Our take on Basketball Madness
The defining setup combines hoop shooting with active threats: players must keep scoring while distracting enemies, using defensive weapons, and handling effects that change the ball, hoop, or clock.
What is Basketball Madness?
Basketball Madness is a VR basketball arcade game built around shooting hoops while dealing with distractions and attacks.
The standard mode sets a timer and tracks scoring. A 1v1 mode adds an AI opponent whose difficulty can be selected; shots can be deflected, and a special ball can freeze the opponent temporarily. Power-ups appear as crystals near the hoop and can alter the ball, hoop, or game time. Court mode moves the hoop progressively across different positions, while another mode uses hoops at varying heights and includes blocking hands. In survival play, a beaver attacks the hoop and a Stone Creature throws rocks, requiring a flaming arrow, bat, and crossbow while scoring.
