Go head 2 head with villain M. Jordan as bball outlaw in post Cyberapocalyptic Proto Neo New York!

The music is great, the setting is very imaginative and different dystopia. Michael Jordan is the VILLAIN, and is like some Orwellian Secret anti basketball police.

I seriously think this might have been the greatest JRPG i've yet to play. It's fun snarky literate, the writing kept me interested. The music is great, the setting is very imaginative and different dystopia. Michael Jordan is the VILLAIN, and is like some Orwellian Secret anti basketball police. This zany game entertained me far more than any JRPG since Super Mario RPG. It's highly literate makes constant injokes about games and JRPGs, in a very similiar manner tone as Blood Dragon did the same thing with FPS. Play it. It's great. It's fresh and food for thought.

It's free and most people probably write it off as a joke, but imo as a game it's sound. It's a decent turn based combat system with some skill timing of the moves in it (Very much like Super Mario RPG)
