Basket Battle 12+

You guys should add a way so we can play with our friends. Y’know, in a friendly 1v1

I can’t possibly fathom how someone can make a game so lazily. This is one of the most simplistic games ever, and yet they still can’t make it work properly.

For starters, the goal sensors are horrifically bad. For both you and the AI, the game will often not detect that a goal has been scored. Additionally, you can sometimes score from below the net by just hitting the bottom of the rim. I have never seen anything work this badly in a video game before, especially not one of the most important parts of said game.

Secondly, there are very few maps. Like, 5 or 6 of them. These maps are so easy to make, you just put the net somewhere, then place a couple of squares. More than half of the maps contain less than 5 tiles. Because of this, you are constantly cycling between the same few maps, which get old quite quickly.

Third, there is no variation in reward for each level. It doesn’t matter how much you win by, or what your score is, you get the same 50 coins every single game. It’s crazy how something so small can have such a huge impact on the feel of the game.

Now I’ll just list some missing features or otherwise unsatisfactory things about this game.
There are only 9 cosmetics that you can buy with coins, the rest are only available through watching ads. It doesn’t take long to start stacking up on coins with nothing to spend them on.
There is no progression of difficulty. The AI seem to be given a random difficulty every game, which contributes more to the feeling that there’s no progress whatsoever.
At the end of every game, you have the opportunity to watch up to 4 ads for rewards… and if you choose not to, you have to wait a few seconds before you can decline the offer. The amount of time spent in between levels really builds up, and is incredibly annoying - keep in mind, this is without even considering the constant ads that pop up if you have wifi on.
There is only one game mode, and you never get any challenges or anything for there to be any variation in what you’re doing. Even games like Dune! by VooDoo (a company notorious for making low effort games) have numerous challenge levels with at least some variation for you. How hard would it be to put a little timer in the corner and have you try to score X number of goals, or get X number of points.
Lastly, the developers spent their time animating a stupid little dance for your character to do when you equip a new cosmetic. This is more a pet peeve than an actual issue, but the dance is stupid and makes me want to punch my character in the face, which sadly isn’t a feature of the game. It just shows how the people who made this game decided to spend their time animating a dance instead of adding desperately-needed bugfixes for the gameplay.

Supporting games like this motivates game developers to create low effort games filled with ads to make as much money as they can without actually needing to do any work. Games like these are the problem with the mobile gaming industry, and it frustrates me to see how many of them there are.

A game will last between 30 seconds and a minute but this mf will find a way to squeeze 3 adds in that. 3 ADS IN 30 SECONDS
