How to play on iPhone
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Left side of the screen | Touch and drag anywhere to move. The joystick appears under your thumb. |
| SHOOT | Hold to jump, release to shoot. Hold TURBO near the rim to dunk. On defense it jumps to block. |
| PASS | Pass to your teammate. When you don’t have the ball, it calls for it. |
| DUNK / STEAL | Dunk on offense and steal on defense. |
| TURBO | Hold for a burst of speed and bigger dunks. |
| Top corners | Pause the game (left) or switch which player you control (right, vs CPU). |
On Mac and in the browser you can play with a keyboard or a game controller. See the Controls screen in the game’s Settings.
Common questions
Is HBCU Jam free?
Yes. There are no in-app purchases and no ads.
Do I need an internet connection?
No. The game plays fully offline.
Can I play with a friend?
On Mac and in the browser you can play 2-player Versus or Co-op with a second controller or keyboard. The mobile version is single-player against the CPU.
How do I catch fire?
Score three baskets in a row with the same player and that player catches fire.
The game feels slow or the sound is off
Close other apps, make sure your phone isn’t in Low Power Mode, and check that the ringer/silent switch isn’t muting the sound. Restarting the game fixes most problems.
