AttackingHobo

Amazing game. Simple yet extremely addicting. Its a fighting game where you don't need to memorize convoluted button presses to do combos. Goal of the game is simple. Knock the ball into your opponent and avoid getting hit yourself. You can smack the ball in different directions, smash it down to double its speed, or bunt it to through off your opponent. Each character has different movement mechanics, and a unique special. The sense of speed is incredible. The hit pauses are suspenseful and add a lot of depth to the gameplay. My current Game of the Year for 2014.
