Feeling tired of the same old basketball games? Backyard Hoops is a rusty little sim that tries to be fun but sometimes feels wonky and frustrating. The controls are tricky to master. It’s an addiction that keeps pulling you back even if it’s annoying at times.
Backyard Hoops has a neat concept but the physics can get wonky fast. The ball bounces unpredictably, making shots feel random. The moves are simple, but some mechanics are tricky to pull off. It’s not polished, but easy enough to pick up and play in short bursts.
There’s not much depth in character customization. You can pick simple stats, but it won’t make a huge difference. Most players just pick what looks least annoying. It’s not about the builds, just about timing and guesswork more than anything.
One secret is to master the quick shot button. It might be annoying to press repeatedly, but it speeds up scoring. Don’t bother overthinking your moves. Just keep trying shots from anywhere. That’s how you get better, or at least score more often.
The game doesn’t really have a story. It’s just you running around shooting hoops. The ending feels anticlimactic. Most of the time, you just keep playing to improve or beat your high score. It’s simple, maybe too much so, but enough to waste a few minutes or hours.
