About Gravity Dunk

The challenge lies in avoiding deadly spikes scattered throughout the endless course that could pop the ball and end the game. Test your skills, timing, and reflexes in this fast-paced arcade-style adventure and see how many hoops you can score before meeting a thorny demise.
How to play Gravity Dunk
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. The full control mapping is in the table below and takes a moment to skim. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.
