What’s happening at Next Fest
Solo developer temkosoft brings just volleyball to Next Fest ahead of its listed November 4 release. The game supports online and offline play, with match sizes ranging from one-on-one to full six-player teams.
What makes the game stand out
The pitch emphasizes straightforward controls while leaving room for individual play styles. That combination could make it approachable for newcomers while giving regular players space to read the ball, position well and coordinate with teammates.
Who may want to try it
Players looking for a quick competitive session may find the flexible team sizes appealing: a friend can join without needing a full roster. The demo offers a timely chance to see whether its movement and ball play feel clear across both casual and team formats.
Playable demo: Yes — Play the just volleyball demo on Steam.
