Story

A stranger interrupts a beach volleyball game and offering the player to join the "Ocean Beach Volley" worldwide tournament, to play against the best from eight other countries. The winner of this competition will receive $250,000 dollars.

Gameplay

Follows the base ruleset of volleyball. Two teams of two players each trying to score by making the ball land inside the opponents half of the court. First team reaching seven points within six minutes wins and head to another of the eight countries. At five minutes of play, the music changes to a different tune to indicate the player to hurry up. If you reach the six minutes limit, you lose the game, even if you are ahead in points. One or two player at once can play the game, but tournament mode is only available for single player. In singe player mode you will be joined by an AI controlled player. To help the human player a flickering blue cursor on the ground will indicate where the ball will be landing.
