What Makes Bouncy Basketball Stand Out
Bouncy Basketball is a one-button, 2D physics-based, pixel art basketball game.
- Perform breathtaking, screen-shaking slam dunks
- Score regular 3-pointers and 2-pointers, or buzzer beaters
- Steal the ball from your opponent
- Choose between 1, 2, 3 or 4 quarters with a duration of 30, 60 or 90 seconds each
- Unlock and play with as many as 30 teams
- Customize the teams and choose their players
Challenge your basketball-loving friends to fierce basketball battles on a shared screen, or simply play against the CPU if you don't feel like jeopardizing your friendships.
Bouncy Basketball combines the random fun and addictiveness of 2D physics-based gameplay with the satisfying feeling of outsmarting opponents with your finely honed skills and clever tactics.
In Bouncy Basketball, no one game is like the other!
This Sports game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We used to love playing this game as a kid and trying to act like the real players were on the team lol, so much fun and good times.
Its unfair cpu are stronger then you and when its your ball the cpu takes the ball from you and dunks on you and its impossible to blast.
We love this app we been playing since high school still to this day mad fun.
Im giving it 5 stars cus why not, but in playoffs, we cant stop shooting over the backboard no matter how slow we hold the button, which is why we think its rigged. Npcs are shoving us out the map which is unfair. Make a blocking foul or smth. Also npcs are swishing EVERY SINGLE SHOT! No matter how much we cover them. And finally, Easy mode isnt even easy. Easy mode and hard mode are just the same. Please fix stuff.
Yooo Im a big fan and Im begging that you just release bouncy basketball 2. Even in the state its in. Game development can be hard, (we would know too) but we also know the last thing to do is give up. The fact that there are still people like us who love bouncy basketball proves that this is a great opportunity. Not to mention the recent popularity of the very similar Basketball Random game. Sure, we dont actually know the problems you are facing in development but we think that the way to learn would be to push through and not give up. All of your games are really fun, and we still play the original. Take this as you will, but personally, we think that giving up doesnt help anyone.
This game fixed all our problems in life as soon as we started playing it all day everyday.
Is a little hard because in computer is too hard but we still win on the Champion of Bouncy Basketball so we get this a five out of five.
This game is friggen awesome dont change a friggen thing, all those retards that say that they should be no goal tending dont listen to them we love the goaltending part. Dont change it. In our opinion this is the funniest basketball game we have ever played. Its funner than 2k. Shout out to theses creators and developers that made this game that they did a great job (and also you should start selling this game on consoles like Nintendo switch) bc that would make us so happy and so many other people that have switch. And you should put it on the Nintendo shop we would definitely buy it! But dont change anything! We love playing this game because its simple) we dont like big complicated games that take forever to load and have adds and crap. This game is just top friggen notch!! We really hope its on the Nintendo shop soon.
This game is fun! But, could use little updates like more themes! So, here is what we cooked up: The Suburban( played on a drive thru of a simple 2 story suburban house with a red regular NBA hoop with glass backboard ), The School ( played on with a logo saying GO TIGERS! On the wall with a regular basketball goal that hangs on the ceiling ) ,and lastly The City 2.0 ( played in a city with tall buildings and has moving cars on the road! Bonus: team stadiums. A Dear and Proud Player, Careful Apothecary.
Can yall please update game in some kind of way, to where the uniforms matches the 2023 NBA uniforms and the faces matches the 2023 teams and could yall add more maps like we would just love a brand new update to the game in some kind of way.
Best we wish you could goaltend more.
This is by far the best phone game on the app store and it would be even better if you guys updated the rosters and the team overall ratings to the newest season and their uniforms, maybe even a seasons mode keep it up man.
We love the game but there are a bunch of bugs such as us being closer to the ball and reaching out and the other player getting the ball in the bus sometimes get stuck on the hoop and we dont think they should be able to grab the ball when its on the hoop.
This app is perfect for killing time all we want you all to do is maybe more time for each quarter and maybe add fouls shots thanks please fix it soon otherwise its amazing.
This is a fun time waster that all our friends downloaded after we shut them out, were having a little tournament on an ipad, thanks for the great game.
