Jelly Polo

Jelly Polo is a 3-on-3 sports game that uses small-scale exertion. There are no set positions and movement is impulse-based rather than rate-based. This means you have to constantly flick the movement stick in order to move. The faster you flick the stick the faster you move. Precision throwing is also used, where the other thumbstick controls exactly where and how hard you throw the ball.

Backed by research, including multiple publications, Jelly Polo could be the next best thing to happen to the sports video game genre. Winner of the CHI Play 2014 Audience Choice Award for best game, Jelly Polo is enjoyed by everyone. There are three main improvements of Jelly Polo over existing sports video games: it allows for an increased opportunity for expertise development (i.e., you can actually get faster at moving and better at passing at a physical level); it enables individual differentiation in the skillsets of different players like no other sports game before it; and finally, the control scheme causes some fatigue which changes the way players play over the course of a game. These factors make Jelly Polo a truly competitive and sport-like video game that is based on player skill rather than statistical simulations of the game.
