How to Play Basketball
Basketball is a quick free-throw shootout: drag to aim, judge the arc, and sink more of your five shots than your opponent.

How to play
- Drag from the ball to set the angle and power of your shot, then release.
- Each player takes five free throws.
- Whoever makes more baskets wins; tie-breaks go to extra shots.
Tips to win
- Aim for a high, soft arc — a flat shot clanks off the rim, while an arc drops through cleanly.
- Find one power level that works and repeat it; consistency beats re-aiming every shot.
- Use the backboard on angled shots; banking it in is more forgiving than a direct swish.
