About Basketball Challenge

“Basketball Challenge Game” is a super fun and challenging game. Your main objective is to hit the basketball hoops making as few mistakes as possible, so your score will multiply more and more! Beat your own records in this game with real physics! Good luck!

How to play Basketball Challenge

There is very little to learn before your first run. Point, click, done: the mouse is the entire control scheme. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.
