Windjammers , a sport-based game, is based on Saucer Tennis or Frisbee Tennis. Two players compete in an arena with a low net in the middle. Points are scored by throwing a disc into goals behind a player or when the opponent fails to catch the disc in time. The game features two main throws: a regular throw and a lob. Players can also add effect to their throws using quarter-circle movement.
The game offers six playable characters, each with unique abilities and court designs that suit their skills. A single game consists of short sets, either 30 seconds (international version) or 45 seconds (Japanese version). The first player to win two sets wins the game; otherwise, it goes into sudden death after two draws.
A futuristic twist is added with signature moves, which require players to block, toss, or lob the disc while charging a meter. These moves can be countered and sometimes result in an opponent being knocked into the goal. Players must time their throws carefully to execute these special moves effectively.
Between levels, two mini-games are included: playing fetch with a dog and Flying Disc Bowling.

THE FIRST F.P.D. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OPENS!
Maybe it's the first time for you to hear of the sport called "Flying Power Disc." This thrilling new sport is played controlling a special disc instead of a ball or a shuttle.
Now, the first FPD world championships are to be held. Six athletes gathered in the specially designed courts to compete for victory. See how they use their powers and techniques.

One Point Advice
•
Sooner you throw the disk, higher the speed.
•
The longer the disk is kept, shorter the lob shoot. This is a faint attack.
Holding Rule
When you catch the disc, if you move from the point of reception or keep the disc for more than one second, the disc will be automatically thrown back to the opponent's court.
Match Rules
A match consists of 3 sets. The first player to gain 15 points, or the player with the highest score when time is up, wins 1 set. The player who wins 2 sets is the winner.
If no winner is decided after the final set, a 20-second sudden death play-off will begin. If the first set ends in a tie, the second set will be the final set.
Scoring
•
Red Goal: A goal to the red area gains 5 points.
