Double Up
Anything on this page is subject to change throughout the development progress of the game. We will thoroughly test and validate any feature before it goes live.
Overview
Double Up is a defensive move that allows the player to have two Kongs defend the ball handler. When activated, the two closest Kongs will immediately move towards the ball handler to defend for a set period of time, providing a significant increase in defense against the opposing player's actions such as passing and shooting. However, using Double Up leaves one player undefended, which may lead to an easier basket for the opposing team.
