A little about the game
Basketball Stars is an arcade basketball game with solo modes and two-player matches on a shared keyboard. Choose 1 Player, 2 Players or Quick Match from the opening menu, or start with Tutorial. Move around the court, shoot when you have the ball and try to steal it when your opponent has possession.

How to play
Choose your mode before learning the keys: solo and two-player shooting controls differ. Use 2 Players for a shared-keyboard match and Tutorial to learn the game. The table below separates the solo keys from the two-player keys; check Tutorial for special-shot controls in the mode you choose.
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Solo: move | WASD or Arrow Keys. |
| Solo: shoot / steal | X or L. |
| Two players: move | Player 1: WASD. Player 2: Arrow Keys. |
| Two players: shoot / steal | Player 1: B. Player 2: L. |
| Two players: pump / block | Player 1: S. Player 2: Down Arrow. |
| Two players: dash | Player 1: press A or D twice. Player 2: press Left or Right Arrow twice. |
A few tips before you play
- Start with Tutorial and check the keys for the mode you want to play. Do not carry the solo shooting key into a two-player match.
- The shoot and steal button serves different purposes depending on who has the ball. Watch possession before using it.
- Keep an eye on the special-shot meter and check Tutorial for the key used by your player in the selected mode.
The two-player controls here use one shared keyboard. Check the game’s Tutorial for special-shot keys and its on-screen controls when using a touchscreen.
