You spent more time trying to time the shot than actually enjoying the game. And then, there are VIDEO Ads if you want to try again 🤦🏻‍♂️. Jesus Christ as if we need more ads on everything we do thats supposed to relax us. My time is precious to sit and watch an ad for a game that has terrible mechanics. ### 5/5 — Add multiplayer please!!🙏😩 *2026-03-28, version 1.2.9* The game right now is a lot of fun, but the game would be so much more fun if multiplayer was added to the game , please bring multiplayer in the game🙏🙏😩 ### 5/5 — Is this still cared for? *2025-09-15, version 1.2.8* I used to play this game alot in 2023 and i found their TikTok account but they stopped posting along time ago and ever since i haven’t been kept up with this game i wanna get back into it yk js a chill vibing game that i can watch Netflix while playing it but i still want more updates to this game maybe some dribbling not advanced but a button you can press for a tween or cross over yk or different maps and more modes maybe a 1v1 mode against an ai i loved this game and see alot of potential for growth but it seems they gave up on it ### 5/5 — Yeeeee *2025-04-17, version 1.2.8* This game is the best basketball game I have played but this game needs like a 1on1 or a 2on2 would be awesome ### 5/5 — Perfect like low taper fade *2025-02-28, version 1.2.8* Btw it will always be massive Good game = good boy 2024 December ### 3/5 — Needs better controls *2025-02-07, version 1.2.8* As a player of the game and the 4th ranked globally I can say with all honesty that this game is addictive, however this game needs attention primarily in the arena of the controls, the shooting meter especially on angled shots or short shots is not as honed as it can be thus making other angled shots more difficult than needed. To keep the player engaged, I recommend you address to make it more enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing game *2025-01-25, version 1.2.8* This game is very fun and I play it on a daily basis. This game is good for killing time and distracting yourself from the world. This is one of if not, THE greatest basketball games I’ve played so far. I love the game don’t get me wrong, BUT.. it does get boring after a little while of playing. The reasons being: the court in my opinion doesn’t feel big enough, the movement is pretty basic and bland (still good tho) and I feel like there’s not really many things to do and it’s kind of the same thing every time I play, So I have some suggestions for your game, it would be really cool if you added some of or one of these ideas but im not forcing any pressure on you. Suggestion 1: I think a bigger court or a system where you can move up to/unlock different looking courts with different sizes. Suggestion 2: I think this one is pretty basic but would be pretty cool to have, a day/night/sunset setting where you can change the time would be pretty cool and fit the mood in certain situations. Suggestion 3: in general I think a re work of the movement and UI would be great including adding more ball skins/hoop skins, a cool ball skin for an example would be a black ball with white stripes instead of normal black ones like with a normal brown ball. and also a weather changing option would be perfect for the day/night cycle to. these are all my suggestions and my opinions on what should be added to the game. Love the game tho and I hope to see one of these things added some day! ### 5/5 — Kobe Bean!!! *2024-11-19, version 1.2.7* I’m 38 and I’m no Lebron this is a great way for me to feel like I still got it without breaking a sweat. ## Frequently asked questions about First Person Hooper ### What is First Person Hooper?
