Please change the name of the game to Please watch our ads for our benefit but other than that we say its pretty boring.
Its like the best game ever so easy and fun 5 stars.
The gameplay is super addictive and very satisfying. We find ourselves getting lost for hours on end playing this. Only thing we wish is that there was a premium mode. The ad breaks really throw us off. Id be happy to pay to get rid of them.
This game is amazing everyone should play this we love this game.
This is definitely a game for people who like to compete against others. Its very addicting and overall very fun. We usually would write something not so good but we honestly cant find anything. Ive been playing this game for over 5 years and we still cant find anything wrong with it.
The game is fun but it has ads a LOT and its really easy you play against a bot all you do is tap your screen and try to get a hop around a ball. It can be addictive tho but is pretty boring after a while. Slay the day away.
Has a lot of ads but overall, is better.
For some reason everytime we close the open the app theres no sound/music playing at all. This game is overall super great but if you fix the sound glitch ill give yall 5 stars (:.
This game is very fun but we cant stand the amount of ads that play. There is no option to buy the ad free version so Im going to stop playing it.
We really like this game, but the ads are driving us insane. And we cant find an option to pay to get rid of the ads. We probably wont keep playing long term, because its just so many ads. But it is fun and competitive and mindless.
We really like the game but they have extremely too many adds! Like after every single game its an add. We deleted it.
If youre a baller shot caller then go all in! Its a fun game , just way too many ads.
We love the game and would play it far more than we do if there wasnt so many ads. Youll spend double your time watching ads as you playing the game every hour.
And too little real players. Its fun, but not very challenging because youre rarely or if ever, playing real people. Sad because this game is so sick man, we love it and it would be so much better if more people competed.
The games fun for about 4 seconds until u realize the first game is pretty much how alll the games are gonna go, and that be fine u guess but since the ai difficulty doesnt change at all you kinda just fly the all the opponents even on the finals. But the worst of it all is the ads. No matter what as soon you finish a game it gives u a ad after playing the tutorial you kinda have a hang of it and can finish one game in about 20-25 seconds and the ads last the same sometimes longer depending on how tedious they make exiting out of the ad itself. This makes this game and most other free mobile games nowadays exhausting to play which is the last thing we should feel when playing a game.
Dont get us wrong. The game itself is very fun. However its so easy to win, we wish there was like an online mode or some difficulty leveling. Also not to mention there are ADs after every round and theyre annoying. The ones we get are like 4 minutes long and never let us exit out. We would turn on airplane mode to fix it but Im usually playing when Im waiting for a text so its not the best option for us.
The game is very fun, but we cant enjoy it because after every match (that only last about 5 seconds) there is an ad right away. Im watching more ads than we are playing the game.
This is a fun game, but after EVERY match you get an ad. Its not reasonable to expect us to win a match in < 10 seconds and then spend an equal amount trying to get out of the darn ad that pops up. If there was an option to pay a one time fee to remove ads that would be one thing. If you actually incorporated ads into your game instead of forcing them on the user every second you can, that would also be acceptable. Unfortunately how the game is now is just unplayable.
Honestly the game isn't that fun anymore because your actually playing against bots who basically just hop around so you literally never lose unless you just not tapping or distracted but still then you can beat them which is not as fun. Also the ads is astronomical lmaoo and you can't even pay to get them gone.
But you merely adopted the dark; we were born in it, moulded by it. We didn't see the light until we were already a man, by then it was nothing to us but BLINDING! Remember those little rings in water handheld games.
The add is JUST like the game it is so fun there is barely any adds, only after 2 or like 3 games then you get a add. GET THIS GAME.
We love this game because its so fun and creative and we love basketball and its one of our favorite games now.
We were on the first level and its already already fun.
Great game and very addictive however we are over the forced ads. There are ads after every game. It is so annoying .The developers should give us the option to pay to get rid of the ads.
It gets addictive and fun but we had a add and then after we went to play another level and we got another add right after.
The game is so fun and all, but we really wish it had to where you can make it no ads buy something and it would have no ads.
Hoop Stars is so awesome. We have been playing it for five minutes and we love the graphics. Its simple and addictive. There is another game in the App Store that is similar to this one but it is boring. Hoop Stars is worth the download. Keep it up.
Ive had this game for a couple days and played in 25 tournaments, meaning Ive participated in that many chest room bonuses. For each bonus, you are given 3 keys to try to find the jackpot (either a hoop or 200 gems) which is in 1 of the 9 chests. That means there is theoretically a 1/3 chance you will the jackpot, and a 2/3 you wont for a single event. Out of the 25 bonuses Ive participated in, we havent hit a single jackpot. The odds of this are: (2/3)^25, or .00128%, meaning Im the unluckiest person in the world, or the chest rooms are rigged.
