THE SHOTDrag direction bends the ball left or right. Longer, faster drags add power. The dotted guide uses the same physics as the real shot. A plain tap does nothing.

MODESSHOOTOUT: 2 minutes on Level 1 — then beat the buzzer and climb levels; every next level is 90 seconds and the hoop moves 15% faster. The crowd counts down the last 5 seconds. ENDLESS continues until ten resolved misses. A shot already in the air at the buzzer still counts.

SCORINGBucket = 2 points. Clean swish with no rim or board = 3. Three straight makes activates GOLDEN BALLS: every shot turns gold and scores DOUBLE (bucket 4, swish 6) until you miss with one — then it is back to normal. Shoot as fast as you like; there is no waiting between shots.

OFF THE GLASS COUNTS — BANK IT IN FOR 2A kiss off the backboard that drops is a normal bucket, not a swish. A gold bank pays 4.

BOOSTS — LEFT RAILSLOW MO: five straight makes charge it; five seconds of slow ball and hoop. WIDE RIM: three swishes in a run; your next three shots get a wider rim. GOLD RUSH: thirty points in a run; ten seconds where every make pays double.

BOOSTS — RIGHT RAILFREEZE: four straight makes; the hoop stops dead for five seconds. BANKER'S BONUS: two banked makes; fifteen seconds where banked makes pay one extra point. SECOND CHANCE: fifty points; tap to arm it and your next miss is forgiven — no miss counted, streak and golden survive. TAP A LIT BOOST TO USE IT.

RANKSASSOCIATE, MADE MAN, CAPO, and BOSS set the moving hoop's base speed. It still gets faster as your score climbs.

THE LOTTony grabs each next ball from the rack. Seasonal dressing changes the lot only — never the regular orange basketball or the shot.
