Basketball Game 3D — Unity Asset
Basketball Game 3D — cross-platform Unity Asset in the sport arcade genre with realistic physics of basketball net & ring, ring growing & hoop movement, advanced scoring & audio systems.

During an encounter with the Basketball Hoop, a player may throw the ball by:
- clicking/tapping any point on the screen (by default);
- flicking/swiping the object from the bottom of the screen up toward the target.
Both modes form different speed and throw direction based on the last position of finger or mouse cursor, what makes the game even more interesting. Throw Diligently & Try to Get the Best Score!
