Your goal
Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Start with a deliberate move.
Step by step
- Set angle and power.

- A downward crossing inside the rim scores.
- Adjust for another shot.
Controls
Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Backboard contact alone is not a basket. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
