![]() Each character also has a unique movement ability and a special move. Like Divekick, a lot of Lethal League is just about learning the different angles to each character. First off each character hits the ball at different angles for their upward and power swings. Lethal League has five characters, and each of them have a few differentiating factors. The player who last tagged the ball can continue to hit the ball though, so if you just focus on avoiding getting hit the other player will likely continue to up the ball's speed while you panic. Each hit of the ball also "tags" it with that player's color, making them safe from the ball. The ball bounces around the stage after being hit, and if you get hit by the ball you get knocked out. Most shots speed the ball up by a set amount, but power shots (done by hiting downwards while in the air) double the speed of the ball, making speed growth exponential. Each hit also increases the hitlag when hitting the ball, indicated by the colored bars filling up near the bottom of the screen, so the timing for returning the ball isn't the same every single hit. Every time you hit the ball its speed goes up, giving you less time to react. Okay, so obviously just saying you hit a ball back and forth is oversimplifying things, so let's delve a bit deeper into the gameplay. Unlike most indie multiplayer focused games, Lethal League has online multiplayer powered by GGPO, meaning unlike most indie games you don't need real life friends to enjoy it ( ), and because it uses GGPO the netcode is actually competent. There's also a single player challenge mode akin to Super Smash Bros' classic mode, complete with unique final boss. It also has a fun artsyle and a fantastic soundtrack, both of which are reminiscent of Jet Set Radio. The developers have taken the concept from the prototype fleshed them out into a fully fledged game with new mechanics, multiple characters, and multiple modes including four player free-for-alls. You might have seen it as a flash game that was making the rounds last year. Lethal League is a competitive multiplayer game where you hit a baseball back and forth. ![]()
