Anime energy. Arcade speed. Pure volleyball championship.
Born from the passion of indie developers at Studio Sunsion, The Spike combines volleyball with anime flair, special abilities, and intriguing personalities. What started as a small project quickly became a global hit - over 50 million downloads - and thrills both volleyball purists and casual players with its powerful rhythm and memorable characters.
A fast, straightforward, and electrifying 2D volleyball experience where every rally feels like a highlight reel. With razor-sharp spikes, smart positioning, and lightning-fast timing, you'll dominate the court with absolute skill and instinct.
The Spike Cross: A New Evolution
If The Spike was a spark, The Spike Cross is a blast. With improved controls, stunning graphics, and a more engaging story, it takes gameplay to a whole new level. Unlike major sports games like FIFA or NBA 2K, this game focuses entirely on the specific aspects of volleyball - it's more like an anime-style sports adventure than a clichéd simulation.
The result?
A unique, character-driven sports experience that feels personal, dramatic, and worth playing again and again.
Gameplay: Fast, Strategic, and Highly Precise
Although it's a 3-on-3 game, the gameplay is by no means easy. Every rally is a mental battle:
Perfect timing is essential for swift attacks, counters, open spikes, and setting the pace.
- Reading the setter's hands.
- Watching for blockers.
- Preparing for the perfect jump.
- Performing the cleanest spike of your life.
You control the same player from start to finish, so every decision - every move, every jump, every spike - feels crucial. It's volleyball at an arcade pace, but surprisingly, it lives up to the game's strategic depth. One match turns into three, then five, before you know it.
A Story With Heart
The story revolves around the many vibrant characters from the Sivu and Spike universes. Their personal struggles, rivalries, and developments blend seamlessly with the gameplay, making each match part of a larger journey.
In addition to regular matches, players can expect:
- Tournaments
- Colosseum-Style Challenges
- Beach Volleyball Mode
- Multiplayer (Shared PvP/Split-Screen and Co-op)
Fluid animations, cool sound effects, and exciting rallies create an atmosphere where a single blocked attack can change the course of an entire game.
Developed with Passion
Developed by amateur volleyball enthusiasts, every detail - from player movement to ball contact - has been carefully crafted. The result is a game that feels energetic, realistic, and surprisingly emotional.
Please create your own character, upgrade their skills, meet new teammates, and face tough opponents as you master the art of volleyball. The controls require a little patience, but the rewards are immense.
