Cool! Nice and simple and to-the-point. I assume further unlocks are just background scenery, right? Shot a few hoops of my own and it was good to kill a few minutes over lunch, like any perfectly respectable phone app. ;)

I think, since it's a small game, my primary feedback would be on the earliest player experiences. Developing an in-gameplay tutorial (some helper arrows, animations) rather than a separate help screen would be a good win. Players like learning by doing.

Plus: if you design a fixed, limited-session tutorial level (where you've only got X balls to throw and aren't racking up points), you won't need to present players with their first video adverts while they're still trying to comprehend the system -- you can leave that for the "real" levels. In my experience, I flubbed my first few shots completely and was quickly interrupted by ads when I was still in my comprehension phase, which can be quite a bit of friction for a new user.

my 2c ;)

Also some small improvements/extensions:

- Either speeding up or removing the animated "sliding buttons" on the menu could be useful. I think players like just being able to do things absolutely *instantly* on mobile, especially if they're going to be playing your game repeatedly.
- Unlockable balls with slightly different physics would be rad. Bowling ball for near-hoop shots, bouncy balls which you have to throw at the ground rather than the hoop directly, etc

Hi Nandrew!

thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it. We will definitely try to take some of your suggestions in our next version.
