About Basket Battle
Basketball reduced to a duel. You have a basket, the opponent has one, and every possession is a choice between putting your shot up and getting in the way of theirs.
That second half is what separates it from a free throw game. A block is worth as much as a score, so the rhythm is attack, defend, attack, with points piling up until one side is clearly ahead. It works in either orientation at 800 by 600, on a phone or a desktop.
How to play
- Aim your shot at your own basket.
- Throw and watch the ball drop.
- Block the opponent when they take their turn.
- Build up points until you take the win.

Tips
- Do not chase every block. A missed one leaves you out of position for your own shot.
- Take the easy shot when it is there. Points win this, not the good looking attempt.
