“バスケットボールを基調にしたアクションゲーム。音楽も良くシナリオも短いので気分転換にいい作品です。隠れてはいますがオススメの一品。願わくば続編を作って頂きたい作品です。”

“A rare sports based game that makes you reflect on life.”

“The basketball mechanic looks quite slick but the flashes of narrative [will be] the heart of this one.”

About This Game

BasketBelle is an experimental 2D basketball-based platformer. Each Chapter of the game uses the mechanics and idea of basketball in a different way. At one point you might be dribbling inside the intestines of a purple blob creature. At others, you're likely to be dunking above the clouds in front of the Parisian moon.

A dynamic soundtrack and unique cardboard visuals help tell the story of a sister who must be saved through the power of basketball.

Key Features

Dunk, dribble, and crossover through 8 Chapters spanning throughout the impromptu courts of Paris
Each Chapter takes the mechanics of basketball and applies them in different ways. Some chapters are more action, some are more puzzle. And then there are the strange chapters.
Music is tied directly to the gameplay, though it's all passively controlled. For example, every time you dribble, you hear a bass hit. Shoot the ball, and the percussion stops.
Visuals in the game are a unique mix of cardboard and color, every scene popping off the screen.
