An indie basketball game asks you to dodge incoming balls and keep the hoop empty.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The project frames movement as the central challenge: the hoop drifts with momentum while lobbed balls arrive under increasing pressure. Its development log records practical production details, including a custom typeface with bespoke interface marks and work to make the arena readable across desktop screen shapes. A September 4 entry is explicitly seeking more playtesters, while the site also offers email updates about future builds and log posts.
