Play basketball on your iPhone, iPod or iPad. First practice and then try to hit as often as possible with 20 shots or with a limited number of attempts per hit. How to play: Tap and hold the ball and drag the finger into the direction you want to shoot. The length determines the speed of the shot. Release the finger to shoot. The ball bounces realisticly from walls and the hoop. So you can even do trick shots. Adjust the difficulty by adding a ceiling, fixing the basket and changing the gravity.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: 3 at Free against Basketball Game's $1.99. 3 also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 14 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Basketball Game's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
