About Basketball Free Throw

Twenty shots from the line, gravity, and a gusting wind between you and a perfect run. Drag back from the ball to set your launch angle and power, watch the dotted arc preview, and let fly. A swish straight through the center doubles your points, and every make you string together pumps up the streak bonus. You have 20 attempts to rack up the highest score you can before the buzzer.

How to Play Basketball Free Throw

Drag back from the ball to aim — the further you drag, the more power, capped so you can't overshoot the world. A dotted trajectory guide previews your arc before you release. Each make is worth 100 points plus a streak bonus of 20 per consecutive basket, and a dead-center swish doubles the total. You get 20 attempts in all; the game ends once you've taken the 20th shot.

Controls

Click/tap and drag back from the ball to set angle and power, then release to shoot. P to pause.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the score calculated?

Each basket is worth 100 points plus a streak bonus of 20 points per consecutive make. A clean swish through the center doubles that total, while any miss resets your streak to zero.

What is the wind doing?

After every shot a fresh wind value is rolled and shown as an arrow at the top of the screen. It pushes the ball left or right for the entire flight, so glance at it before each attempt.
