Notice the feedback
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.
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. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
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. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
