Basketball Classics

The Developer Says...

5 on 5 Pro Basketball born from the golden era of sports games. This spiritual successor to the 8-bit ballers bridges the gap between retro and today’s simulation games. Side-scrolling, sweaty arcade action with simplified 3-button gameplay and retro vibes galore.

Players Like...

❤ Simplified, Arcade-Style Controls

The game features a streamlined 3-button control scheme of pass, shoot/rebound, and switch player. This intuitive setup enables fast-paced, arcade-style gameplay reminiscent of beloved 8-bit basketball titles like Double Dribble.

❤ Unique Dunking Mechanic

Driving to the hoop triggers a "rock-paper-scissors" style mini-game, where players must time their button presses to successfully throw down a powerful slam dunk. This adds an extra layer of skill and strategy around attacking the rim, as players weigh the risk/reward of attempting a dunk versus taking a safer jump shot.

❤ Attribute-Driven Player Differences

Each player has a unique set of attributes, such as offensive/defensive speed, shooting ability, and rebounding prowess. These tangible differences between superstars and role players force players to learn their team's strengths and exploit favorable matchups.

❤ Dynamic Play Calling

As players reach the half-court line, they can choose from one of three pre-designed plays to immediately set up their offense. This dynamic play calling system allows for more strategic, up-tempo gameplay, as players must anticipate the right time and place to call specific plays.

❤ Satisfying Shooting Feedback

The shooting mechanics provide clear feedback on the likelihood of a successful attempt. A dynamic shot meter, coupled with player-specific attributes, makes jump shots feel rewarding to time and execute properly.
