Early Access Review
it's fun to play, good mechanics. it's worth buying but only if you know it feels like a tech demo, and you're making an investment that maybe it will be good one day. i mean, for 10 bucks it's worth a couple hours of fun. but there's a lot of problems.

defense is impossible. the movement needs to be reworked to be slower, it's like trying to defend a basketball player who can strafe on a dime like quake.

the ball has no physics off the hoop. none. it drops like a rock. and 9/10 times you will kick it out of bounds or let it roll out of bounds because no matter how hard you try you will not pick the ball up off the ground.

this is easily the worst feature: the ball doesn't bounce (which makes rebounds and loose balls weird af) and you cannot pick up the ball off the ground

the netcode is terrible, playing with any ping difference is really bad. the host is fine but connecting to someone elses game feels awful.

being left handed sucks pretty bad too, the controls are not rebindable, so it's almost impossible to move and dribble at the same time. i also find it a lot harder to dribble with the left hand regardless, i make the motion and it just doesn't happen. totally fine on the right hand.

and there's all the general controller glitches and softlocks that come with being a vr early access game.

even though i just said all those negative things about it, overall, i have to recommend it right now because it's fun with a friend to shoot around and try to pass to each other. hopefully development is going to continue to fix the netcode and rework the movement. the game has a ton of potential. if it's the last 10 dollars you have, hold onto it, but if you've got 10 to spend (and lets be honest, you play vr, you do) it's fun for a while to do your best slam dunk contest impression.
