## What is 8bit Lives?

Women's volleyball in classic 8-bit style: chunky pixel players, chiptune music, and fast rallies on the beach and in the gym.

READ IT, TIME IT, HIT IT
The ball flies in three dimensions, and its shadow shows where it will land. Run under it and time your pass, your set and your spike against the ball. Nail the timing for a PERFECT touch, or go up at the net and stuff their hitter with a block. Toss your serve and hit it at the top. String three PERFECT touches together for a HOT STREAK.

MADE FOR YOUR THUMBS
On iPhone and iPad, tap as the ring closes to pass and set, and swipe to serve and spike: a fast flick hammers it, a slow drag tips it over the block, and the faster you swipe your serve, the deeper it goes. Your hitter can jump for you, so a kill is one swipe. Feel every touch through haptics, and a ghost hand shows each move the first time it comes up. Prefer buttons? They're one switch away.

TWO GAMES IN ONE
- Beach: two-on-two on the sand, under the sky by the sea
- Indoor: six-on-six in the gym, with rotations, a libero, double blocks, two referees and line judges
- Every player has her own look and five attributes: jump, speed, dig, hit and set
- All teams, schools, clubs and players are original
- Kill replays, set breaks with a Player of the Set, and a match review with a Player of the Match
- Easy, Normal and Hard, plus assists: let the computer pass and set while you serve, hit and block, or show where the ball will land

FREE TO PLAY
- Exhibition: any two teams, beach or indoor, best of 3 or 5 sets
- Season: a college conference season, then its conference tournament
- Beach Tour: a short tour of 4 events with ranking points

16-BIT UPGRADE (ONE PURCHASE, EVERY DEVICE)
- Season at every level: high school, club, college and pro, with full schedules, a computer ranking and a national tournament
- League: season after season, with seniors graduating, players growing and recruiting to fill your roster
- Beach Tour: the full tour of 8 events and the Tour Finals
- Party: King of the Court for 2 to 8 people on one controller. Win the rally and stay on; lose it and pass the controller on
