You can shoot basketballs and bowling balls in this game, and there are physics involved when it comes to shooting these balls. Basketballs have a bounce to them, of course, while bowling balls are heavy enough to break ice walls. You can also use bowling balls for straight shots – if they hit the backboard, that means there’s a good chance they will fall into the net.
You’ll earn a lot of money and coins (and in here, they’re different) if you complete levels in Dude Perfect 2. And these are used to buy visual upgrades and power-ups. It’s the power-ups you want to focus on, as the cosmetic upgrades won’t do anything but change the look of your character. So with that being said, spend your currency on power-ups, and don’t waste it on new threads.
Why Dude Perfect? If you consider that you can get a perfect score on most levels by making all your shot attempts, then the name of the game does make a lot of sense. That said, you won’t get blow-by-blow explanations of the requirements, but a general rule of thumb is that you can get three-star levels early on by using as many balls as there are nets. Take advantage of the bounce-backs, and you should be on your way to easy three-star outings in those early levels.
As a physics-based puzzler, a lot about this game is trial and error. Making the right kind of trick shot needs a lot of practice, but if you find something that works, stick with it and practice pulling it off, even if it took you forever to get it right the first time.
At some point, you’ll start encountering ice floors in Dude Perfect 2. Make sure you’ve explored the level for ice patches fully before you begin shooting – you do not want to shatter that ice, so using a bowling ball is typically a no-no here.
