play keepy-uppy with it).

Don't let the ball come to rest on the net. Or give it a timer, so that if it gets stuck, it blows up, to the penalty of whichever player failed to get it over, or perhaps hit it last (in the case of a player bouncing it straight off their opponent's wall).

Maybe give the computer easy, medium and hard modes - that shouldn't be too hard to do, simply restricting his speed ought to be enough.

This is very close to being an excellent little game. As it is it's a fun timewaster but it seems a bit of a waste, for all the effort that went into the gameplay and graphics, not to have taken the game design a bit further.

You have a good idea here, but its not ready... not yet.

It needs a few adjustments to into script, as there are moments my character just starts moving in the wrong direction, stuck, until I slam my keys. Or the jump button doesn't respond.
So it turns into a war of attrition with the AI never having these problems. It just takes until this annoyance in control seizing for the AI to beat me.

All in all its volleyball, even the added aesthetic of it being a bomb is just that, an aesthetic. There is no timer there is no fear, except for it falling down.

This needs some tweaking, and while your AI is either broken, or its prefect, this game IS meant for two players but i must say this is Newgrounds we operate on the forever alone mentality, as such we don't have a player two, unless its an online game.

Think about that.

This game is fun, but it has some problems. Sometimes the bomb gets stuck in the middle. Sometimes the AI hits the bomb directly above him multiple times.

Decent 5 minute game to pass a few. Add a push button to push the bomb. It's pretty difficult just headbutting it.
