Basketball Stars

Unlike other basketball games that focus on simulation, Basketball Stars focuses on confrontation and instant strategy.

Guide to play

Clear rules

Basketball Stars matches last exactly 1 minute. You need to score more points than your opponent before the time runs out. In 1v1 or 2v2 modes, you can hold the ball to attack, make a shot or break through, or defend, block shots, and steal the ball. If the ball is taken away or you are blocked, control can be transferred to the opponent.

Dash through the gap or dodge attacks quickly

Skilled Controls

In Basketball Stars, you control the character with the movement keys. Double-tap the direction of movement to dash, allowing you to dash through the gap or dodge attacks quickly. Other keys are used to throw/steal the ball, block / defensive momentum, and activate special moves when enough energy. Special moves (e.g., power throw, high jump, super defense) can turn the game at the right time.

Game Modes & Interface

Basketball Stars has many modes:

• Tournament: go through the qualifying rounds to the finals
• Quick Match / Random Match: quick match against the computer or other players
• Training: no pressure on scores, helps to get used to the operations and tactics
• Local Multiplayer (1v1 or 2v2): play with friends on the same device or shared keyboard

The scores of both teams are displayed at the top of the screen, and the countdown timer is clear in the middle to create a sense of tension. If you want to join more sports games, you can play Ball Orbit, where you use a baseball bat to hit the ball as far as possible, trying to reach the target.
