It has been nearly two years since Windjammers 2 was released, and recently, DotEmu announced a significant update for the game. The update introduces two new characters: Jamma GX03, an android created by Todemu, the major league sponsor, known for its balanced playstyle to cater to various players; and Anna Szalinky, a muscular Polish player who is an orphan from the circus where she grew up. She relies on brute strength rather than agility, offering unmatched striking power. Her ultimate goal is to seek retribution against circuses that mistreat animals.
These two previously unseen characters come with two new game modes: “Lessons” and “Training”. The Lessons aim to teach players how to master all the nuances of Windjammers, including movements and shots (lob, curve, slap, and drop), as well as jumps and Super Shots. It is strongly recommended to practice these lessons against the AI in Training mode, which includes various settings such as difficulty level or gauge filling. These two modes should have been implemented at the game’s launch in early 2022, but DotEmu deemed it unnecessary for release. Nevertheless, this update might entice newcomers who can now challenge players worldwide, regardless of their platform since crossplay has been enabled. Yala!
