How to play Basketball Shooting

Basketball Shooting gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Look at what changes after your first action. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

One hoop, ten shots, gravity and rim/backboard collisions.

Make the controls familiar

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your goal

Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Step by step

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

Controls

Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.

A useful example

A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.

Watch out for this

Backboard contact alone is not a basket. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
