What's the catch? There doesn't seem to be one. No ads, no fees, just a fun and attractive game to while away moments waiting in line or on public transport. Here's Basketball Tournament in action:
The two main game modes are both 'local', i.e. you're playing against your own high scores ('ranking') or against AI players ('tournament') - in the latter, you get a chance (right) to customise every last aspect, from setting to number of shots and distance, etc.
Gameplay is by swiping upwards and to the side (if needed) with just the right amount of velocity to propel the ball into the net - it's realistic, especially the way the ball bounces off/round the ring...; (right) working your way up the ranking ladder includes checkpoints so that when you fail you don't have to go right back to the start each time!
The graphical settings are well done, even if the onlookers never ever move! (right) Ooh, a new high score on the ladder!
Progressively the difficulty rises, with distant baskets, as here, and odder angles - and hundreds of onlookers - no pressure, then?! (right) 'Sing in'? Eh? A rare typo in this otherwise professionally made game.
You can grab Basketball Tournament here, it's a free download and great fun.
