Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Step by step
- Set angle and power.
- Shoot.
- A downward crossing inside the rim scores.
- Adjust for another shot.
Controls
Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
