Make the controls familiar
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.
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. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.
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. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
