Swipy Basketball
About Swipy Basketball
A pure shooting game: one hoop, one ball, one swipe. Everything hangs on getting the arc right, and because the hoop moves between shots you never settle into a rhythm that survives more than a few throws. Streaks are the scoring engine - each consecutive make raises the multiplier, so the pressure builds precisely when you have the most to lose. Runs last under a minute and the failure is always legible: you can see the shot leave short before it does. Works fine on a trackpad or a phone.
How to Play
- Swipe or drag upward to shoot - the length of the swipe sets the power.
- Aim for a high arc; flat shots hit the front of the rim.
- Consecutive makes build a multiplier, so a miss costs more than one point.
- Keep shooting until you miss too many and the run ends.
Swipy Basketball FAQ
Why do my shots hit the front of the rim in Swipy Basketball?
The swipe is too flat. Length sets power and angle sets arc, and short flat swipes send the ball on a trajectory that clips the near edge. Aim higher than feels necessary - a steep shot that drops in beats a fast one that rattles out.
