## What is Basketball Messenger 2016?

Michael Jordan is not my idol. I don't know how to play basketball and my favorite sport is ping pong.
But Basketball is a very classic and simple game. Throw the balls into basketball net and that's it .

- 3 Game Play modes ( Free, Time Limit, Endless).
+In Free mode you have 20 balls and the game is over when you throw all of them.
+In Time mode you have 60 seconds and you have to score as much as you can before time is up.
+In Endless mode you have 3 lives or balls or whatever you want to call them and you will die when you've failed 3 times.
- 2 control modes.You can play by using tap (Easy way if you think this game is too hard for you) or sliding on the screen (Hard way if you have some basketball skills).

Try it.Challenge yourself, your friends and have fun.
Like I said I don't know how to play basketball and Michael Jordan is not my idol when I created this game but It's worth for you to try.

A friend of mine asked me why I don't use In-app purchases system for Ball Shop .I just don't want to .To be honest ,I really hate In-app purchases .If you want to unlock new balls ,just play the game and collect stars and use them for shopping .A good throwing ball give you 1 star and a perfect one give you 3 stars .
New look,more balls,more fun !
