Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We like the different game modes you can try. The different backgrounds are cool too, because the music, balls, and hands of the character change too. The leaderboard for each game mode is a good part of the game. We like to play with friends so we can compete over who has the best score in each game mode. Overall, we really like this game a lot! There are no ads, gameplay is smooth, and you don't need WiFi to play. T's one of the few games that we can still play from this company. We still have their Ping Pong game and UGH, which are also good games as well! Although the balls are slow when they roll back and the time given isn't too much, we still like this game, even though it is very old and probably won't be updated ever again. The creators of the game probably stopped making games too! The last review is from 4 years ago. But it's always good to leave a review, no matter how old the game is.
A cheat: You throw the ball to the right side onto the wall and mainly gets into the hoop. The game is so much fun and it gives a ranking table to who ever has played on you phone/Ipad. This makes the game a challenge/competition with friends and family. Not only that but you can also try tricks when trying to get the shoots. You feel like you are actually on a court shooting hoops the scores go up by 2 like in the real game and when you are playing you swipe instead of throwing.
This game is really so fun!! We really enjoy it.
It is slow when the ball comes back.
We had this on our first iPod in 2009 or 2010.
Fun and easy to play and win mpoints.
We love this app! It's great because you can actually earn points that go towards real merchandise! Awesome.
Fantastic app love to shoot hoops.
We just got this game and we really love this game a lot.
We like the game but we love the m points.
This game is awesome to play and we love this game it us our favorite game.
This is very addicting for it to be so simple.
Great app! Our only problem is we can't and haven't been able to get mPoints to load on it. :/.
Since the update it doesn't look like they have mpoints.. Since that is the only reason we used it we are now deleting the app.. :(.
Us and our kids love this app.
Fun game and great way to earn m points.
It is really a fun game, we're getting better every day. Also we love those mPOINTS keep them coming. It's like being at the fair , only a mini version. It's fun.
Fun and a great way to pass the time.
Very addictive, love playing this game.
Excellent game when it doesn't freeze or close.
Very fun to play and challenging when you're on a shooting streak. :) Highly recommended for passing time when you need an escape.
Omg we love your game 5 STARS.
Hi we like your gamer and basketball.
Love this game but you need to fixthe bugs in it…. Once you open it you can't get in to the mpoints unless you exit game and go back in.
Good game. Grate to kill time with.
Fun and very addicting we like it.
Great game. When boredom comes, play this game.
Fun Game and you get m points to that's cool.
Latest update makes this game perfectly smooth.
Classic arcade hoops, great way to buy time.
We play this game all the time, love it. It's something to play when your bored.
Great game, but crashes after 1st game.
We figured out how to get every basket and because of that its kind of boring. Our kids haven't figured it out, so they have fun with it.
Great game just needs minor glitches fixed.
This was the first app we downloaded on our iPhone 5. We like it. It's not really "easy" to win, and that's what we like about it. Pretty good time passer.
It is fun but we don't like tht it gives u ads after every game.
We simply Love this Game it is so fun & just try harder each time to beat the score before, really cool.
This is a terrifically fun and challenging game and the rewards points are a nice bonus.
We love the game especially with the mpoints. Ever since we did the latest update we have been having problems with the game. Just wondering if anyone else is. We completely closed the game out but that didn't help. We've wrote sky works two times now and haven't gotten a response back. Please help.
Great game but once u get alot of prizes on mpoints theyre giving u less mpoints each achievement.
The game keeps shutting off and blacking out.
The game has many lags and struggles to open the mPoints page.
You barely have any control shooting and freezes a lot :(.
Hard to shoot.All it does is take up space.
The physics of this game are just kind of awful. It doesn't really feel like we are shooting each individual shot, The ball always goes in the same way. There's not much difference between too much power just right and not enough power on the shots. It's just a little weird and not that much fun.
We like the basketball game it's fun.
We can barely collect our points without the app crashing … Bad game.
Bought this game for M-points. Game says we have 44 achievements and won't let us have the multi-hundred M-points. Urgh.
We hate this game total waste of time and frustration . Gypsy devil worshippen, kaniving thieving evil witchcrafting gypsy thief.
We love this game! It's really fun and you get to play your own music while you play! Also we love it because it saves your high scores and it feels like your in an actual arcade :).
