Flick Dunk is a hyper-casual arcade basketball game by 1Button SARL that leverages a physics-based flick-to-shoot mechanic. It targets casual gamers with a high-retention core loop and a progression system featuring over 50 unlockable items. While it enjoys high sentiment for its addictiveness, it faces stiff competition from Ketchapp and Voodoo and is currently hampered by aggressive monetization and technical issues with its ad-removal IAP.
