How to Play THE LINEAR BASKETBALL

The Linear Basketball is an unblocked casual puzzle game where you never throw the ball yourself. Instead, you draw lines on the screen, and those lines lead the basketballs into the rings. Every ball you guide in earns points, so the whole game is about drawing the right line at the right moment.

Bombs make it trickier. The game warns you to beware of them or you will get hurt, and you must be careful not to guide a bomb into a ring, so each line has to help the basketballs while keeping the bombs away. As you keep playing, the number of balls and rings increases and the game gradually speeds up, which leaves less time to think about every line you draw.

There is very little room for error, because losing three balls ends the game. You can play with a mouse on a computer or by touch on a phone or tablet. With simple controls and a difficulty that keeps rising, The Linear Basketball is a quick brain teaser that rewards careful planning and a steady hand.

THE LINEAR BASKETBALL Tips & Tricks

  • Plan around the bombs first, because a line that reaches a ring but passes a bomb will hurt you.
  • You can only lose three balls before it is all over, so treat each ball as a limited resource rather than a free attempt.
  • Look at where the rings sit before you draw anything, since the line you need is defined by the target as much as by the ball.
  • The longer route is worth taking when it keeps a ball clear of a bomb.
  • The game states that it gets harder the more you play, so expect more balls and more rings than you started with.

Is THE LINEAR BASKETBALL Unblocked at School?

Yes. THE LINEAR BASKETBALL runs entirely inside your browser tab as an HTML5 game, so there is nothing to download, install or unzip and no plugin such as Flash or Java is required. That matters on a school or office network, because the filters used on those networks usually block installers and app stores rather than ordinary web pages. It works the same way on a school Chromebook, an iPad or a phone as it does on a desktop — the game adapts to the screen you open it on. If the page loads for you, the game will run.

THE LINEAR BASKETBALL FAQ

How many balls can you lose in The Linear Basketball?

Three. The Linear Basketball ends the run once three balls have been lost, which keeps the margins tight: there is no bank of extra chances behind that, only the three-ball allowance stretched across the whole session.

What do the bombs do?

They hurt you. The Linear Basketball tells you to beware of the bombs, so they are hazards to route around rather than targets, and avoiding them is what limits where a line can usefully go.

How does The Linear Basketball get harder?

By adding pieces. The number of balls and rings increases as you go, so the same drawing space has to serve more objectives at once, and the game states that it gets harder the more you play.

What do the drawn lines actually do?

They lead the balls. In The Linear Basketball you draw a line and the ball is led along it towards a ring, so the game asks you to use your brain on where the line goes rather than to move the ball yourself.

What is the goal in The Linear Basketball?

Getting the basketballs into the rings. The Linear Basketball asks you to draw lines that lead every ball into a ring while keeping it clear of the bombs, and play continues, with more balls and rings, until three balls have been lost.
