Basket Random: One Key, First to Five Points Wins
📚 Guide: Head Ball Games: Free Head Soccer and Sports
What is Basket Random?
After every point the court, the players and the ball are redrawn. One round hands you a giant ball, the next puts you on a slippery floor. The whole thing runs on one key per player, so a friend joins the match in a second.
How to play
Hold one key and your player raises an arm and jumps, then throws the ball the moment you let go. Each point reshuffles the court: the hoop may rise, the ball may swell, the floor may turn slippery. First to five points wins the match. With no friend around you play the computer, and with one you split a single keyboard.
Controls
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| W | Player one: jump and shoot |
| Up arrow | Player two: jump and shoot |
| Touch | On a phone or tablet each player taps their own half |
Tips
- How long you hold the key sets your jump height: short from distance, long under the hoop.
- Do not jump while the ball sits with your rival, since hanging in the air usually hands them the point.
- Treat the first shot after every point as a test throw, then work out the new ball's weight.
