Game overview

Ketchapp Basketball is arcade hoops at its most direct: shoot, score, repeat, with a two-point bonus for the shots that go straight through without touching the rim. That single rule changes how you play, because the safe backboard shot pays half as much as the clean one. Runs stay short and the scoreline does all the talking.

This title is best suited to a fast arcade hoops high-score run.