Please add online multiplayer. This game is really fun it but it would be even better if you added online multiplayer and maybe added it to PlayStation so we could play with our friends on PlayStation.
Thanks for giving the option to take away those tiny buttons. And thank you for listening, great work.
Great game its kind a old school but that is not bad to us it good its the vibe you know.
Love the game. We think the only thing that could be updated is customizing another player for playing with 3 players. That way we can use big 3s for the lakers, nets, bucks, and more. Other than that, amazing game.
This game is so fun as specially when bored. Ive been playing this game for 4 years and never got bored of it. We definitely recommend this to any one with time to kill.
Its 2021 You need an online mode and some stuff you can earn like arenas or update how good the teams at and customize your players if you do that we will make a YouTube channel dedicated to playing this game please do it but we do love this game we have all of youre guys games Im in love with them so please please do those suggestions.
We wood say its fun and good but we wish there was a campaign mode just saying.
This game is awesome its better then 2k but we recommend this game to a lot of ppl it just need a update.
The games amazing and all but us personally we would like a harder mode than the hard mode because Im blowing the ai out by 40 and get kinda bored.
Its sort of a request of a game mode, we love bouncy playoff, but could you possibly make a bouncy season mode? We know yall got playoffs, but we would loooove to play a full season.
If you say that they miss shots They do but not a lot yall are probably not skilled or just cant play the game hard mode is easy easy is like hard mode its a coincidence. Btw keep up the good work.
We really like the game, the gameplay, graphics, music, EVERYTHING. But we want at least an offer to get rid of ads.
We been playing this game for a long time and will agree you can and will get hooked on. The gameplay is fun and really keeps us on our toes. The only issues with this game is broken physics and mechanics. We would tap the screen so our players would jump and sometimes they would just raise their arms or not move at all. Further more, with that jumping mechanic, it makes is hard to do a lot of the actual game and your only tapping and holding your fingers majority of the time. We hope this game gets an update soon because this app is really in desperate need for one. As much as we love it, Its reminding us of why it got deleted the first time.
We have scored more than 100 pts in hard mode but our records wont change,and the last game we played we got 13 steals and didnt unlock Miami and that wasnt the first time either.
We wish you could make a 2nd one and graphics look like gladihoopers and since 12:00 minutes is a actually game we think make that highest quarter length and maybe on this one.
This is a fun and simple game thats why we like it. We do suggest making it so that the sim button in the tournament sims all that matches instead of just having to manually sim each one in between the long animations.
Did this game had a remove-ads option? We remember paying for it.
We would say add a season mode because the tournament mode gets boring after a while.
We love this game and we love to play the playoff mode, but we feel that you should add a full season mode. It would make the game just so much better.
Game would be a lot more fun if there was some sort of multiplayer, because going against the a.we. On hard is too easy to win if you know how to play even a little bit. But overall such a fun game.
We have been playing bouncy basketball since 2015. Since then, there have been many changes such as new courts, bug fixes, and more gameplay settings such as quarter lengths, side switching, and controlling players, and switching the old red and blue buttons to just tapping sides, and dunks. Things that we love about this game are how funny and fun it is, how you can play with a friend on the same device, and how you can make crazy shots. However, there are some cons. The AI in this game should have more difficulties. The current two, which are easy and hard, are horrible at handling the ball and always knock it out of bounds. The cpu should be able to time jumping better and provide more of a challenge. Secondly, there are barely any player models, and the players for each team arent getting updated as the nba progresses each year. Besides this and a few bugs, there arent many problems. We have a few suggestions that could improve the game. Firstly, buttons should come back. Bringing back the buttons on each side makes the game less messy and disallows people from blocking the screen with their fingers when you play with them. Secondly, you guys should make an online mode to compete with others. We dont need a rating system or whatever, but it would be nice to play against people online in different time controls. Thirdly, there should be an option to make custom teams or even be able to play a season, just like the playoff mode was introduced a few years ago. This game would be amazing with more customization options. Overall, very fun game, but it needs some work.
