About Otto's Basketball Game
Otto's Basketball Game is a one-button basketball game, and the button is pretty much any key you like. Press to shoot hoops, and that's the whole game.
A throw has two timed moments. Press and hold a key to start, which locks your shooting position, then release it to lock the power. That pair of timings decides whether the ball goes in.
Stop for a few seconds and your stats show up. You can play Otto's Basketball Game online here, and it's Otto's Basketball Game free to play. A shot takes seconds, and it's just you and the hoop.

What to Expect in Otto's Basketball Game
It's a game about feel. With one button there's nowhere to hide: you get a position and a power, and nothing else, so improvement comes from learning the timing in your own hands.
The stats board is the quiet hook. It tracks your shooting, and the steeper angles above 60 degrees get an accuracy percentage of their own, which gives you a reason to switch them on and see if you can hit the harder shots.
It's a pick-up-and-play toy, and the pleasure is a clean swish that came from nothing but a press and a release. The music is by saavane and keeps things light.
