PlagomoHow to play Basketball
- Swipe up from the ball to shoot. A longer swipe throws harder; angle your swipe left or right to aim.
- A basket is worth 2 points. A swish, straight in without touching the rim, is worth 3 (and +1 second in timed mode).
- Make 3 baskets in a row and you're ON FIRE: every basket scores double until you miss.
- After a few baskets the hoop starts sliding side to side, and it gets faster as you score.
- Play 60 seconds for a high score, or 3 lives where every miss costs a ball.
Tips and strategy
- Find your power first: watch the power bar while you swipe. The green zone is a good shot for a still hoop.
- Too short falls under the rim, too strong flies over the backboard. Adjust a little at a time.
- For a moving hoop, shoot when it's heading back toward the middle.
Questions
How do I shoot in this basketball game?
Put your finger on the screen, swipe upward and let go. The length of the swipe sets the power and the angle sets the direction.
What does On Fire mean?
Three baskets in a row sets the ball on fire. While you're on fire every basket is worth double points. One miss puts the fire out.
Can I play on a computer?
Yes. Click and drag upward with the mouse to shoot, just like swiping on a phone.
