Combining elements of popular mobile games with the action of basketball, Ball King - Arcade Basketball is an engaging game that will constantly challenge you to surpass your own high score.
Getting Started
The game requires you to shoot free throws at a basketball hoop that changes its position after each shot. While this could become monotonous, Ball King ensures that every missed shot is a learning experience rather than a source of frustration.
By dragging down and back on the screen, you can see the upward trajectory and power of your shot. The downward arc, however, remains unseen, leaving you to use your skills and judgment to predict where the ball will land. This can be quite challenging as the hoop's constant movement means that each shot's arc is unique. To add a layer of complexity, wind comes into play at higher levels, altering the trajectory of your shots.
Mastering the Game
Once you've mastered the basic trajectory, it's all about perfecting your aim. To keep the game interesting, Ball King offers two gameplay modes.
The first is the challenge mode where you are required to make consecutive shots until you miss. Along the way, you can collect gems and letters that add to your in-game currency. The second mode is a timed challenge that allows you to score as many points as possible in a minute. Clean shots add bonus time while misses result in time loss. Making three clean shots consecutively will set you on fire and earn you more points per basket.
Both modes offer an enthralling experience, but the timed challenge can be more forgiving as it doesn't force you to restart after every mistake.
Gameplay Experience
While the gameplay may seem repetitive, Ball King succeeds in offering an enjoyable distraction. The game's charming art style, variety of balls with different bounce physics, and unique backgrounds to unlock ensure you'll be eager to play again and again.
