The challenge in front of you
Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The order of play
- Set angle and power.
- Shoot.
- A downward crossing inside the rim scores.
- Adjust for another shot.
Input guidance
Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
One way to understand the rules
A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.
A common point of confusion
Backboard contact alone is not a basket. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
