Pull, release and make every ball count
Basketball Challenge strips the sport down to the shot itself. You pull the ball back to choose its angle and power, release and watch the arc, while a scoreboard above the court shows your points and how many balls remain. Your best result waits on the title screen, so each session turns into a race against your own record.
How to play Basketball Challenge
- Press play on the title screen, where your best score is also shown.
- Click or touch the ball and draw it back, since the direction and length of the pull decide the shot.
- Let go and follow the ball's arc toward the hoop on the right.
- Keep shooting while the scoreboard still shows balls left, then try to beat your best.

Tips to play better
- If the ball keeps clanging off the near rim, raise your angle slightly before adding any power.
- Find a pull length that works and repeat it; consistent power is what turns balls into points.
- A soft bank off the backboard is often safer than going for a clean swish.
- After a miss, take an easy, familiar shot to rebuild your rhythm before trying anything bold.

Basketball Challenge FAQ
What does the BALLS number on the scoreboard mean?
It counts the shots you have left in the session. Treat each ball as precious and skip wild, low-percentage throws.
Why do my shots sail over the backboard?
You are pulling back too far. Trim your power a little on the next attempt; small changes in pull length move the ball a long way.
