BallSZN: Basketball Career

BallSZN: Basketball Career (said "Ball Season") is an offline basketball career game in a 3D pixel-art style, for iPhone, iPad and Android.

HIGH SCHOOL TO THE PROS

Start in the driveway with a ball and a hoop. Earn your recruiting stars in high school, pick your college on signing day and hear your name called on draft night. Make the league or work your way up from the development league, negotiate in free agency, chase a ring and the Hall of Fame.

REAL GAMES, FAST

Every game day is a real 3v3 game with five players a side: two 2-minute halves, 2s and 3s, a 12-second shot clock. Move with your left thumb, hold SHOOT to rise and let go at the top of the jump. A game takes about five minutes and seasons are short.

HOW YOU PLAY DECIDES YOUR ROLE

After every game a teammate grade from A+ to F judges the makes, the extra pass, the stops and the boards. It sets your XP and what your coach thinks of you. Start on the bench and earn your way to Star and Franchise Player.

BUILD YOUR PLAYER AND YOUR LIFE

Six player types, from Sharpshooter and Slasher to Playmaker. Practice, run the drills, earn a salary and playoff bonuses, and upgrade your home court from the backyard to your own facility.

AI disclosure: the art (textures, UI, cards and the icon) was generated with GPT Image from my own style guide, then picked and edited by me. The crowd and chant sounds were generated with ElevenLabs; the court sounds come from a licensed sound pack. The code and the design documents were drafted with AI coding assistants under my direction. Every design decision, the tuning and all the playtesting are mine. There is no music.
