how to play swish
Swish is a free basketball flick game. Flick the ball up into the hoop from the free throw line. After every make the hoop moves somewhere new, then it starts to slide, speeds up, and finally bobs up and down too. Three misses end the run.
- Swipe up from the ball toward the hoop. The direction of your swipe aims, and how far up you swipe sets how far the ball flies.
- A clean swish is worth 3 points. In off the rim or the board is worth 2.
- For the first five makes the hoop sits still. From five it slides side to side, from ten it slides faster, and from twenty it bobs up and down as well.
- When the hoop is moving, aim where it will be when the ball gets there, not where it is now.
- Three misses and the run is over. Makes don't win misses back.
Keyboard: Left and right aim, up and down set the distance, Space or Enter throws, and Esc goes back to the menu.
tips
- Find a swipe length that works and repeat it. Only the direction should change.
- If the call says short, swipe a little further. If it says long or off the board, a little less.
- Three swishes in a row set the ball on fire. It looks great and costs nothing.
- On a moving hoop, release as it turns around at the end of its slide. It's slowest there.
faq
How do you flick a basketball into a moving hoop?
Lead it. The ball takes about a second to get there, so swipe toward where the hoop will be by then. Shooting as it turns at the end of a slide is the easiest timing.
Why did my shot rim out?
It hit the metal on the way down. The rim and the board are drawn exactly where the ball bounces off them, so a rim out means you were a touch off in direction or distance.
Can I play with a keyboard?
Yes. Left and right aim, up and down set the distance, and Space throws. A short guide shows the start of the arc.
What's a good score?
Around 20 points means you got the hoop moving. Past 50 you are beating the bobbing hoop.
