About Basketball Shoot
Basketball Shoot is a 3D basketball shoot game where you face a rival on the same hoop: drag to aim the dotted line, let go to throw, and be first to the target number of baskets. Every basket pushes you a step further back, so each shot is longer than the last.
Every level is different. You travel across ten courts, from a park and a beach to a downtown rooftop, a harbour, a desert and the Champions Arena, by day, at sunset and under floodlights, with fans in the stands who jump when you score. Wind arrives from level 4 and bends your shots, so you aim into it; moving blockers drift in front of the rim; every fifth level is a Shot Clock round against the timer, and every tenth is a Champion Match against a fast, gold-clad rival. Rivals get quicker as the levels climb, and the levels never run out.
Wins earn coins for nine balls, including a real beach ball, volleyball, football, handball and a big baseball as well as Ice Blue, Gold and Galaxy, plus three upgrades: Sweet Spot, Slow Rival and Coin Bonus. Basketball Shoot runs on phones, tablets and computers with no download.

How to play Basketball Shoot
- Tap Start. You are the blue player on the right; the banner tells you the level type and how many baskets you need.
- Press and drag up to raise the dotted aim line, and left or right to point it at the hoop.
- Let go to shoot. On windy levels the chip at the bottom shows the wind: aim a little against it.
- Reach the basket target before your rival (or before the shot clock runs out) to win the level and your coins.
Controls
- Computer
- Hold the left mouse button and drag to aim, then release to shoot.
- Phone and tablet
- Touch the screen, slide your finger to aim, and lift it to shoot.
Tips
- Drag straight up about a sixth of the screen height: that is the middle of the scoring zone.
- WIND << means the ball drifts left, so aim slightly right; WIND >> is the opposite. Stronger wind needs a bigger correction.
- On Shot Clock levels there is no rival, so shoot steadily rather than fast: a miss costs you a few seconds.
- Time your shots past the moving blockers instead of throwing while they cover the rim.
- Sweet Spot is the best first upgrade: a wider scoring zone turns near misses into baskets.

How many levels are there?
The levels never end. Each level is generated from its number: the court changes every two levels across ten venues, wind and moving blockers come in from level 4, every fifth level is a Shot Clock round and every tenth a Champion Match, and rivals keep getting faster.
What happens if my rival wins?
You can retry the level, or once per match take a rematch: your rival loses their last two baskets and the game carries on. On a Shot Clock level the second chance adds ten seconds instead.
