Gameplay is generally well-received, with players enjoying the overall experience, but they note several issues such as janky movement and subpar Valve Index support. While the shooting mechanics can feel realistic with practice, the lack of a jumping mechanic and reliance on teleportation detracts from the fluidity of movement. Overall, the game is recommended, especially for those using Oculus Touch controllers.
“As far as the shooting mechanics using Oculus Touch controllers, with a bit of practice and switching the button used to hold the ball to the palm, it can feel pretty much the same as shooting a basketball in real life.”
“Very good game, but there are a couple of issues. The movement is very janky; if you didn't have to teleport, it would be way better, as well as having a jumping mechanic. If you don't play Quest to PC, by all means, download this game. It's very good, just janky.”
“It hasn't been updated since August, the Valve Index support is trash, and the shooting mechanics aren't that realistic.”
