What Basketball Line is
Basketball Line is a drawing puzzle. You drag a path that carries basketballs into the hoop, and that path has to stay off the bombs.
Reaching the hoop is not enough. A line that touches a bomb fails the shot even when the end of the line is in the net.
Stopping the drag too soon leaves a gap. The ball follows the route you drew, not the route you meant to finish.
Core mechanics
The drag is the road. Curves are how you leave a bomb on one side and still arrive at the hoop. A straight line is only right when nothing sits on it.
Gaps break the carry. If you lift early, the ball does not jump the missing piece on its own.
Basket & Ball walks a ball across platforms instead of drawing. Basket Goal slides pieces until they hit something. Neither input draws this path.
Highlights
- Draw a path from the ball to the hoop.
- Crossing a bomb fails the shot.
- An unfinished drag leaves a gap the ball will not cross.
- The ball follows the line you released, not your intention.
- No player, no shot meter, and no platform jump.
What this page covers
- Basketball Line is the drawn path. Bombs cancel a line even when that line ends in the hoop.
- Basket & Ball moves the ball across platforms and uses a spacebar bounce. You do not draw the road.
- Basket Goal slides pieces until they collide, with undo and R. A drawn line is a different puzzle.
How to play
- Look for bombs before you put the pointer down.
- Drag a continuous line that reaches the hoop and misses every bomb.
- Do not lift until the line is complete.
- If the ball stops in a gap, redraw the missing piece as part of a new full path.
- Ignore jump and shoot keys. The drag is the whole move.

Strategy
Route around the bomb first
A line into the hoop that crosses a bomb still fails. Bend the path before you celebrate the ending.
Finish the drag
Stopping too soon leaves a gap. The ball does not invent the rest of the route.
Redraw the whole carry
Patching in your head does not move the ball. The next attempt needs one continuous line.
Common mistakes
- A line that reaches the hoop but crosses a bomb still fails the shot.
- Stopping the drag too soon leaves a gap, so the ball does not follow the route you intended.
A run from start to finish
Find every bomb before the pointer goes down. Drag one continuous curve that ends in the hoop and never touches those bombs. Lift only at the end. If you lift in the middle, the ball stops in the gap and does not finish the route you were picturing.
A line that reaches the net and still fails crossed a bomb. Bend the next path farther around that spot instead of drawing the same straight ending. You are not walking platforms and you are not sliding a crate. The drawing is the whole move.
Draw the obvious straight line into the hoop first if a bomb sits on it, and watch the fail. The ball can reach the net and still die because the path touched the bomb. The next drag leaves that bomb on the outside of a curve and does not lift until the hoop. If the ball stops halfway, you lifted early and left a gap. The ball will not finish a route that exists only in your head. Platforms and sliding crates are other puzzles. Here the continuous line is the only move, and a bomb on that line is a failed clear.
- Scan the bombs.
- Put the pointer down and drag a clean curve.
- End in the hoop without a gap.
- Release and watch the ball follow that exact line.
- If it fails, find whether the cause was a bomb or a gap, then redraw.

Basket Goal Puzzle
Also a planning puzzle, but pieces slide until they hit an obstacle instead of following a drawn line.
Basket Slide
Also a board you solve before the score. You slide the ball and the basket instead of drawing a path.
Paper Flick
Also a drag you release. Wind changes the throw, and the target is a waste basket, not a bomb-free path.
Questions about Basketball Line
Why does a line into the hoop fail in Basketball Line?
It crossed a bomb. Touching a bomb fails the shot even when the line reaches the net.
What happens if you stop dragging early?
The path has a gap. The ball does not follow a route you only intended.
Is this the platform game?
No. Basket & Ball walks and bounces the ball across platforms. This page is a drawn path.
