BasketBelle

I guess this game is pretty nice... most of the time. Sometimes the levels are a little bit too hard, but not in cause of the gameplay, it's because of the controlling. It doesn't feel so right, especially in the first level (the first level is a long level, most of the time platforming). The story is interesting and overall it's a good game for an evening. You can skip levels or choose the level you want to play after starting the first level, so that's a nice option if you have problems with something. Hm. I'm not sure if I should like it or not. But because of the artstyle, the atmosphere and the story I would recommend it. And the gameplay is okay.

ok little Basketball Relationship platformer adventure game rating negative because I can't rly recommend it for the original price, maybe wait for a sale if you want to check it out + 4 fast Steam achievements + multiple Endings (at least 3) [but only 2 or 3 changed text lines, so not rly worth] - Settings not saved upon restart / sending data enabled by deafault

BasketBelle is an awesome little basketball adventure. I picked it up as part of Indie Royale's Harvest Bundle way back around 2012, and it was easily one of my favourite games of that year. I picked it up again recently to give it another go and grab the achievements, and was reminded just how good it is. It's extremely short, clocking in at about an hour at most. And the controls are really simple - you've got left and right movement, jumping/shooting the ball, sliding, and fakeout shots. That's it. But BasketBelle is a clear example of how quality shines over quantity - it might just be an hour, but it'll be a highly enjoyable and engrossing hour, and to me that is absolutely worth the price of admission. Every chapter changes things up and incorporates Basketball into the game in a different way. You'll go up against humans, weird blob creatures, traverse the insides of a weird blob creature after getting gobbled up, and so much more. As you go through the game you also get these cool little flashes of narrative involving love, hardships, and family; and it's engrossing all the way through. I don't know how to describe the visual style because I've never really seen anything else like it, but it's absolutely beautiful. As is the music - easily one of my favourite parts of the game (and the soundtrack is included, by the way), and the beat is synced up with the basketball dribbles, which is pretty awesome. All in all, if you have an hour or so and want to check out something cool and unique, I definitely recommend Basketbelle, even for the $5. There are so many games out there these days that in my mind quality of hours is exponentially more important than quantity, and Basketbelle is a special experience that I don't think you'll regret checking out.

interesting idea, but i didnt really like it. it was boring, didnt feel that great and was really short :/

Really nice game, quite short but it made me feel something and that means a lot to me. I was invested in characters. Basketball theme is very refreshing in video games that are not directly about sports. I also liked music in some levels, I will probably listen to it on my own in the future. Only negative thing is that I got stuck two times and looked up gameplay on youtube to unstuck myself (solutions were easy I was just not so smart). If you want something short, artistic and fun to play. Pick this up! (You will also get soundtrack and PDF with sketches which adds nice value for the price).

Excelente jogo. Histórica fantástica, gráfico super lindo e criativo. Um jogo de basquete de plataforma, que faz algo de inovador e que deu super certo. Venci em pouco menos de 1h, o que para mim é mais um positivo do que um negativo, mas vale ressaltar que o jogo é curto.
