Played until game slowed down unbearably, would be alot more fun if was faster and character did not feel like made out of iron.

Oh hey, I've seen you on AGDG.

You need to make a full game out of this. There is so much potential in this basketball-throwing mechanic that it would be a waste if you didn't. There are a few technical problems though. The steadily decreasing framerate was already mentioned, but the character can double jump by jumping immediately after throwing the ball, and I'm not sure if that is a glitch or intentional. There's some collision detection problems, but I'm pretty sure the framerate's the cause of that. But those can be forgiven because you've come up with a genius idea for a platformer.

Gravity is super strong, and that level design, bruh.

Nice idea, I think with some fine tuning this could pretty excellent.

there are a few bugs/technical flaws in it, but the gameplay mechanic was still a fun experience.

Cool idea. Could probably use a bit more work, but what you have so far is pretty good! :D

Needs a lot of tweaking but the idea's solid! Reminds me of the balls you need to ride in Super Mario Land 2 (In the giant Mario toy world).
