Slime Dunk Unblocked — Play Free Online

Slime Dunk takes the old slime-volleyball idea and points it at a basketball hoop. You control a round, legless blob that can only walk and hop, and the whole game is about using that body to get the ball into the basket before the other slime does. There is no dribbling animation and no playbook, just a bouncing ball, a hoop and a lot of small timing decisions.

Sessions are short and the rules are easy to explain in one sentence, which makes it a good break if you have been playing the fuller simulations on Basketball Stars. Where Basketball Stars asks you to learn a set of moves and time your shots, this one is closer to a physics toy: the ball goes where the bounce sends it, and you win by reading that bounce a fraction earlier than your opponent.

It is published on Poki and runs in the browser with nothing to install.

How to play

Move with the arrow keys or WASD. One more key handles jumping and shooting, so the same button that lifts your slime off the floor is the one you use to get the ball moving toward the hoop. Depending on the mode you start, you can play against the computer or share one keyboard with a friend, with one player on the arrow keys and the other on WASD.

A round is a back-and-forth scramble. The ball drops, both slimes rush under it, and whoever gets the better contact sends it toward their target. Because you cannot carry the ball, scoring is about positioning: getting underneath it at the right height and angle rather than simply running at the hoop.

Tips

• Stay slightly behind the ball instead of directly under it, so your hop pushes it forward rather than straight up.
• Do not jump the moment the ball comes near. A late jump usually gives you a cleaner contact than an early one.
• Watch the rebound off the floor and the backboard before committing; the ball's bounce tells you where to stand.
• When playing two people on one keyboard, agree on who takes which side first, since the arrow keys and WASD sit close together.

Similar games on Basketball Stars

Basket Random is the nearest relative: another two-player, physics-driven basketball game where the chaos is part of the fun. Basketball Legends 2020 is a more conventional one-on-one with proper player characters, and Basketball Stars itself is the full-sized version if you want dribbling, shot timing and a more deliberate game. Basket Champs and Basket Ball are worth a look when you would rather practise shooting than fight for the ball.

Slime Dunk suits quick rounds, shared keyboards and anyone who likes simple controls with a little bit of physics to figure out.
