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
- Set angle and power.
- Shoot.
- A downward crossing inside the rim scores.
- Adjust for another shot.
Controls
Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
