Three Point Bandits: Basketball SuperDunk! is a swipe basketball game designed for touch-enabled mobile platforms. The goal is to beat the clock by achieving the stated targets for each round.

Designed and developed from the ground up over a two-year period as a hobby, the influence of old-school, 2D, side view genres is soon clear. Partly driven by the desire to create a game, and partly to improve on other games already on the market, building SuperDunk! has its genesis in wanting to make the most of touch screen capabilities in an intuitive and natural interface for this format.

SuperDunk! is a game of physical skill. Although an element of luck is involved, muscle memory, stamina and strategy win the day. Be mentally prepared for sore, tired hands as you train up to sieze all three stars.

• Featuring proprietary touch controls that provide unprecedented ball handling capabilities

1. Throw angle is determined by the direction of your swipe
2. Throw speed is decided by the length or pace of your swipe. Long or quick flicks throw the ball faster
3. Spin direction and amount are controlled by the arc of your swipe. Downward curve gives backspin. Upward curve gives forward spin

• Full control slam dunk mechanism. Although many games advertise this feature, none delivered adequately at the time—so, I built my own. Using just one finger, you can jump four ways and dunk seven ways. Layups, fade away shots, slam dunks? You bet! By linking together moves, different shots, ranging from easy to hard are made possible

• When passing to teammate, five different alley-oops are available depending on how the ball is caught. Bounce off the ground, off the back board or from a robot’s head

• Play with up to five balls simultaneously

1. Earn coins to play more balls
2. Upgrade gear. Standard ball is slightly over inflated with worn tread. Better balls glide through the air with ease, improving accuracy
3. Novelty balls are out of this world
