Ocean life, wobbly waves, and unsteady boats add new challenges to getting your ball in the basket with Boat Basketball.
Boat Basketball offers one hundred and five varied basketball challenges for players to overcome. To do this, you need to aim and choose how much power to put into your throw to put it into the basket. This might only be a little challenging normally, but these challenges have been placed on cheerful boats floating upon a choppy sea. This means you’ll need to take the rocking of your boat and the movements of the net into account as well.
Boat Basketball isn’t content to stop there. Along with all the movement, you’ll need to factor jumping fish, colossal whales, pesky seagulls, and all manner of sea life into your shot as well, using them to knock your shot into the net or throwing in such a way that you avoid them. It’s a lot to think about as you take each shot, but given just how cute everything is, it’s hard to get mad at the game if you miss your throw. You might feel guilty about thumping a chipper little fish with it, though.
If you want to share these adorable settings and creatures (and some cunning challenges) with a friend, Boat Basketball also has a multiplayer mode where you can both take shots on some difficult-to-reach baskets. The game offers an additional fifty-two wavy multiplayer levels for you to work out with a local buddy.
Boat Basketball is a challenging, yet charming series of b-ball challenges that will help you earn your sea legs.
Boat Basketball is available for $9.99 on Itch.io and Steam.
