Quick and Easy to Play Competitive PvP sports action 🏀 Available on IOS & Android 📱 By @PlayAcidGames
TLDR:
Clean graphics and animations
Easy-to-grasp controls
Limited player base
Energy restrictions are too harsh
How to play
Playable on mobile
Free to play (to a point)
Game Loop
It is basketball with beasts
You take control of a beast and play on a 2d court
The winner scores the most baskets
You can shoot, jump, and use your special
Each beast has its unique specials, which have differing effects
As you win, you collect trophies.
These trophies unlock further beasts as well as different game modes
I played two game modes: normal and flying
The flying mode is played on a larger court, and you can fly following jumping
Each game takes about three to four minutes
Game feel
First impressions are good, with an engaging art style and clean animations.
The gameplay is easy to pick up.
Sadly, the player base isn’t there yet, and I spent the entire time playing against bots.
The bots can be easily cheesed, which did make it a little repetitive
The game required some skilled play when actively avoiding cheesing, yet it still leans more into the fun casual style.
Progression to extra beasts and modes is a good motivator to continue playing.
However, the energy system is too harsh, not giving the player enough starting games to find it sticky.
The energy also doesn’t replenish automatically, besides three free energy drinks plus nine for watching ads.
Rating
The game does have potential, and the look is clean and appealing
The lack of a player base holds it back
Without enough energy to get “invested” in progress, many people just put the game down.
It could be some party-style fun if you played with friends.