We Absolutely Am in Luv wit this Game Only thing we wish is it had a option to pay to lose the Ads and we only just downloaded this game and we are beyond Hooked And mostly we win A few times lost from distractions from our Dogs jumping on our or someone messaging us but other then that wen im in the zone Theres no losing for us And its Hrs of Fun so Thanks for that What we dont understand what the point of the Purple Diamonds we dont or have not found the use for them ! We were looking around wen we were trying to see if it had a option to pay to lose the Ads and we havent found a thing for them we originally thought it was for buying new skins for tire or background theams but nope nothing Now that wud be a nice plan to be able to use um for buying new skins and or different shapes or something but hope if this msg is seen that they will consider that and Thanks again for this Awesome Game.
Good game but wish we felt like we were going against real players.
Love the game the only problem is that. Your verse real people. We are way too good at the game. If it was real people we will have a challange. Also not a lot of ads.
This game is great, except for the ads that appear after every round. Is there a way to pay to opt out of receiving ads? We cant find anything for that.
Its an addicting game but we wish it allowed multiplayer. We would play this with our wife for fun. And sound would be good too.
The game is so fun, we just have a few complaints: 1. All the opponents are obviously bots and are very easy to beat most the time, we only get the occasional challenge 2. Chest room is clearly rigged, you cant get the best prize unless you watch ads for more keys, like there's already ads after every match and we just think that's kinda greedy(but we get it, it's a mobile game) 3. Background music would be a neat addition 4. Not really a clear way to move up the leaderboard or move up leagues? Idk we don't see it written anywhere 5. Wish there was an option to pay to remove ads we love the game overall it's soso much fun.
A good game is one of our favorites but it have tooo many ads.
We love this game but there is way to many ads.
Developers please read this, we really enjoy this game and it would make it better if you could choose game modes Sincerely, Brantley.
Simple, however it's clear that they just want to sell advertising time. After every single second match they employ one of those super grating that makes you wait five seconds then press the small X then brings up the App Store page which you have to minimize then press another X after waiting five seconds only to be redirected to the skip page. They pull tricks like giving you a times two reward bonus if you watch a long ad and they don't give you a no thank you option until 10 seconds of waiting. People like this give fun and entertainment a bad name. Seriously like every single piece of software these days is touting itself as some fun experience but underneath it all they are snakes who want to waste your time and steal your money. May God have mercy on your souls.
The game itself is really fun, the options for the hoops and balls are really cool. Our favorite one is the lord of the rings hoop. Great graphics and quality. BUT it has many issues that are starting to make consider keeping the game on our phone. Ill start from least the greatest. 1, wheres the personal stats??? Ive gotta be like 500+wins and 1 loss, but the game has nothing to show that, would be really cool to see that as well as other players stats so you could make it in the top 100 or something. 2, whats up with the zombie bots of opponents?? Its cool having only lost 1 game, but everyone likes at least somewhat of a challenge. Theres been several times where we havent touched the screen in a game to let the bot catch up and it turns into Ray Charles and forgets the ball exists, its terribly easy to win. Let us play against real people, its not like Im the only human that has this game downloaded. And 3!!!! Why am we dropped down a level if we dont touch the game for just a couple hours????? Every teir we work our way up to #1 and wait 6 long days just to get the rank up that we more than deserve, just to get knocked down the level we just was at because we go and live our life outside of the game. At the beginning of this week, we were as high as Expert Level and now we have been knocked down to rookie!!! Mind you we havent lost a single game, so theres no logical reason for this reason to happen. Idk if this is a glitch or something but please fix this or this game wont even be a memory lol. The fact that theres ads after every match is a little over the top but its whatever. The game has a lot of potential but we think it needs a lot more time and effort as well as consideration of the people reviews on playing it. Thanks for reading.
Very fun game. We feel like we have to watch an ad like every minute though just to do anything. Its like non stop and worst of it all they are super long ads.
Great game, entertaining and fun but, way too many ads.
This is actually a really good game, HOWEVER, the keys are rigged, as in you have to watch ads to get the Best prize which we really hate. This game is very addicting so Ill play it for like an hour straight several times in one day. So Ive played a bunch of rounds in this game, like A BUNCH, and out of all of those games Ive never ever lost a single round. The bots are just way too easy. (Or maybe theyre real people that are actually really bad). But aside that it is a good game.
We really enjoy this game, but the ads are ridiculous. Ended up deleting the game because of them. There should be an option to pay a dollar or so to remove ads.
It would be a fun game if there wasnt an ad after every round not only that but after the ad their is a treasure chest that pops up that you can only open by watching an ad how fun is that.
Some of the ads last longer than the actual game.
Would be way more fun without ads between every dame.
This game is a ton of fun, we love the physics, but the amount of ads is insane, literally an unstoppable ad after every single round.
Its not bad but getting an ad after every quick game gets annoying.
The ads ruin it. We understand ads, but having one after every single match is no good for this type of game. This is meant to be a fast paced quick play game. Nothing quick about having to sit through ads every match.
This game is fun but its so annoying there is an add after every round witch makes the game not interesting we want to be able to play the game not play and watch an add every single round its stupid.
