Community Insight:
JJ is so good and we cant stop laughing about this.
This is a really good game ! No ads ! That is the BEST ! If you love playing games and you have to watch an ad after your level you get so annoyed ! Anyway , if you dont have this game , get it today , and you wont regret it ! Have a lovely rest of your day.
This game is so entertaining and fun. We recommend if your bored or just want something to do.
Personally we think this game is fun, idk how people talk about the controls because it literally says wacky control in the description so hate the haters. Our favorite thing about this NO ADDS.
We got 73 points can you believe that we really feel like this game motivates us and others.It helps put a smile on our face . Keep up the good work and have a blessed day.
Its fun but kind of repetitive so it gets boring in some time but a nice game to play once a week or so.
So Im a girl Im broad bird in the game and its amazing ALSOOOOOOOO the balls are cool.
This game is so fun it is a bit challenging but it is so fun. It has NO ADDS which is amazing BEFORE GETTING THIS YOU SHOUDL NO YOU NEED A NETFLIX ACCOUNT.
Definitely a learning curve to this. Somehow an hour passed by already.
If you like hard games this is a good one. Its really hard at first but if you get used to it it is really fun.
We can sustain target mode as long as we care to, but we can barely get more than 5 in blast mode. Fun concept though, the difficulty balance is just way off.
Its even better than our favorite app hahaha by the way its AMAZING hehehe very good and a wonderful next time make more effort but it is still very good good for you.
The best game Ive ever played. Im addicted to it. Cant stop playing.
This game is a fun time. We wish there was more to it than beating your high score but its fun and we play it while watching tv or waiting on a line. It has a cool art style and physics based concept. Good stuff.
Very fun game. We cant understand the salty reviews about it being too hard. That being said, its impossible to see your past high scores in the game. How do we even find it.
Ok so all the replies here were complaining about how to get it to work without ever explaining it! It was confusing cuz they give absolutely NO actual tutorial on how to make it work but heres how: the target thingy you can move with your finger is what you use to move the basketball. Place it under the ball and then keep hitting it up and try to steer the ball in the hoop. Anyways, the game is OK, but it could be better. Not really much to keep your attention for very long. The colors were nice, and the concept is decent enough.
We like to play this game in Target mode but blast mode has proven to be almost impossible. What is really missing from the game is high scores! Its the reason most people keep playing a game is to beat the high score! It would also be cool if you could see the high scores from the other profiles on your account.
We enjoyed it. Not that hard fun pass time.
We really enjoy this game and it becomes easier once you get the hang of it.With that being said we can only use the target mode as blast mode is to difficult to navigate.But when we use target mode the game is generally great for being fairly new,and also the art in this game is really three dimensional and we think that adds a nice aspect to it.
This game is fun and cool. Has a purpose and is very bright. Although at first the game doesnt make any sense, with time youll get better. If you have a Netflix subscription you should try it.
Sure the game may look easy when looking at the pictures, but once youre actually in the game its way harder than it seems. We cant even get past the first level because every time we try to bounce the ball in the hoop it just doesnt work. Its so confusing and no matter where we touch the screen the ball just wont go in the hoop. We cant even get the ball barely in the air its just too difficult. Its ridiculous if we could rate it zero stars we would. So yeah we dont waste your time on this app guys.
How does Apple allow this on their store?! Its an awful game. The physics make no sense. No matter where we hit the ball it was heading straight for the ground. We could barely get it up in the air. That happened if we got lucky and it bounced off the wall. But the ball only bounced down and to the side. No matter where you tap the screen. We tapped the top of the screen and the ball was slamming into the ground. Lol. Please dont download.
There is no real tutorial. You cant get past it. It doesnt show you how to do anything, so youre left , in a sense dangling. Terrible of Netflix to put such little thought into what couldve been a fun app.
Took us 2 min before we gave up trying. Maybe instead of this game, maybe fix your Oculus VR app and you know let it play movies in 1080p instead of 480? Im paying for 4K, and not for crappy games.
Ive played with calculators that were more fun.
It took 10 minutes to get one basket just to get past the tutorial, and we are very good at physics-based games. The music is repetitive and annoying, while the UI is very counterintuitive. This is a pathetic excuse of a basketball game, and a bad start for Netflix in the sports gaming realm.
