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. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. The example below illustrates a decision.

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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

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. Notice the change in the playing area.

Watch out for this

Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
