Arcade

Most of the arcade is open to everyone. Nothing in it costs anything, apart from the Flow network fee on a Streetball transaction.

Field one Baller you own and hold the court through ten rounds of 1v1. One loss ends the run, and beating all ten takes the crown. Pick a Sneaker, a build and a position before you start. You scout each opponent before the round and can swap Sneakerz between rounds.

• The climb: rounds 1 to 3 are Challengers, 4 to 6 Contenders and 7 to 9 Royalty, with stronger Ballerz and better Sneakerz at each step. Round 10 is The King, an All-Star.
• Daily: everyone faces the same ten opponents on a UTC day, and a round plays out the same way every time, so a loss can't be replayed into a win. Your best run of the day is the one that counts.
• Endless: a fresh random ladder each run, for practice.
• The board ranks by rounds reached, then the crown, then average winning margin. On a tie the earlier run ranks higher.

Each round is a full game from the same engine as the league sim, so your Baller's traits and Sneaker boosts count the way they do in a season.

Draft a starting five, then run a full 82-game season and see how close you get to perfect. Each of the five rounds spins a random team and body type, and you pick one Baller from that pool.

• Two re-rolls a draft: one swaps the team and keeps the body, the other swaps the body and keeps the team.
• Positions matter: a pick can only fill its primary or backup position, and you need one Baller at each of the five.
• The league: 46 teams, each with its top five by overall. All-Stars sit out, both as picks and as opponents.
• The same five in the same spots always finish with the same record, so you can't re-run a lineup for a luckier season. Draft a different one instead.
• The board ranks by wins, then average winning margin. Every saved season counts, not only your best.

The onchain cabinet: a daily shootout, 3v3 pickup under a salary cap, H-O-R-S-E challenges, a weekly Rumble and a team season, all run by contracts on Flow. It has its own page: Streetball.

The one you play with your hands: 2-on-2, full court, no fouls. Pick a team and two of its Ballerz, then run against a CPU duo. You control your first pick and the CPU plays your teammate.

• Two 90-second halves with a 24-second shot clock. A tie goes to 30 seconds of overtime, where the next basket wins.
• Lights out: score three in a row and you're on fire, with a better shot and turbo that doesn't run down. It ends when the other team scores.
• Skills: dunks is your jump and dunk range, shooting your jumper, playmaking your speed and handle, defense your steals and blocks.

A card game on a 3×3 court. You and the CPU each hold five Ballerz and take turns putting one down. A coin flip decides who goes first.

• Every card has four edges: dunks on top, shooting on the right, defense on the bottom and playmaking on the left, each scaled from the skill to 1 through 10. A 10 shows as A.
• Taking cards: put a card next to one of the CPU's, and every edge of yours that beats the edge facing it turns that card your color.
• Chemistry: a card put down next to one of your own from the same team gets +1 on every edge for as long as it stays on the court.
• Winning: when the court is full, whoever owns more cards wins. The card left in a hand counts for its holder.
• Rookie or Pro CPU: the Pro looks a move ahead and gets a hand as strong as yours. The Rookie's hand is a little weaker.

1v1 to 11 by ones and twos. Every possession you and the CPU each make a call in secret, then the calls meet.

Not a game: a studio that turns any Baller into a picture you can download or share by link.

• PFP: one Baller, square.
• Lineup: two to five Ballerz on one poster, with a caption of up to 24 characters.
• Dress up: on a PFP, change the costume, expression, backdrop and frame, plus the hair, face, jersey and more. A dressed-up poster is marked custom. Hand-drawn Ballerz have no layers to dress up.
