Hoops

Ten shots, you pick the spot

Two taps make one shot. First you set the angle of the arc, then its power – and the ball flies with real physics: gravity, bounces off the backboard, kicks off the rim. A shot that is too flat comes back off the front of the rim, just as it would in real life.

Before every shot you decide where you shoot from: the free-throw line, inside the three-point line or beyond it. The free throw is the easiest but worth only one point – a three is worth three times as much, but it is far harder. Beyond the three-point line you get three points, inside it two, and a swish that never touches the backboard earns an extra bonus. Three baskets in a row and you are on fire, with every make worth more from then on.
