Community Insight:
This is a nice, casual game, and we like the retro theme. Keep up the good work, Reuben.
Cuando mido la potencia en la que quiero tirar la pelota, el mueco lanza la pelota con ms fuerza de la que le estoy poniendo, quisiera que arreglen ese pequeo detalle por que el juego realmente es bueno y no quiero dejar de jugarlo por un bug que muchas veces es muy molesto, y he comprobado con otro amigo al cual le recomend el juego, le gust pero opina lo mismo de que tiene ese bug de no medir bien la fuerza de tiro.
After reading the reviews, the thought to try it. We agree with everyone else but it is a real problem.
We just want to start of with saying how this is a great looking game. We love the art style of this game and think it gives of a chill vibe which is what we think the devs are going for. For overall game play, there is not a lot of content. But this is supposed to be a small game and it is good at being one. Its a good game to play if you are bored because you can work towards beating your high score and that gives it some replay ability and it can be fun shooting on the different hoops.
Echoing the same story here, great aesthetic and maps but the shot meter is hard to read and inconsistent. The challenge is fun but it needs to be a bit easier to be fun.
Appreciate the simplicity and love the vibe of your game! We developed First Person Hooper which tries to create a chill hoops atmosphere as well so we really love what you did here and enjoy the relaxing gameplay. Hoops is love.
We love this game, its so peaceful and time consuming excellent work guys. Our wife doesnt believe its a basketball game because its so peaceful. Please make more you guys are amazing.
Once you get the hang of the shooting system, it turns into a fun game. Shot system could be a bit better, though. The music and atmosphere are also both very relaxing.
Its fun so far but hard to learn. Its a game about trial and error.
Super fun game its peaceful and calming and a good stress reliever but our one problem was we wish it was a curved line instead of straight.
Very good baseball and football game.
Love the game, also played golf odyssey a lot too. Our one issue is that in your games the shot meters are difficult to read. Since you just use dots to represent multiple ranges its very hard to know exactly how powerful your shot is. IMO it would be better if either you made each dot on the meter represent a single solid integer instead of a range, OR to change the look of the shot meter to be more of a slider so that its easier to gauge shot power.
Shot meter is actually garbage. Four is not enough, then five is too much. Terrible shot meter.
Game would be better if the shot meter was better. Its a good concept for a game though.
The game is very relaxing in terms of the worlds and the music, the actual gameplay takes away from that. The shot meter is regularly inconsistent and overall difficult to perform well with. The fact that you also have to start a world all over again if you cant manage to make every shot with only two balls per level is ridiculous. An arcing shot meter would work wonders with this game and would make the game much easier to play and much more enjoyable as well.
This game seems legit, we like it but at least for us it seems like the aiming for the ball in this game is a little weird? We dont know maybe its just us.
Could be 5 stars if the shot meter was fixed.
This game is fun and simple and enjoyable for the most part, but as many others have said, the shot meter is off. In our experience, its WAY off. Some shots Ill be at 3 dots, and way undershoot, then Ill do 3 dots on another shot, with the same angle, and the shot will go way over the basket. If the meter would be fixed it would be a 4-5 star.
This game would be fun if it had some smarter design on the UI and kept the pacing up. The controls are clunky, the aim is incredibly sensitive and hard to distinguish, and you have to start a level all over again if you miss twice (without paying). Definitely a GATCHA game. And thats too bad.
Makes you rate and constant ads.
The strength meter is extremely inaccurate, its different every time. At the end of a level youre stuck on a rate screen with no x. And an ad after every single attempt seems a little excessive. Unimpressed.
Would Love to get in contact with the developer and talk about future games and the potential of his current games.
Not enough diversity. The word basketball makes us really mad sometimes. We wish it was called football odyssey. We still want to shoot a ball into a hoop but we want it to be called football instead. Thanks.
Its pretty much a Desert Golfing clone in a basketball skin. Needs better inclusion for minorities, particularly latinx and lgbtq. Im outraged and triggered.
This game needs a restart button after you mess up the run, so you can get right back to it and not have to go to the menu everytime.
It is supposed to be a relaxing experience but only two attempts and you have to start over? And the inaccurate shooting meter makes it more difficult. Either give more shoot attempts or make the shot meter more direct and clear to make the expletive more enjoyable.
The shooting meter is too inconsistent makes it way to hard to make shots especially with only 2 attempts.
We think they should let the ball hit the ground one time before it fails you so you can do more trick shots.
