About
Dunk Dunk is a basketball game unlike any other, mixing a unique cartoony aesthetic, and the strategy and precision of basketball with the chaotic fun of multiplayer arena platforming action, making for some nail-bitingly tense matches.
Play alone, with a friend, or a house full of friends. Dress up your mascots and dunk basketballs, balloons, or even anvils in crazy locations from all over the universe like space stations, dinosaur parks, and haunted houses. It’s dunk or be dunked (on).
Key Features
- Easy to Pick Up – Plays like your favorite platformer with familiar and simple controls meaning anyone can take to the court and start dunking.
- Master Your Ball Control
- Aim and Throw – Total 360° analogue arm control allows you to AIM, THROW, and slam DUNK the ball at the exact angle you want.
- Block and Deflect – Defend your goal! Extend your whole body for a stretchy block or deflection to keep your opponents from scoring. Or, become a platform to help your teammates reach that hoop.
- Feint and Shield – Fool your opponent with a fake throw or shield the ball by holding it out of your opponent’s reach.
- Solo, Cooperative, and Player-Versus-Player Modes – Play solo or cooperatively with a friend in Quick Match, or against increasingly harder opponents in Galaxy Tour, Challenge, or Cup modes. Or take on a friend, or up to 16 friends, in local multiplayer across the Quick Match, Mutator Madness, and Tournament modes.
- Customize Your Dunker – Want to play as a purple-robo-vampire-shark? We got it covered. Customize your characters with hundreds of different body parts and more than two-and-a-half million procedural team and player names. Who knows, there might even be cameo appearances. Wouldn’t that be cool?
- Dunk Across the Universe – Play across eight unique arenas from all over the universe. From an underwater lab to dinosaur times and a marooned space station, each arena has its own special features.
