About Basketball Shots
Drag from the ball to set shot direction and power, score through a moving-position hoop, and build a consecutive-shot streak. Drag distance produces shot power up to 18; gravity adds 0.4 to vertical velocity each update.
A basket counts only while the ball is descending through the hoop within its horizontal scoring width. Every make moves the hoop to a new random horizontal and vertical position; a miss resets streak but not total score.
How to Play Basketball Shots
1Press near the ball and drag away to choose direction and power.
2Release to launch the ball toward the hoop.
3After a make, aim again at the hoop's new position; after a miss, rebuild the streak.
Basketball Shots Rules
- Each made basket adds 1 to total score and 1 to streak.
- A ball that falls below the play area without scoring resets streak to zero.
- There is no miss limit or game-over state; shots can continue indefinitely.
Basketball Shots Scoring
| Action | Points | How it works |

Basketball Shots Game Mechanics
Objective
Drag from the ball to set shot direction and power, score through a moving-position hoop, and build a consecutive-shot streak.
- Drag distance produces shot power up to 18; gravity adds 0.4 to vertical velocity each update.
- A basket counts only while the ball is descending through the hoop within its horizontal scoring width.
- Every make moves the hoop to a new random horizontal and vertical position; a miss resets streak but not total score.
- Best total score is saved in localStorage under bball_best; current streak is session-only.
Tips & Strategies
- Use the previous arc as feedback and adjust drag distance gradually instead of completely changing power after one miss.
- Recalculate both angle and power after a made shot because the hoop changes position in two dimensions.
