How to play Basketball Shot

Objective: Score as many points as you can before the shot clock runs out.

  1. Drag back from anywhere on the court, like a slingshot. The arrow shows your angle and power.
  2. Release to shoot. The ball bounces off the rim, backboard and floor.
  3. After each shot you move to a new spot. Later shots are taken from further out.
  4. The round ends when the clock hits zero. A shot already in the air still counts.

Scoring

2 points per basket, 3 from behind the 3 PT mark. +1 for a swish (no rim) and +1 per basket while on a streak of 3 or more.

Difficulty levels

Easy: 75 seconds and a long aiming guide. Normal: 60 seconds and a short guide. Hard: 45 seconds, no guide and a hoop that moves up and down.

Tips

  • A high arc is more forgiving than a flat shot.
  • Banking it off the backboard works well from close range.
  • Use the keyboard for fine adjustments after dragging.
