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.
