Drop Dunks is a free arcade game you can play right here in your browser. It leans on basketball, so expect a steady difficulty curve. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About Drop Dunks
Slide your finger to guide the falling balls into the hoop. How many balls can you get?
How to play Drop Dunks
Nothing here needs explaining twice. The controls are listed in full in the table below — there are only a handful of them. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. There is no penalty for failing, so push a little harder than feels safe.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Aim and set shot power |
| Left click / drag | Release the shot |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
The reason Drop Dunks holds up is restraint: it takes one idea — basketball — and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. It earns the replay rather than demanding it.
