What the one button does
| Situation | Press |
|---|---|
| You have the ball | Hold to jump, release to shoot. The most accurate release is at the top of the jump, about 0.47 seconds in, when the ring around the ball turns green. |
| The opponent is dribbling | Press close to him to swipe at the ball. Time it to the moment the ball hits the floor and it is yours. |
| The opponent jumps to shoot | Jump with him: reach the ball and you block it. Touching a ball that is already dropping above the rim gives the points to the shooter. |
| Loose ball | Jump to catch it. Catch it in the air with the button still held and you shoot as soon as you let go. |
Scoring and the shot clock
- A basket is worth 2, from behind the three-point line it is worth 3. Jump right under the hoop to dunk.
- Each attack has 8 seconds, shown above the backboard. Run out and the ball goes to the other side.
- After a score the other side gets the ball. The first ball is a jump ball in the centre: whoever jumps higher takes it.
- A match goes to 7 or 11 points and usually takes one or two minutes.
Controls
- Phone: tap anywhere on the screen. Two players on one phone use the left and right halves.
- Keyboard: Space, W or ↑. Two players use W (Blue) and ↑ (Red). Esc pauses.

FAQ
Why does my shot fall short?
You are letting go too early. Wait for the top of the jump, when the ring turns green. A late release flies low and flat.
