About Swipy Basketball
Swipe, and the ball flies. That is the entire control scheme, and everything else is timing. The hoops sway from side to side, so the arc you send the ball on has to arrive at a place the hoop has not reached yet.
Each basket adds to the score and the run continues, which makes it the kind of game you keep restarting without deciding to. Learning the swing of the hoop is the whole improvement curve. It plays in portrait at 600 by 800, which suits a phone held upright.
How to play
- Swipe towards the hoop to launch the ball.
- Watch the hoop swing before you commit to a shot.
- Sink the basket to add to your score.
- Keep shooting to build the run up.

Tips
- Release when the hoop is centred. The shot is far more forgiving at the middle of the swing.
- A short swipe is easier to correct than a long one. Distance is the part that goes wrong first.
