About Basket Random
Basket Random strips basketball down to a single button — and somehow that makes it funnier, not simpler. Your two ragdoll players flail, leap and headbutt the ball toward the hoop, and every round the game randomly changes the court, the weather, the ball, or even how your players are built. One round you are dunking on a normal court, the next you are lobbing a rugby ball through a hoop in the snow with wobbling giraffe-necked players.
Because each player only needs one key, this is the easiest possible game to share a keyboard with. Player 1 takes W on the left edge, Player 2 takes the Up Arrow on the right — no elbow wars in the middle of the keyboard. First to 5 baskets wins, and rounds are quick enough that "best of three" always turns into an hour.
It is made by RHM Interactive, the studio behind the whole "Random" sports series — if you enjoy this one, Soccer Random and Volley Random run on the same beautiful chaos.
Tips to win
- Timing beats mashing — press just before the ball reaches your player, not repeatedly.
- Let awkward balls bounce once; ragdoll physics punish players who jump too early.
- On low-gravity rounds, jump later than feels natural — you hang in the air longer than you think.
Frequently asked questions
Can I play Basket Random alone?
Yes — the game has a CPU mode, so you can practice solo before challenging a friend on the same keyboard.
Why do the players and courts keep changing?
That is the "Random" part: every round the game rerolls the court, ball, weather and player physics, so no two rounds play the same.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, it supports touch controls — but the two-players-one-keyboard mode is where it really shines.
