Regular Human Basketball
Genres: Action, Fighting, Simulation and Sports
Released: August 2018. Added to this library 4 months ago, last updated 8 weeks ago.
Overview
Regular Human Basketball is a very different sports game. You play basketball by jumping around inside the robot players to control their moves. It sounds both strange and hard work, but in reality it's a lot of fun.
Where this really comes to life is played co-operatively or competitively with other people. By getting your character to the move, jump, attack buttons inside each robot you can pull off basketball moves. But because of the strange and awkward controls, it's a game where players must plan ahead and work together to win.
The controls are a bit like Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime and the game plays quite like Super Pole Riders. If you have a few controllers attached to your computer it's a great game for all the family.
