    This is a game that best played with full players. Pros: Built-in GIF system that can easily save your replays and share them on the internet. Supports up to 4 players on a single keyboard. Cons: Unskippable replay in online play. Both robots' interior layout are the same, without the mirrored layout for the up/down part I feel the green robot always have the advantage on offense at the beginning.

    Insanely hard to control physics based game where you play basketball using your mecha. Controls are horrendous. Game is playable only for coop and more the players, more the fun (or misunderstanding). You can play online but good luck with finding anyone. Hard to recommend but fun factor is high despite the terrible gameplay. Game might have some bugs when playing on 21:9 screen. Play with caution!

    Warnings: 1. There is no single player mode 2. The community is practically dead, you'll be lucky to find 2 to 4 people online to play with, if any 3. If you do manage to start a match the game play is unfortunately pretty slow and clunky Positives: 1. You can play local multiplayer 2. It's almost interesting as a party game In summary: Be sure you actually have people to play this with or you won't even be able to play it at all. ---…

    I was very happy to play it co-op with my partner, until we realised we have to either play against each other, or against other people online. 1 vs 1 was not very fun and there is nobody online, we managed to find 1 opponent but he forfeited after 30 second. The game can probably be great during a party with at least 4 players (2 vs 2) I think it is a missed opportunity from the devs, this game desperately needs an AI to play against. This is the kind of game that "could be awesome if only".…

    It's a good concept - and well executed - but there's just no players any more. I'm sure it'd be fun if you could conjure a large group of friends to play with, but there are so many party games out there that I doubt I'd ever use this as such.

    I'm not great at skill-based games like this, but I believe that more experienced players can find a lot of fun and excitement in it. The mechanics combine basketball with and controlling robot machines, making it unique. Although it can be tricky to master the movements and aiming, it definitely offers tons of fun, competition, and laughs for more skilled players. Note: Completed during the gaming event.

    A fun simple well-made game very suitable for short local co-op sessions. It's basically a platformer arcade with strategic twist - almost a realtime sports-themed FTL, where you take (semi-)control of a gigantic robot with blackface, making sarcastic comments on your playstyle.

    It's pretty difficult to efficiently control your robot human, but that makes it a lot of fun. I am now literally trying to organize a party at our place so that I can get more people to play with. 1v1 is fun, but 2v2 or 3v3 looks much more fun!

    Cool design, fun for local MP. Got boring for my son and myself after about 30 minutes though because we felt like we had experienced everything there is to this. Think I got this one in a bundle, and I don't recommend it at the current $5.00 price point.

    This game has no AI and apparently no online community, so you won't be able to play it unless you can talk some friends you're having over into playing it, and if you try to talk them into doing that, my question for you is: why?

    The concept is interesting. Try to play basketball with huge robots. You control them by jumping into them and pressing different buttons. You can either control the robot alone (which is kind of difficult) or with a friend (makes it easier). Definitely a crazy game that occupies you for some hours.

    This would be on my top 10 most entertaining games of all time if it wasn' t plagued by multiplayer controllers randomly not working. You have 10% chance of getting a 4-player game going with only 4 controllers. I would be willing to pay extra for a fix or any kind. This and Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime needs their own genre tag.

    Regular Human Basketball is hilarious but has one major flaw: No player base. While the game itself is bloody brilliant, there is no single player and there never was anyone online apart from the friends I've played with. Literally zero other players. It's impossible to play this by yourself, you can't even start a game. So as long as you don't have someone else to play this with, don't even bother trying.

    (game not complete with .1 hours of gameplay/non-gameplay at review time, part of my review all my games effort) (short version) Got it on humble, I have no friends that play it. I'd refund if I could as there are no bots to play against and I'm not going to seek out players online for a game that seemingly has none.

    This game kinda rocks - but let's be clear, it only works if you have a few people to play with. Nobody's going to play this very well on the first go, either. You'll be little critters piloting two giant mechs that play, well, regular basketball 1-on-1. Naturally, it's not as simple as all that really... I wish there were a little more to the game - I would enjoy seeing this played competitively!

    I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…
