In BasketBros, losing the ball doesn't always mean you need to defend better. Sometimes, you just need to knock your opponent out of the way. This 2D basketball game mixes quick shots and big dunks with ridiculous physical clashes, turning an ordinary match into a fight for every possession. One moment you're lining up a three-pointer; the next, you're chasing your rival across the court trying to get the ball back.
How To Play BasketBros
The aim is to score more points than your opponent before the match ends. Getting a clean shot isn't always easy when another player is jumping in your face or trying to steal the ball.
- Move: Get close to the basket before shooting.
- Shoot: Take your chance when the hoop is clear.
- Jump: Go for the ball or block a shot.
- Hit your opponent: Knock them down and grab the ball.
- Keep an eye on the score: Don't give your opponent an easy win.
A Basketball Match With No Chill
BasketBros matches can get messy fast. You might have a clear shot at the hoop, but get knocked down before you can throw the ball. There's plenty of shooting and dunking, but you'll also have to deal with opponents who won't give you an unchallenging chance. The pixel characters and over-the-top fights make the whole thing feel silly rather than serious. Playing against a friend is even better, especially when a match gets close and neither of you wants to lose.
Play Solo or Challenge a Friend
BasketBros gives you a few ways to get on the court. You can take on computer-controlled opponents, work on your shots, or compete against a friend using the same keyboard. Online matches also give you a way to challenge other players, including through private rooms when you want to arrange a game with friends.
Playing against the computer is a handy way to get used to the controls before facing someone who knows how to interrupt every shot. Against a friend, though, things can get personal pretty quickly. Nobody likes losing the ball right before an easy dunk.
f you want more goofy, unpredictable matches after BasketBros, give Soccer Random a try, where one awkward jump can turn the whole game around.
