The game uses an isometric basketball view and focuses on 2-on-2 matchups. Players pass, shoot, steal, block, and sprint across the court, with the trademark high-flying dunks and alley-oops defining offense. Matches are extremely fast and physical, with loose collision rules that encourage aggressive play. Progress is usually match-based, with wins decided by score and time limits; some versions also include special and hidden teams.
