Press anywhere on the court, drag to draw the arc - direction sets the target, distance sets the power - and release. The chalk dots preview exactly where the ball will fly, including wall bounces if you have bought a Guide. A very short flick is ignored so you cannot fire by accident.

They are solid: the ball bounces off them with real physics. Any basket scored after touching a wall or the backboard counts as a bank and pays a style bonus, which turns into coins at the end of the level. Some rims are placed so a direct shot cannot reach them at all - the bank is the intended route.

Three consecutive swishes - baskets that never touch the rim - light the ball up. While it burns, every style bonus you earn pays double, and the streak survives misses only if the burning ball scores; lose a ball without scoring and the fire goes out. It is the reason to prefer clean shots over rattled-in ones.

Because each motion is a different skill. The pendulum swing teaches timing, the slide teaches leading your target, and the elevator makes the height part of the read. They enter the game one at a time over the first dozen courts, so you meet each one on a quiet court before combinations start mixing them.
