Description
A fast-paced action-sports game that pits 2-4 players against each other in a frantic combination of air hockey and tennis. Players scramble to retrieve and throw a glowing disc while unleashing devastating abilities and defending their end zone. An exciting blend of strategy and skill, this arcade-inspired title boasts a zany roster of characters to compete with friends both on the couch and online.
History
Disc Jam was initially developed as a way to stress-test High Horse Entertainment's network code. After 8 weeks of development, they brought it to IndieCade 2015 and let people play it for the first time. After an overwhelmingly positive reception, the decision was made to develop Disc Jam into a first-class product.
