How to play Dunk Up Basketball
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 is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.
