Getting started with Basketball Shooting

One thing to notice as you play

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Refer to the controls when needed.

The purpose of your moves

Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

How a round unfolds

  1. Set angle and power.
  2. Shoot.
  3. A downward crossing inside the rim scores.
  4. Adjust for another shot.

How to use the controls

Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

See the idea in action

A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.

A common point of confusion

Backboard contact alone is not a basket. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
