Gameplay
Gameplay
The player controls players on an attacking basketball team at the final round of a game; it is not possible to play as the defending team, who always starts at a significantly higher score than the player's. The player must attempt to pass the ball to other teammates before throwing it within a strict time limit, scoring 2 points within the 3 point line and 3 points outside it. Fouls or failing to pass the ball result in further reduction of the time limit. Games are won when the player successfully scores more than the opposing team when the time is up.
