Can I play Head Basketball with a friend?

Yes — 2 Player mode lets two people share one keyboard, either on the same team in 2v2 or as opponents in 1v1.

How do I do a super-shot?

Player 1 presses V and Player 2 presses K. Super-shots are powerful, so use them when the opponent is out of position.

Double-tap your movement key in the direction you want to burst — D for Player 1, Left Arrow for Player 2.

What happens if the match is tied?

If the score is level when the timer reaches zero, the game goes to overtime to decide a winner.

Is there a single-player mode?

Yes — play solo through a tournament, practice in training, or jump into a random Quick Match against an NPC.

How to Play Head Basketball

Pick your big-headed athlete and take the court in 1v1 or 2v2 basketball. Choose 1 Player mode for a tournament run or a training session, Quick Match for an instant game against an NPC, or 2 Player mode to share one keyboard with a friend as teammates or rivals. Outscore your opponent before the timer hits zero — if it's tied at the buzzer, the match goes to overtime. Time your jumps to block shots, dash past defenders with a double-tap, and charge the super-shot for guaranteed fireworks.

Controls

Player 1: WASD to move, B to shoot, S to pump fake, V for the super-shot, double-tap D to dash. Player 2: Arrow keys to move, L to shoot, Down Arrow to pump fake, K for the super-shot, double-tap Left Arrow to dash.

Strategies

Getting blocked constantly? Use the pump fake

Opponents time their jumps to swat your shot. A quick pump fake (S or Down Arrow) sends the defender flying while you step in for an uncontested release.

Block at the peak, not on the way up

Jumping too early is the most common defensive mistake. Wait until the shooter commits, then leap so your big head meets the ball at the top of its arc.

Dunks and mega dunks can't miss

When you are close to the rim, a mega dunk scores with no chance of failure. Use the dash (double-tap move key) to close the distance before the defense recovers.

Win the timer, not just the scoreboard

Matches have a fixed clock and ties force overtime. Holding a one-basket lead and burning time with safe possession is often smarter than forcing low-percentage shots.
