Head Basketball

About Head Basketball

Head Basketball is a free browser sports game where big-headed players face off in 1v1 or 2v2 basketball matches, with no download needed. You run, jump, dash and shoot to score more baskets than your opponent before the timer runs out.

You can play Head Basketball online alone or with a friend. The game has three modes: 1 Player, 2 Players and Quick Match. Solo players can enter a tournament for a chance at a trophy, take a random match or use training sessions to practice. Two friends can share one PC and either team up or compete.

Matches are short and decided by timing. A well-placed jump, a quick dash and a super-shot can all change the score. If the game is tied when time expires, it may go to overtime.

Tips to get better at Head Basketball

Start in training mode to learn the Head Basketball controls before you enter a tournament.
Jump when you shoot. A shot with good timing is harder for the opponent to block.
Use mega dunks when you can reach them, since they score points without risk of missing.
Defend by jumping at the moment the opponent shoots, not before. Early jumps leave you in the air and out of position.
Check the clock during the last moments. If you lead, play safe defense. If you trail, take quick shots and dash back.
