Community Insight:
We used to play this game alot in 2023 and we found their TikTok account but they stopped posting along time ago and ever since we havent been kept up with this game we wanna get back into it yk js a chill vibing game that we can watch Netflix while playing it but we still want more updates to this game maybe some dribbling not advanced but a button you can press for a tween or cross over yk or different maps and more modes maybe a 1v1 mode against an ai we loved this game and see alot of potential for growth but it seems they gave up on it.
This game is the best basketball game we have played but this game needs like a 1on1 or a 2on2 would be awesome.
This game is very fun and we play it on a daily basis. This game is good for killing time and distracting yourself from the world. This is one of if not, THE greatest basketball games Ive played so far. We love the game dont get us wrong, BUT.. It does get boring after a little while of playing. The reasons being: the court in our opinion doesnt feel big enough, the movement is pretty basic and bland (still good tho) and we feel like theres not really many things to do and its kind of the same thing every time we play, So we have some suggestions for your game, it would be really cool if you added some of or one of these ideas but im not forcing any pressure on you. Suggestion 1: we think a bigger court or a system where you can move up to/unlock different looking courts with different sizes. Suggestion 2: we think this one is pretty basic but would be pretty cool to have, a day/night/sunset setting where you can change the time would be pretty cool and fit the mood in certain situations. Suggestion 3: in general we think a re work of the movement and UI would be great including adding more ball skins/hoop skins, a cool ball skin for an example would be a black ball with white stripes instead of normal black ones like with a normal brown ball. And also a weather changing option would be perfect for the day/night cycle to. These are all our suggestions and our opinions on what should be added to the game. Love the game tho and we hope to see one of these things added some day.
As a player of the game and the 4th ranked globally we can say with all honesty that this game is addictive, however this game needs attention primarily in the arena of the controls, the shooting meter especially on angled shots or short shots is not as honed as it can be thus making other angled shots more difficult than needed. To keep the player engaged, we recommend you address to make it more enjoyable.
Im 38 and Im no Lebron this is a great way for us to feel like we still got it without breaking a sweat.
Its just amazing. The controls are simple and easy, The functions are amazing, the selections of maps and basketball are cool choices. We would recommend adding AI or online to the game so we could have some competition. Mini games would be cool too, maybe even a battle pass, but overall 10/10.
This game is insanely good yall should try it peace skibidi toilet rizz.
Love the game, bought the customization pack with remove ads included within five minutes of playing the game. Definitely a really great find on the App Store and look forward to dropping a lot of time in it. Thanks for making such an awesome game and even prioritizing controller support! Touch controls are super fluid as well meaning you can enjoy either method you play just as much as the other.
This is the first mobile game we actually like because first-person-basketball.
This game is the best you guys will love it looking forward to knew features and updates we would also like to see more games and A MULTIPLAYER.
This will probably be our favorite solo basketball game. We swear this game and company has so much potential. What we would suggest tho is adding a multiplayer game mode. If thats still in progress you can add a full court/half court 1v1 against ai. Nonetheless one of our favorite games so far into this year.
Can not express how awesome this game is.
We love this game and its mechanics but we cant help but think about how fun a multiplayer mode would be. Imagine playing a real match on this. Its already a 5/5 but with multiplayer it would be a 6/5. Great game.
Arcade mode for a high score or Zen mode to sooth the soul this game is fantastic. Best with a Backbone or controller.
We love the cool vibes and gameplay.
This game is really fun keep up the amazing work and dont let the haters get to you Im also wondering if there will be a soccer one.
We found this game on TikTok and we downloaded it for free, and it is the best calming game to hoop to. When we downloaded the game on TikTok the creator FOLLOWED ME ON TIKTOK and their TikTok is First Person Hooper.
This is one of the best mobile game we have ever played. There is hardly any ads and you can play wherever you want.
We think there should be a full court online mode where you can play a 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, and a 5v5 with your friends or other people.
We spent hours playing this and its amazing especially the trick shots we recommend this game for everyone who enjoys sports or basketball.
Game is very fun and amazing it can be sm better tho keep up the good work man looking forward to ranked matches love this game.
Love the game keep up the work everyone loves your game we love it if your keep it up you can become successful.
Best game to count on when you're bored but one thing and it won't ruin our school add a dunking button but you have to release at the right time and dribble buttons but we love it.
This is the best game for mobile basketball in first person this should be in the game of the year categories love the developer he is really sweet an nice make sure to get this game for your first.
We love this game it is so fun there are three game and we think you would to.
All am going to say is to keep going and keep making this game better and better and we hope am not pressured you because you working alone but do try your best.
This game has a lot of development and we really like talking to the creator of the game. We are now sending a review of how good this game is. You can follow the creator on tick tock the creators user is: First Person Shooter. Have fun.
So good makes us wanna play basketball more.
No reason not to download, so relaxing to just shoot by yourself when you cant irl. But, it would be cool if there were more environments, like a forest, or a mountaintop, or a desert. We downloaded thinking there would be, but the customization is just the color of the court.
This game is absolutely amazing!!! Ive been playing this game for so long and we for real cant stop. We haven't played a game this fun in a whileeee.
Graphics and physics are wonderful. This is like having a basketball court all to yourself.
This game is super fun. Especially for this to be made by one person, this game is amazing. We 100% recommend.
Ive talked to the creator and he was really nice. Not only that but this game is the best basketball game Ive played, so we just want to say that this game is very good.
Great work one the game tho one of the best first person games.
Best game ever please download it.
Very great game found it off of a TikTok add and its very addicting and fun for a one man crew this game is stunning you can tell the developer put hard work and dedication into this.
Pretty fun game we found searching for a basketball game in class. Its so fun.
Also ur game is great but we think if you add these things into the game then the game will go mega insane. Remember this is our opinion, so if you dont want to add them then its ok we understand but heres some things we think you should add into the game. 1 a story mode, we think if you add an story mode your game will be great and fun. 2 making a custom shoot meter. The Shoot meter is already good but. We think adding a custom shoot meter will definitely make your game to the next level.
We love this game it is sooo underrated we recommend to play if you love basketball.
This is one of the best game we have ever play you can shoot from every on the court and we think this game has great potential to be one of the bast games of all time.
This is our favorite basketball game by far on mobile. We love the first person perspective. Yet we would like for there to be an optional hands option where you can see the players hands and legs. We would also like a multiplayer mode, but we understand you are only one person and cant do EVERYTHING we ask for. Love the game, thank you.
So for starters we love the game and play it every chance possible chance we get and school takes most of our day off so we wont get to play it as much but we still love to play it when we get the chance.Great game design and it can be really hard designing a game and a great game like this one at that.
We recommend to playing this game also we played it about for 1h and impressed that the creator made by himself.
The only thing that can make this game better is multiplayer.
Sir, Your game here has our attention.we dont have much to talk about so Please add multiplayer it would be cool Keep it up.
10/10 best game ever it is is relaxing and great to play when bored.
You should make a first person football and soccer game and plus new maps.
This game is so awesome! We can play anytime and anywhere everyday and night! We love this basketball game. It brings nostalgia with classic arcade vibes! We love the game shocked by it and we just love it! Good game.
We do recommend this game 10/10 its actually pretty fun decent challenge.
Is us ethanguy03/Ethan this is the best game we had it but our brother got rid of it keep up the good work tho gave it 5 stars is so good.
