What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise this VR basketball game for its simple concept, multiple game modes, and leaderboard features that encourage competitive play and rhythm-based shooting. However, significant complaints center on janky physics, controller offset issues (particularly with HP VR headsets), unfriendly rim interactions that prevent natural ball rolls, and the requirement for considerable free space including ceiling height, making it feel more like an early tech demo than a polished experience.

A basic tech demo , its not a Simulation at all, the Physics are too janky. Early Shovelware.1 found this helpful
simply amazing
First, the positives: - It's basketball - It's VR - There's Easy & Hard mode, so casual & challenging times - Garbage Time lets you shoot trash in garbage cans - Another mode let's you throw paper airplanes through rings - It does seem to follow a natural shot motion pretty well, and works with other throws/tosses - There are leaderboards, both on Steam it appears and personal - You can establish a rhythm with your shot, and with bad VR mechanics I don't think that would be possible Now, the negatives: - The heel of the rim I don't think a single time has let a ball roll forward into the hoop. I understand my shot physics are at play in that, but it's pretty unfriendly how it interacts with the ball - I'm pretty sure fire effects have an effect on the ball as well making it more challenging to get into the hoop. I could be wrong, but it feels like it at times like the flames are colliding - It's definitely a park rim IYKYK - The tire iron in the garbage mode I don't think ever went in a can, breaking any streak I was on at the time - Missed opportunity for moving rims around while shooting, but then again... with these rims it probably wasn't going to happen to begin with For $6…
Brilliantly simple fun. Especially recommended for challenging friends and having a laugh.
Bad physics and no force to hit the targets in the back played on Oculus.
