How it feels

A fast, quirky arcade basketball game where you build a team of weird local characters and chain clutch critical hits through roguelike runs.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a fun, janky roguelike basketball game for a low price, while others find it unplayably hard after the first level, with terrible passing, no tutorial, and AI teammates that do nothing. A recurring frustration is that progress does not save between sessions.
