About Basketball Stars

Basketball Stars is a 2-player basketball game by Madpuffers where players can take on the roles of legendary basketball figures like LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and James Harden. It offers fast-paced basketball action and can be played solo or with a friend. It is noted as the prequel to the game Basketball Legends.

Players can engage in solo play or team up with a friend. The game supports cooperative play, as well as solo matches in 1v2 and 2v2 quick-match formats, and head-to-head games. For a more competitive experience, there is a tournament mode where players aim to become the ultimate basketball legend. The gameplay mechanics include shooting three-pointers, performing alley-oops, and executing epic slam dunks. Players can dash around the court and make epic jump shots. Each character in the game possesses a unique ability, such as a mega dunk, enhanced defense, or a fast break, allowing for strategic team composition.
