About Cannon Basketball
Cannon Basketball is a free physics puzzle game in which you fire a basketball from a cannon and use bounces off walls, platforms and obstacles to reach the hoop. Each level is a fixed arrangement, so the challenge is finding the one angle that works.
It is a puzzle rather than a shooting game. Levels are static, the physics are consistent, and a shot that works once will work every time — so progress comes from reading the geometry and identifying which surface needs to be struck first, rather than from repeated trial.
Later levels add moving platforms, breakable blocks and switches that change the layout mid-flight, which turns some stages into timing problems as well as angle ones. Star ratings reward completing a level in fewer shots, which usually means finding the intended single-bounce solution rather than the multi-bounce one that happens to work.
How to play Cannon Basketball
Aim the cannon and set the power, then fire the ball. Use bounces off walls, platforms and obstacles to reach the hoop. Levels are fixed, so if a shot nearly works, adjust the angle slightly rather than trying something different. Fewer shots earns a higher star rating.
Tips and strategy
- Work backwards from the hoop. Identify the last surface the ball must strike, then find the shot that reaches it.
- Adjust in small increments. Levels are deterministic, so a near miss means you are one small change away.
- Lower power with more bounces is often more controllable than a single powerful shot.
- For three stars, look for the single-bounce solution rather than the multi-bounce one you first found.
