How do you play Basketball Shoot?

It is an arcade basketball machine in your browser: flick the ball toward the hoop and score as many points as you can in 60 seconds. A new ball rolls in right after every throw, so you can keep shooting without a break.

The ball flies in a real arc and gets smaller as it travels away from you. It can bounce off the rim, roll around and drop in, or go in off the backboard for a bank shot. When the clock hits zero, any ball already in the air still counts.

How does scoring work?

What happensPoints
Basket2 points, whether it is clean or goes in off the rim or the board.
SwishNothing but net, without touching the rim or the backboard: 1 bonus point, 3 in total.
2 in a rowThe ball catches fire and every basket after that is worth double.
5 in a rowThe fire gets bigger and every basket after that is worth triple. A swish is then worth 9.
MissOnce the ball hits the floor, your streak and multiplier reset.

Why does the hoop start moving?

After 30 seconds the hoop starts sliding from side to side, and it speeds up as the clock runs down. It works like the second half on a real arcade machine. The ball takes about a second to reach the hoop, so aim a little ahead of where it is going.

Tips for a high score

  1. Repeat the same flick. Flick speed is power. Once a shot goes in, copy that motion and the streak keeps going.
  2. Read the hint. After a miss the game tells you to throw a bit harder or a bit softer.
  3. Protect your streak. From five in a row a basket is worth 6 to 9 points, so one sure shot beats three rushed ones.
  4. Catch the moving hoop at the ends. It slows down for a moment at each side, which is the easiest time to hit it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Basketball Shoot free?

Yes. It is free to play on this page with no download or sign up, on computers, phones and tablets.

How long is a game?

Each game lasts 60 seconds. Balls that are still in the air when time runs out are followed to the end and still count.

What is a swish?

A shot that drops through without touching the rim or the backboard. A normal basket is 2 points and a swish adds a bonus point for 3.

When does the ball catch fire?

Make two baskets in a row and the ball catches fire, so every basket after that scores double. Make five in a row for triple. A single miss resets the streak and the multiplier.

How do I throw harder?

Flick faster. Too hard and the ball hits high off the backboard, too soft and it falls short of the rim. On a keyboard, hold Space to make the power meter rise and fall, then let go in the green zone.

When does the hoop start moving?

After 30 seconds it slides left and right, and it gets faster as time runs out. The hoop keeps moving while the ball is in the air, so lead your shot a little.
