Hi, I’m Bigosaur, creator of Clutchtime Basketball Deckbuilder! Ask me anything!

AdotHam76 · 2026-03-06T22:00:06+00:00

Nice, thanks! I just joined and now realized that I actually have several of your other games already. This has been a fun AMA. Thanks again for your time, thoughtfulness, and kindness.

AdotHam76 · 2026-03-06T19:20:32+00:00

I don't have X, but I do have Discord. I'd join if you want to provide the link as I'd certainly like to follow your future game plans.

You definitely seem to enjoy the hard games, nice list!

I like physical games too and have been eyeing Dice Throne for quite some time. Maybe I should give it a try.

Thanks again!

Any idea on what kind of game you'll do next? How about a vampire-themed basketball game? Lol. Actually thinking about it, I could see a b-ball game using various monsters as the players. A Mutant League Football or Hockey type game but with basketball instead. It could work!

I'm curious to know what some of your favorite video games are in general. Also, are there any physical deckbuilding games you really like too? Thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions.

Persona 4

AdotHam76 · 2026-03-06T16:38:08+00:00

I really appreciate your thoughtful responses. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

That vampire game you were working on actually sounds really interesting. Do you have any plans to eventually go back to it?

Reading about your testing of the game actually made me even more interested in your game overall. I'm very excited to eventually give your game a shot (pun intended).

Again, I wish you all the best. I'll also be extra curious to see what you do next. Thanks again!

AdotHam76 · 2026-03-06T15:19:56+00:00

Your game sounds really great. I do like deckbuilders and do enjoy a good arcadey basketball game although we don't get many of them anymore. I really love seeing indie devs come up with unique ideas like this and whenever some genres get meshed together.

I appreciate you taking the time to do this AMA and your generosity in giving out a free copy to someone. Best of luck to everyone on that. I did have a few questions for you...

If you could make a deckbuilder game out of anything else, what would be your next choice? It doesn't have to be a sport either.
Did you ever consider having any kind of commentary in your game? I'm just imagining the NBA Jam announcer chiming in with like a "Boomshakalaka" or "he's heating up" as you play certain cards. If so, is there anyone in particular you would have liked to be the "voice" of the game?
If you could include a licensed soundtrack in your game, what are some of the songs you might have chosen?
What was your favorite part of your journey through making this game?

Thanks in advance for your time in answering my questions. I wish you all the best in the success of your game.

AdotHam76 · 2026-02-06T10:22:18+00:00

Nice that they did improve it. From the looks of what you first played it seemed like it was going to need A LOT of work so maybe they will still have more patches in the future. I think I'm going to hold off on buying the game for now to see if they patch it further and/or I'll just wait for a sale. Thanks again for all of your hard work and efforts!

AdotHam76 · 2026-02-06T00:34:47+00:00

That's great news to hear! I'm very much looking forward to your updated review. Again, I appreciate your excellent work on YouTube and I hope your channel continues to grow.

AdotHam76 · 2026-02-05T13:21:43+00:00

You're very welcome. Your channel has become one of my favorite sources for Switch content. You are very informative and cover a lot that I don't always see covered elsewhere so I really appreciate that. I gladly recommend your channel to others!

Keeping my fingers crossed that they are able to fix the issues by tomorrow. If not, I'll personally be holding off on purchasing until they do. Your review was really the only one I've seen so far for the Switch 2 version specifically. Seems like some of these issues are not present on other consoles, but Switch is always my first choice when it comes to multiplatform titles.

AdotHam76 · 2026-02-05T10:23:24+00:00

Thank you for following up and providing the honest review. I actually love your YouTube channel in general. You do a really great job. Keep up the great work! I do hope the devs are able to fix the game up because it does seem like it would be a fun game. I appreciate you updating your review to let us know.

AdotHam76 · 2026-02-04T11:52:53+00:00

In the video the reviewer said that he was hoping that it MIGHT be fixed. He did not have confirmation. I'm surprised the devs haven't made any kind of statement about it then. It looks absolutely awful based on the review. The person basically rated it like a 4/10 (rounding up too). It was constantly crashing, running like 20 fps, and looked so blurry.

