Description
About This Game
You are a kid with your dad's old basketball. The pigeons want a game. The local gym wants proof. The moon has plans. Unfortunately, you are in them.
JUMPSHOT is a pixel-art story RPG where turn-based battles are basketball shootouts. Explore Mochidama and the strange roads beyond it, meet oddball locals, and take on rivals who have absolutely no business holding a basketball.
Choose a layup, midrange jumper or downtown three, then stop the shot meter. Green scores. The tiny gold line is a SWISH. Longer shots bring bigger rewards and tighter timing.
When your opponent shoots, time your block and send it back. Defend, grab a snack or risk one more shot as your HYPE ticks down.
Win battles, level up, find gear and stock up on snacks. Take on roaming challengers and story rivals, explore peculiar places and get tangled in the moon's increasingly questionable schemes. Lose and Mum carries you home. Very supportive. Very embarrassing.
