Play Head Basketball Online

Choose solo, two-player, or Quick Match

Head Basketball is an arcade court game with oversized characters and several ways to start. The menu offers 1 Player, 2 Players, and Quick Match. Solo play includes tournament or random matches and training, while two people can share one PC and play on the same team or against each other.

In a match, score more baskets than the opponent before the timer runs out. The AZ Games instructions recommend timing jumps and shots, using a dash to create space, and saving a super-shot for a useful opening. Quick Match starts a 1v1 game against an NPC.

Head Basketball controls for Player 1 and Player 2

Player 1 moves with WASD. B shoots or performs an action, S pumps, and V triggers a super-shot. Double-tap D to dash. Player 2 uses the Arrow keys to move, L for the shot or action, Down Arrow to pump, and K for a super-shot; double-tap Left Arrow to dash.

The action key is separate from movement, so keep a finger ready for shooting while steering toward the basket. The game can show its own control prompt after you choose a mode; follow that prompt if the current build changes a key.

Score before the match timer ends

Head Basketball rewards shot timing and quick changes of direction. Move into a clear lane, jump before releasing a shot, and use the dash to get past a defender. The source instructions say a tied score can go to overtime, so keep playing until the game names a winner.

In local two-player mode, choose whether to play together or compete on opposite sides. Training gives one player a place to practice, while Quick Match is a short route into a game against the computer-controlled opponent.

Head Basketball has more actions than a one-button shooting challenge. If you want a solo score run, Basketball Hit focuses on shot timing and distance upgrades; if you want a compact one-on-one duel, Dunk Clash uses a smaller control set.