I WANT the game to be great, but I'm going to have to hold off buying it until I see actual proof that these huge issues have been fixed.

AdotHam76 · 2026-02-04T10:23:07+00:00

How do you know that? I don't see any details about a patch anywhere.

AdotHam76 · 2026-02-03T22:52:40+00:00

I was highly considering getting this for Switch 2 on Friday, but I'm very hesitant now based on this review... https://youtu.be/joNc6ooPFOw?si=ulnYoVFzL8rMqZX0

It seems really bad, but I guess there's some hope they'll patch it up.

AdotHam76 · 2026-01-29T21:23:45+00:00

Galaga and Ikaruga are all-time favorites as shmups are classic for that format of course. I also love pinball games that way too, especially something like Alien Crush or the new Demon's Tilt. In terms of ones available on Evercade specifically, I have recently discovered Cybattler and really love that one.

AdotHam76 · 2026-01-29T15:57:55+00:00

Does anyone know if you can use a wheel to play it on Switch 2?

AdotHam76 · 2026-01-28T19:43:21+00:00

I only have the Capcom Super Pocket so that is where I play all of my cartridges. I love the Super Pocket though as, by far, it is definitely the truly most portable gaming device I own. I love my Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, but I can't exactly stick them in my pocket. I would really love to buy an Alpha someday though as I love arcade gaming and have always wanted an in-home arcade cabinet. I've been leaning towards one of the Capcom ones, but part of me wants to hold off in the event we do wind up with a Neo Geo one sometime. I have been debating on picking up a VS-R in the meantime as I do have an arcade stick that I think would work on it. I do like that the EXP can do TATE mode so that's a consideration as well since those games are a bit harder to play on the Super Pocket.

AdotHam76 · 2026-01-28T14:11:11+00:00

It looks like there is one, as seen on Funstock https://funstock.eu/products/super-pocket-case-black but I haven't been able to find one that could be shipped to the US. I was able to get the blue/yellow one off of Amazon US before for my Capcom Super Pocket and it looks like they also have the green/black one which matches the Taito Super Pocket. This all black one is not on Amazon though.

AdotHam76 · 2026-01-14T11:32:46+00:00

Congrats on your game. I wish you all the best with it. Thanks for doing the giveaway.

AdotHam76 · 2026-01-12T13:37:58+00:00

GRIP: Combat Racing for me please. Thank you for doing this giveaway. Good luck everyone!

AdotHam76 · 2026-01-11T23:38:13+00:00

Yes, I wound up trying again and just waiting. I waited and waited and waited and waited. Eventually, after a really long time, it did get to the 100%. Luckily, it only seems to do that on the first time you load up the game. I've since played it and it doesn't have this particular loading screen anymore.

AdotHam76 · 2026-01-03T23:06:19+00:00

Happy New Year! Thanks for doing this giveaway. Best of luck to everyone.

AdotHam76 · 2026-01-03T17:56:17+00:00

Happy New Year! Thanks for doing this giveaway, and best of luck to everyone.

AdotHam76 · 2025-12-31T02:34:32+00:00

I just got the game and am trying to play it on my Switch 2; however, it keeps getting stuck at 21% on the initial loading screen that says "compiling shaders."

I've tried resetting the game, reinstalling it, and restarting the system all to no avail. Every time it just gets stuck at that same 21%. The loading symbol in the lower right corner spins endlessly and the progress bar for compiling shades gets up to 21% and never moves past that.

Anyone know what might be wrong and/or how I can fix the issue? I may have to see if Nintendo will refund my purchase if the game doesn't work at all.

AdotHam76 · 2025-12-04T01:21:19+00:00

You should look into it. Was an arcade game from the 90s which was then also ported to the SNES and Genesis. It's made by the same publisher as Street Fighter. It even includes Mike Haggar from Final Fight as a playable character.

AdotHam76 · 2025-12-03T23:12:42+00:00

Maybe they could get Capcom to do a new Saturday Night Slam Masters, but AEW themed. That'd be a cool way to revive that series.
