Basket Random Unblocked — Play Free Online

Big Shot Boxing is about timing a single punch. Basket Random is built on the same idea, applied to basketball: you get exactly one button, and everything depends on when you press it. RHM Interactive made it as a 2D ragdoll sports game, and the loose, wobbly physics are the point. Players fall over, bounce off the rim and sometimes score by accident.

One key per team

Each side controls two players at once. Player 1 presses W and Player 2 presses the Up arrow. Holding or tapping the key makes your pair jump and throw their arms forward. If a player is near the ball, that swing grabs it; if they already have it, the swing throws it toward the hoop. On touch screens there are on-screen jump buttons instead.

Click inside the game frame once before you start so the keyboard reaches it.

Why it is called Random

After every basket the game reshuffles the next point. The court can change, your players can get longer arms or bigger heads, and the ball itself can change. A setup that suited you one point can work against you on the next, so no match plays out the same way twice. First to five points wins.

Modes

• 1 Player: you against the computer. Good for learning the jump rhythm.
• 2 Player: two people on one keyboard, one on W and one on the Up arrow. This is where most of the laughs come from.

What actually helps

• Do not hold the key all the time. Long presses make your players go stiff and flip. Short taps keep them upright and moving.
• Wait for the bounce. When the ball drops between the four players, the side that jumps a moment later usually wins it, because the other pair is already falling.
• Shoot from close range. Throws from mid-court look great when they go in, but rebounds near the rim score more often.
• Use the defence swing. A jump under the opponent's arm can knock the ball loose before they release it.

Quick to start

Basket Random is an HTML5 game, so it runs in the browser on laptops, Chromebooks and phones without a download or account. A full match takes about as long as a Big Shot Boxing bout.
