FunkyHoops App Review
FunkyHoops is a freestyle 2on2 basketball game with a very easy playing screen. When you first open up the application you get a quick game or league play, which they are pretty much self explanatory as to what they contain. There is also three different difficultly levels (easy, medium, hard) which provides for more challenging games. There are 6 teams to choose from with varying stats as to how good each team is. League play gives you 10 weeks worth of games to be played and try to win the championship at the end!
This game gives you a tutorial option before each game in case you have never played before or you have forgotten something. There are only 3 functional controls on the main screen: directional keypad, pass/block, and shoot/steal. These controls can get pretty confusing at certain points in the game but you will most likely get used to it if you keep playing. This game also has options on the top of the screen that allow you to pause, switch between 3 different camera angles, turn music on or off, and exit the game.
The gameplay is good but it is slow-paced as you are on either side (offense or defense) with the dunks and the blocking especially. This game definitely has a lot of potential because it is a great idea for an iPhone application and a good starting interface, I will look forward to updates to this app in the near future with maybe different time of day or different courts. Also something I would love to see in this app is the ability to customize your own player and maybe even your own court, that would be awesome!
This app will cost you $2.99 and you can buy it below:
