How the game plays
You move left and right and jump. The ball bounces off your character, so timing the jump is the whole trick. Each side gets three touches, the fourth one is a fault. If the ball lands in the sand on the other side, you score.
Every touch also fills your flame bar. When it is full, your next spike turns into a fireball. It flies faster, burns and is very hard to return. A set goes to 7, 11, 15 or 21 points, and you can play one set or best of three.
Play volleyball online in your browser
The demo is the quickest way to try it. It loads about 6 MB, needs no account and starts on Sunny Beach with three characters. You can play solo against the computer or with two people on one keyboard or touchscreen.
- Left player: A and D to move, W to jump
- Right player: arrow keys
- Phone or tablet: each player gets buttons on their half of the screen
Two players, one device
Glibber Cup is built for playing side by side. Put a tablet on the table, connect two controllers to a Mac, or share one phone. There is no online mode and no second device needed. Read more on the page about 2 player games.
11 worlds that change the rules
The court changes more than the background. On the Moon Base the ball floats, under water it sinks slowly, in the desert the wind pushes it sideways. Volcano Island fills the flame bar twice as fast, so fireballs come thick and fast. On the Glacier you slide on ice, in Sugar Hills you jump higher, and on the Neon Rooftop the ball drops faster and hits harder.
Arcade, not a simulation
This is not a realistic volleyball simulation with teams and rotations. It is one against one, rounds take a few minutes, and the controls fit on three buttons. That makes it a good game for kids, for a quick break, or for settling who does the dishes.
Where to get the full game
Glibber Cup is on Google Play for Android phones and tablets. The versions for iPhone, iPad and Mac are coming to the App Store soon. The download is free and includes Sunny Beach, three characters and two balls. A one-time purchase, All Worlds, unlocks the other ten worlds, five characters and four balls. No ads, no subscription, no account, and settings stay on your device.
