About Basket Slam
Touch in the screen, drag and release to throw the ball. The goal is throw the ball into the hoop to score points, BUT the player must slam the blue platform before!
How to play Basket Slam
Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. Nothing about the control scheme is unusual; the table below covers all of it. It fills the player in landscape, so use the fullscreen button on desktop and turn your phone sideways on mobile. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.

On mobile: Tap and swipe on screen. Turn your phone sideways — this game is designed for landscape and fills a horizontal screen.
Why it is worth playing
What makes Basket Slam stick is that failure is informative. You can usually name the mistake, and that is what makes another attempt tempting. Nothing about it assumes you have played it before.
