Basket Shot
Arc it, swish it, repeat
Sixty seconds, one hoop, as many as you can sink.
Sixty seconds of hoops with bonus balls and a backboard that rewards touch.
About Basket Shot
Arc matters more than power. The backboard rewards a softer shot, and bonus balls appear often enough that a clean rhythm scores far better than a scramble.
How to play Basket Shot
Sixty seconds of shooting — arc the ball into a moving hoop.
Controls
- · Hold ◀ / ▶ to move along the court.
- · Hold SHOOT for power, release to shoot; the backboard is live.
Rules & scoring
- · Two points inside the arc, three from behind the line.
- · The clock, not the misses, ends the game.
Tips
- · Use the backboard when the hoop is moving away from you.

Water-filled hoop games and spring shooters made basketball a pocket-game favourite long before screens.
