How does your game fit the theme?
This game uses the basketball Shotclock as the countdown, needing to make shots before it hits zero

The concept is tons of fun and the public leaderboard made me restart the game more than I can admit.
My only remark is that holes in the ground are really frustrating to navigate when you're supposed to be making shots, having obstacles that remain there is a smart idea but the player should be made aware of them.
Great work and thank you for your submission !
Really fun game, even if it's kinda hard sometimes. The alien design is very funny and you got a nice, consistent artstyle.
Only thing i didn't like that much were the lasers, since you're constantly looking up to the hoop, so it's easily missed where the floor is already gone.
It seems my comment from yesterday got deleted for reasons unknown, I'll try to summarize it:
Very fun concept, I'm impressed you managed to make those graphics run in the web player. Are some elements voxel based ? Either way they looked really cool.
The game got very chaotic and overwhelming really fast but that was part of its charm; I did tryhard for a while and managed to score around 45 in my best attempt, once you get familiar with the ball travel time it gets easier to score 3 pointers again and again (don't pay attention to my actual high score on the leaderboard I might or might not have tinkered with your API and cheated it sorry :O).
Congrats on participating, one of the cooler entries out there for sure !
Really interesting take on the theme i liked it, tho i ran with some performance issues perhaps it was because the web build but otherwise pretty cool game, my only suggestion is adding powerups like freezing time or shooting 2 basketballs at a time or even a golden basketball that grants the player x2 points that would add way more depth to the gameplay.
Pretty fun but I'm also really bad at basketball XD. I most had a heart attack when suddenly theres an orbital strike line above my head
Im really terrible at this game :( (I was never able to keep track of the holes in the ground)
But overall the gameplay is actually pretty nice and polished
Turns out, I'm about as good at basketball games as I am at basketball in real life - that is to day, not good! Though, a fun play either way, though I did find the court disappearing a little bit disconcerting especially at first while trying to figure out how to properly line up a shot
I really love voxel based games, and the voxel physics are really fun! I love how you added a leaderboard too. I know you disclaimed that the first shot will lag, but yeah that is true the first shot did lag a lot lol. I was kind of confused a little bit, but once I got into it it did a good job at keeping me playing. Great game!
Ok, easy, just shot. BUT What is that red line? Why does it move? Stay here. Oh, I may start again… and again.
Could be quite addictive.
note: for the first lag, I think you used GPUParticles. To avoid the lag, either use CPUParticles on web version or execute the particles before running the game. Also learned during this jam in some GMTK discord.
As a fan of basketball, this one caught my eye immediately. Getting shot by alien lasers is definitely an interesting twist!
Although the first shot lag was warned about, it really was disorienting the first time I saw it. I also had some trouble since it didn't have physics I would expect from basketball, mostly when aiming at the board instead of going for three pointers.
Still pretty fun though! I really liked the buzzer beater effect when the time was running out.
Super polished gameplay and addictive game haha
Very well done! :)
It's, like, really addictive and weird (in a good way lol), the whole art style is unique and makes me feel like I'm poisoned or something hahah
Just one issue, it might be a little bit discouraging every time I found myself dropping down for no reason, and I don't know how to get back, even though I'll automatically get back soon.
Are the drops coming from the floor being broken by the laser or are you glitching through the ground? There is a mechanic for the floor breaking and then yeah the space alien will bring you back in. They are honestly kind of hard to see and I ran out of time trying to get a good solution to that. If it is a glitch I'll have to look into fixing that after the jam haha. Thanks for playing!
ok, basketball free throw timers? ok ill be nice and play this boring sports gam **** **** **** ** *** **THERE ARE SPACE LAZERS? 10/10 would play over real basketball games.
ooooh this feels nice. I audibly eeked when I realised why there was a red line pointing at me lol.
I love basketball, and I was surprised that a game was made about it. It was a bit laggy, but it was an interesting game.
I had to play so much to have a respectable score to put 😅I had so much fun, really nice game!