This game is really fun and simple, we like the customization for teams option, the detail put into making reflections on the court floor, we even like the music, but it needs more incentive for us to keep playing. You get two options, quick game and playoffs, but the rewards for these two things are just more available teams, its fun to play for a while but eventually ill just get bored and delete it. This game really has opportunity to be amazing if some other rewards system was added for wins and maybe a higher difficulty too, because eventually youll just start winning every game with any team even on hard difficulty.
This has been a top 3 basketball game on mobile for awhile now. Our only wish is that playoff mode could be expanded to a series, and that a sort of season mode could be implemented. With a season mode and playoff series this game would have a replay ability thats unmatched based on how simplistic and addictive the gameplay is already. We just believe it lacks a motive for replaying and a season mode where you can win championships and track success would make the game that much harder to put down. Also, make the cpu a tad harder to beat lol. We been smackin them with no effort on hard forever. Love the game so much.
Fun game just we have a brand new phone and we feel like it doesnt register our tap to jump the other team is jumping like crazy and we can barely move ours almost feels like it on purpose or the jumping is fine then all of a sudden the next quarter the other team is all over and we can barely move ours.
Our favorite players just cant grab the ball, on jump balls they either hit the ball forward or backward and it either goes out of bounds or into our basket.
Everytime we try to shoot the AI always blocking when it clearly went inside the goal but it happened to us and it was a point easy is hard idk why but everytime we play easy its mad hard (pause..) but when we play hard (pause again..) its easy we dont like the AI they should add a online mode so you can play with other people and not just AI because those AI always getting in your way and sometimes you probably cant even score one point which happens to us 24/7 and sometimes is 99% of those stupid AI they should really just add a online feature because thats gonna make the game so much better than playing with the stupid AI that our honest opinion.
The game is great for the most part, we do really like it. The piece we feel its missing, is a season. This game had a season mode that led all the way to the playoffs, the game would be more entertaining. Im not sure if retro football and Bouncy basketball share the same creator, but looking over at retro football. They have a team, edit, a football season that has unlimited seasons, and an exhibition. The only thing they dont have is a playoff mode because the playoffs are in the season mode. But we all know 2K and other basketball games have a season mode, exhibition mode/play now, Career mode, Online mode, Playoff mode, And a our league/our GM mode. If this game could get an addition of one of these modes, that is not in the game already, this game would be one of the best small app games ever made. We believe that would make this game a lot more entertaining and eye-opening for many players who like to play games like this.
This game is great for a long road trip or when youre just bored with time to spare; but there are many problems that can really affect the gameplay. First, fix the goaltending problems. Imagine youre up by 10 with 30 seconds left and youre confident that your team will win, but every shot is stolen mid-air right before you make it. We are speaking from experience. So please fix goaltending or make it easier for the real players to do the same. Also, fix the stealing hit-boxes. The ball could be going to your side but then some dude all the way in the back steals it right before you grab it. Also, make it easier for the ball to ACTUALLY go into your hand. Sometimes the ball would no-clip through your hand for the other team to get it. Other than this, the game is great.
We were playing on easy mode and got killed by the other team and for some reason the ball seemed to go through one of our players and go to the other team which is really annoying./hard mode, when we played hard mode it was almost as easy as playing on easy mode idk why and the ball didnt go through our team this time.
Would rather shoot our mom then try to get these goobers to actually grab the ball.
Im on east and in quick play its pretty fair and easy but when you go to the playoffs they are really op. The game is great but gosh the playoffs are awful.
This game has so much potential to be a good game but a few things make this game AWFUL. For example whenever trying to prevent a dunk your player flys back and just allows free points. Additionally, there should be a mechanic where you can choose the direction you are going, for example when we were trying to make our way to the other side of the court our player would sometimes go backwards instead of forwards. This is the reason why you REALLY SHOULDNT DOWNLOAD THIS TRASH OF A GAME. If the devs see this please add the mechanic we suggested above, but overall is an average but slightly below average game.
The game was so good in the past now we can barely get the ball at the jump or in general. The ai Always seem to get the ball and push you all the way out of bounds its broken now we liked it better in the past still decent though.
It seems like when you switch sides you start losing in the playoffs your character gets pushed all the way over its impossible to win against the Ai even on easy mode, its fun with friends but not with Ai.
Why does the steph curry at point gaurd misses most threes at the best release.
