Keep Making More Of These Games.
Im 14 now and we have been playing this since we were 9-10 years old and we mean its very enjoyful. The modes you can play in are very creative and we think they should make another version of this. Overall: its a very good game and definitely more than 5 stars.
Games great just needs online mode.
We love all the modes already but it needs a versus mode, and you need to be able have free aim or meter aim for EVERY MODE. There should be an option in settings where you can switch which aim you need, and we need a 1v1 and a 2v2 mode. Thank you.
We love the game but it makes us Mad because it is terrible.
Great game we loved it in 2 days ya know you could add dunking 1v1 games other than that the game is great and this iPad is like the oldest one.
We honestly really enjoy the game the only bad thing Ive experienced so far is that fork time to time Ill get kicked out of the game but other than that its an amazing game.
This game is so cool even on horse game mode but it would be fun if we can dribble not just shoot but its a great shooting game good job to the creators.
This game is so good we give a big to the creators….. Great job.
The game is awesome we feel but sometimes shuts down while we are trying to play. Great game but we hope they will fix it.
Good game but sometimes shuts down on our while Im playing please fix Thais problem then we will rate game 5 stars.
This game is great and takes up time when it needs. Please add dunking. That would be a really cool and enjoyable feature as well as 1v1s.
So we tried getting in but Im never works this is a total waste of time to us tell us if it works for u otherwise this game is a total garbage can we mean the whole set up without the line is broken come on bro.
The timed shooting is broken after you make a basket or even after shooting just one shot that misses the arrows just shoot red from either straight up or just straight down.
Its an ok game but every time Im in the middle of a game it crashes and logs us out and they should also add dunking.
Good game but its way to hard to get credits u have to play so many games to get so little exp to level up to 100 and it only gives you one credit thats ridiculous.
Why does it crash immediately right after we open it, im sure its a good game because we used to play it all the time but this problem needs to be fixed asap.
Our phone works perfectly fine but whenever we load it it crashes right away you have the most retarded game ever we bet it is good if we can even play it we re downloaded it multiple times and it keeps crashing.
Yall need to fix yall game keep crashing bruh Im on a iPhone 5.
This game doesnt 1v1 and you keep getting blocked and they cheat us in horse.
You cant use the free aim controls for every mode which is retarded and not explained. Theres no learning curve you just get on and lose. The arc for the free aiming controls doesnt always appear.
The cpu is always making crazy shots and easy ones but we cant make them it is so trash.
We dont like the game because it logs you out.
We hate this game it is so bad we didnt want to give it 1.
The CPU on horse is impossible to beat.he shoot in the air randomly and actually makes it.
It's a good game but it would be so much better if the players were able to dunk and cross people up there should be control button where u can move the players there should be a control button where u can dribble the ball and dunk.
HOW CAN PEOPLE PLAY HORSE IF THE COMPUTER TAKES THE MKSR RETARDED SHOTS THAT MOST PEOPLE CANNOT TAKE WITHOUT MISSING THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS AND FIX THE GAME.
It is so fun im not even lying. We were entertained for hours, and had so much fun Favorite features: stats horse create a player trick shot Ideas: career mode ( shoot off against other teams there are 14-82 games and you could get awards, have a trophy room and win the championship) 1on1 mode, ( you play defense and offense against cpu) online mode ( face off against other online players and have a tab for your win loss record and stats online Overall we give (8/10) very fun and exciting, all modes are fun.
Give it an online PvP that would be awesome.
This game is a very awesome game! It is like an alternative to basketball, since we've got this game(yesterday) we've already hit 100% in PIG. But this game is missing the most important thing, 1v1 Games of blocking &a shooting.
Our friend told us about this game and we decided to try it out and it's one of our favorite games ever their are a couple mini games u can play and it's really a fun game.
We love this game, our only suggestion is to add online multiplier.
This game definitely doesn't get the recognition it deserves. It's a simple concept, but beautifully made, and crazy addicting. The developer listens to feedback and keeps this app bug free. We have had a blast making some crazy shots. We can't wait to see what comes in the future from this developer.
Easy and fun mechanics to a simple basketball game. Different game modes make this game hard to not get addicted. Trick shots is awesome and allows you to share replays! Great game dev.
