Online Basketball Game

Practise your basketball shooting with this free online java game. It looks easy to score a basket, but it takes quite a bit of practice to get the ball to land in the basket.

Instructions: Click your mouse on the ball and, (with the button still pressed) move your mouse in the direction you would like the ball to go. The ball will then go in that direction and will bounce off the side walls and floor if it hits them. To increase the strength of the shot, drag your mouse further before releasing the button.

Don't worry if the ball goes out of the top of the game area, after a few seconds it will come down again. You can turn off the sound by clicking on the loudspeaker icon in the top left corner of the game area. When you get the ball in the basket you score one point. Click your mouse on the ball to get it out of the basket.
