How to Play – Basketball Blast

Basic Controls

Click (or tap on mobile) and hold on the orange basketball. The ball will respond to your cursor or finger.

While holding, drag in the opposite direction of the hoop. A dotted trajectory line will appear showing exactly where the ball will go.

Let go of the mouse button (or lift your finger) to launch the ball. The distance you dragged determines the power of your throw.

Land the ball cleanly through the hoop to score points. Miss and you lose a life. Lose all 3 lives and it's Game Over!

Every clean basket through the hoop earns you 10 base points. Simple and satisfying!

Score twice in a row without missing to activate the 2x multiplier. Your next shot earns double points!

Three consecutive baskets activates the 3x multiplier. The crowd goes wild and your score skyrockets!

Score 5 or more consecutive baskets to unlock the legendary 5x INSANE combo. Maximum points per shot!

Level	Score Required	Hoop Behavior
Level 1	0 points	Hoop is stationary. Perfect for beginners.
Level 2	50 points	Hoop is still stationary but scoring is harder.
Level 3	100 points	Hoop starts moving slowly left and right.
Level 4	200 points	Hoop moves faster. Timing becomes critical.
Level 5+	350+ points	Hoop moves at maximum speed. Expert mode!

The ball has realistic gravity. Always aim slightly higher than the hoop to account for the arc.

When the hoop is at an awkward angle, bank the ball off the backboard for a trick shot!

A missed shot resets your combo to zero. Take your time and aim carefully to keep the streak alive.

At higher levels, watch the hoop's movement pattern before shooting. Anticipate where it will be when the ball arrives.
