How to play Basketball 3D
Move with the stick or WASD and arrow keys. Hold SHOOT and let go when the meter reaches the green line; a perfect release is almost certain to drop, while a contested or rushed shot often rims out. Drive close to the hoop and SHOOT becomes a dunk or lay-up. In 3 v 3, PASS finds the most open team-mate. On defence, SHOOT jumps to block and PASS reaches for a steal, but a missed steal leaves you a step behind. Every possession has a 14-second shot clock, and after each basket the other side checks the ball at the top of the key.

- Stay between your player and the hoop; jump only when they rise to shoot.
