### 4/5 — The best With not many problems

*2026-05-05*

A great game, but only one problem the controls could be better Other than that amazing for plane trips and things like that

### 4/5 — S

*2024-11-25*

It’s fun but kind of repetitive so it gets boring in some time but a nice game to play once a week or so.

### 3/5 — I’ll be home in a few minutes

*2023-01-22, version 1.3.3*

Yay

### 5/5 — Best game ever (real review not by the game owners) READ BEFORE GETTING APP

This game is so fun it is a bit challenging but it is so fun. It has NO ADDS which is amazing BEFORE GETTING THIS YOU SHOUDL NO YOU NEED A NETFLIX ACCOUNT!!

### 5/5 — Great

*2022-08-19, version 1.3.3*

After playing this game my life was changed

### 3/5 — Blast mode is too hard, target mode is too easy

*2022-07-11*

I can sustain target mode as long as I care to, but I can barely get more than 5 in blast mode. Fun concept though, the difficulty balance is just way off

### 5/5 — Challenging fun

*2022-07-03*

Definitely a learning curve to this. Somehow an hour passed by already

### 5/5 — 중독됨

*2022-06-02*

단순하지만 재미있는 게임!!

### 4/5 — Fun App

*2022-06-02*

I quite enjoy this app and it’s really addicting the one problem is that I got all the skins in the game which doesn’t make it enjoyable anymore. Also I had a dream Netflix made a movie about this game on a girl having a leg disorder but creates a game called shooting hoops and becomes recognised.

### 5/5 — I love this game!

### 4/5 — Yessir

*2022-04-04, version 1.3.3*

Yehawwww

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-02-24*

If you like hard games this is a good one. It’s really hard at first but if you get used to it it is really fun!

### 3/5 — Ok

*2022-02-11, version 1.3.2*

Okokokokokokokokokokooifhfrgg

### 5/5 — Repetitive

*2022-02-05, version 1.3.2*

At first slightly challenging but you get the hang of it within 10 minutes. You get to score of about 100 and realise you could go on forever

### 4/5 — Needs update

*2022-02-05*

I literally beat the game I can’t buy anymore balls pls update with new balls and levels

### 4/5 — Fun and challenging game

*2022-01-30*

This game is a fun time. I wish there was more to it than beating your high score but it’s fun and I play it while watching tv or waiting on a line. It has a cool art style and physics based concept. Good stuff

### 1/5 — too difficult

*2022-03-22*

This game is too difficult! I couldn’t even pass the tutorial. It’s ridiculous…

### 1/5 — Too hard

*2022-01-20, version 1.3.2*

Couldn’t even get past the tutorial

### 1/5 — TOO DIFFICULT!!!!! 😡😡😡

*2021-11-19*

Sure the game may look easy when looking at the pictures, but once you’re actually in the game it’s way harder than it seems. I can’t even get past the first level because every time I try to bounce the ball in the hoop it just doesn’t work. It’s so confusing and no matter where I touch the screen the ball just won’t go in the hoop. I can’t even get the ball barely in the air it’s just too difficult. It’s ridiculous if I could rate it zero stars I would. So yeah I don’t waste your time on this app guys. 🙄🙄🙄

### 1/5 — It’s awful!!!

*2021-11-15*

How does Apple allow this on their store?!  It’s an awful game.  The physics make no sense.  No matter where I hit the ball it was heading straight for the ground.  I could barely get it up in the air.  That happened if I got lucky and it bounced off the wall.  But the ball only bounced down and to the side.  No matter where you tap the screen. I tapped the top of the screen and the ball was slamming into the ground.  Lol.  Please don’t download.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2021-11-15, version 1.3.1*

There is no real tutorial. You can’t get past it. It doesn’t show you how to do anything, so you’re left , in a sense dangling. Terrible of Netflix to put such little thought into what could’ve been a fun app!

### 1/5 — Hard to play

*2021-11-13, version 1.3.1*

Took me 2 min before I gave up trying. 

Maybe instead of this game, maybe fix your Oculus VR app and you know let it play movies in 1080p instead of 480? 

I’m paying for 4K, and not for crappy games.

### 1/5 — Easily top ten WORST download ever

*2021-11-12, version 1.3.1*

I’ve played with calculators that were more fun.

### 1/5 — The Worst Game I Have Ever Played

*2021-11-10*

It took 10 minutes to get one basket just to get past the tutorial, and I am very good at physics-based games. The music is repetitive and annoying, while the UI is very counterintuitive. This is a pathetic excuse of a basketball game, and a bad start for Netflix in the sports gaming realm.

### 2/5 — Boring af

*2022-10-13*

Doesnt get harder just same boring repetitive thing matter what level ur on

### 2/5 — Would be good but has bugs

*2021-11-19*

High score always resets to 29. Super annoying and makes game pointless

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — You gotta get this app

*2026-05-13, version 1.3.4*

It’s so fun and challenging

### 5/5 — Amazing pass time

*2026-01-24*

One mode is hard so if you can’t do it just do the other mode

### 5/5 — JJ

*2025-07-29, version 1.3.4*

JJ  is so good and I can’t stop laughing about this

### 5/5 — Netflix

*2025-07-01, version 1.3.4*

Simple but challenging...
Personally I prefer minimal effort to enjoy.

1 to 10 i give 7
