Gyrodisc Super League Launching
March 2, in the year of our Lord 2016 -- The
90s… Best remembered for the dawn of the internet civilization
and MC Hammer’s trousers… But we at Valiant Interactive remember
it differently. We recall a heyday of couch multi-player gaming
where groups of like-minded individuals could gather around a
heavily pixilated screen and scream at one another for almost no
discernable reason.
We lived in a world where plumbers really saved princesses,
hedgehogs broke the sound barrier on a daily basis and gaming
with your friends was a chance for playful retribution for
long-standing injustices - and pizza - in whatever order seemed
convenient at the time.
Inspired by the legacy of games like Bomberman, Mariocart and
many more, we have created Gyrodisc Super League - a
lightning-fast futuristic sport that’s a blend of air hockey,
tennis and volleyball. The rules are simple – Think Pong on
Acid… Victory is seized by quick reactions and the sort of
devious mind games that reveal the true nature of those people
you used to call friends!
Features
· Fast-paced local multiplayer: Compete with your friends in
thrilling competitive versus matches for up to 4 players, or add
AI opponents to get in some much needed solo training. We plan
to add new game modes throughout early access, including an
arcade style story mode, and mini games!
· Singles and doubles gameplay: Take on your opponent solo in
classic singles matches, or battle it out in teams of two in
hectic doubles games, where a combination of individual skill
and team tactics will win the day.
· Choose your character: Choose between two unique player
characters, each with their own strengths, weaknesses and a
powerful signature throw. More player characters will be added
throughout Early Access!
· Choose your Arena: Select from 5 distinct court setups at
launch, with their own arrangement of goals, score boosts and
obstacles that change the layout of the Gyrodisc Super League
Arena. New courts and arena environments will be added
throughout Early Access, allowing you to mix and match the
visual and gameplay style of your matches.
Gameplay
