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 closer look at one example
A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
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. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
