Physics-based Basketball Puzzle Game Online
Play a fun physics puzzler with a basketball theme: Basket Ball: A New Challenge is a highly-addicting, physics-based puzzle and interactive aiming & accuracy game where you must skillfully launch a basketball into a basket in 25 progressively-difficult, confined levels featuring tricky blocking obstacles. Utilizing good problem solving and prediction skills, you must try to figure out the best angle and optimal power to get the ball into the basket in as few shots as possible.
Reasons to play this angle and trajectory-based puzzle game: This is simple, physics-based problem-solving at its best, and is a lot more than just ‘shooting hoops’! A high level of focus and concentration are required to figure out the best way to launch the ball into the basket. Test and exercise your analytical thinking and judgement skills as you carefully make your way through the 25 tricky stages.
Strategy to win: Trial and error is very important as you attempt to alter your shot power and trajectory with each miss. Learning from your mistakes could be the key difference between an instant ‘swish’ or a potentially long time spent on a level. Good mouse control skills and a deft, steady hand also come into play.
