Basket And Ball Game

Basket and Ball puts you in control of a bouncing ball whose only goal is to land in the basket at the end of each of 50 levels. Getting there means rolling and hopping past robo-police, fire traps, and spikes rather than shooting hoops in the traditional sense - despite the name, this is a physics platformer, not a sports sim.

Momentum carries most of the challenge. Tapping the jump button rapidly builds up a power mode that launches the ball higher, which is often the only way to clear a wide gap or a tall trap. Stars are scattered through each level for anyone who wants more than just the fastest route to the hoop.

Controls

• Move: Left / Right arrow keys
• Jump / Bounce: Spacebar (tap rapidly to build power mode and jump higher)
• Pause: Esc

Each level is short enough to finish in a minute or two, which makes it easy to pick up for a handful of rounds rather than one long session.
