It is completely minimalistic, and it takes you a while to get into the rhythm of the play. But once there it does indeed play like "digital crack" it's a thing of beauty to watch, and a joy to play.

It may be a dubious premise, but the volleyball game behind it is a sublime work of art, far more so than any of the others out there. If you want to play the best game of volleyball, this is it...
