About Bouncy Basketball
Bouncy Basketball is arcade basketball. The ball bounces more than you want. You play the bounce, not a tight dribble.
How To Play Bouncy Basketball
Let it come down
Swatting at the top of a bounce is a jump ball you lose.
Shoot off a clean hop
A dying bounce is a brick.
Do not stand under a missed shot without boxing
The bounce is long.
Gameplay Experience
One ball, a hoop, a clock
You are not calling a playbook. You are beating the person in front of you.
Contact is part of it
A late jump into their body is a miss, not a foul call you will get.
Short games
You can play again immediately. That is how you learn the release.
Gameplay Mechanics
Move + steal + shoot
Those three actions are most of the roster.
Release window
The shot is a timing bar or a button. Either way, late is a brick.
Specials
If there is a dunk meter or a three-point line, use it when you actually have space.
