You can download the game by searching for it on the Roblox game. The official listing is by developer Current. Once you install the game, you can play the classic 5v5 mode or the new 3v3 casual mode. 

The game is very similar to traditional basketball, where you have to dribble, pass, and shoot the ball into the enemy net. Matches are time-limited and your goal is to score more points than the enemy team. Here are some of the rules you need to know: 

  • You can dribble the ball up to three times per possession. Some styles can allow an additional dribble. 
  • Shots inside the three-point line award two points.
  • Shots outside the three-point line award three points. 
  • The game uses an energy bar to show your dribbling and ability meters.
