How to interact with the game
Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Put the rules into context
A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
