Rugby, or for our American fans - American football, is the showcase of the final Squishy Sports sport mode that we want to share with you! Although Rugby and American Football are different sports our version of this awesome sport mode takes the concept of hitting the ball over the post to score a goal - a similarity between both sports!
This sport brings more vertical gameplay to Squishy Sports - as does Basketball! The main difference between the two modes is the scoring area! Whilst Basketball demands accuracy from players, Rugby has a large score area! This makes the sport mode a little bit more accessible to players as they find themselves smashing the ball over the bar to see their score increase! In the high-level play, experienced players will need to consider using their double jump and directional dashes to stay airborne and block goals!
Another feature that makes this sport mode feel different from others is the ball itself - it’s EGG shaped! This combined with the different character shapes means that the way you interact with the ball will feel different and perhaps more unpredictable! Players will need to take this into consideration when placing their shots, picking their characters, and special moves! Is your opponent trying to keep you grounded with a bear trap? Counter that with a devastating Tornado to kick everything up in the air!
And that brings us to the end of our sports showcases! We hope you’ve enjoyed this insight into our sports modes to learn about how and why we designed these! Stay tuned for more posts that deep dive into more aspects of our game and art design!
Thanks for reading!
