Your goal
Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.

- A downward crossing inside the rim scores.
- Adjust for another shot.
Controls
Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.

A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
