That's a legit horror game and I'm glad I got to experience it during a game jam. All of the aspects from the UI to the gameplay, sounds and overall feeling of horror were absolutely clean and polished. The physics were very satisfying and got me hooked from the first throw. The gameplay was so addictive I played for about 15 minutes and only managed to get 6 or 7 hoops but it was very satisfying. As I was so immersed in trying to score I completely forgot about the potential danger of going outside and literally jumped off my seat when the man appeared. Can't give this any less than a perfect score.

When the jam was announced I was thinking how am I going to make something sports related and still make it atmospheric and β€œHorror” was my other jam games. So thanks for checking it out and for your incredibly positive response :)

Pretty spooky, got me to nearly leave the building before the fella came in, didn't get jumpscared tho :P (also ball might need a bit more weight)

I ran out of time to fine tune the impact of the ending chase. I also spent too much time in the early days on the ball physics I had to move on but I never got back round to looking at it.

Wow the atmosphere is great! I'm not going to lie though I was pretty terrible at shooting the ball lol. I would say add a way to aim your shot (like a line), but that might ruin the spooky atmosphere. I just need to get better I think lool. 

Walking into the school was scary as hell, and that first scare after getting a couple shots really got me lol

I did contemplate the idea of a aim reticle of some sorts but I figured it would be spookier to have a bit of challenge without one

good game!

Yeah, I like making HQ looking games for these jams but I wanted to nail the atmosphere with this particular one and by the sounds of it I think I've done so.

This game was absolutly terrifying. I enjoyed it a lot. The graphics are amazing, the sounds are great. and the story is terrifying. I tried to get all endings but wasn't able to get 5 & 6. I tried everything, I even got to 150 dunks. But it was still an amazing game.

Loved it. Keep it upβ™₯

I'm glad you liked it and 5 especially can take a lot of work but 6 should be simple enough if you aim for the head :
