buckets - 3D Basketball

Buckets is a fast, flick-to-shoot 3D basketball game — simple to pick up, hard to put down.

Drag the ball down to aim — a live shot meter shows your power. Stop your drag in the GREEN band for a PERFECT release: a pure swish that builds HEAT. Misjudge it and the rim isn't so forgiving. Read the defender, drag into the pump-fake zone to send him flying, then rise up and cook him — crossovers, ankle breakers, lockdown defense, and thunderous DUNKS.

FIVE WAYS TO PLAY

• Campaign — a story mode with cutscenes: climb a road of themed levels (1v1, defense, deep threes, dunks) on 2 lives each, earning Buckets as you go.
• Pickup Games — full 5-on-5: move the ball, feed your teammates, play defense, and win the game.
• Arcade — endless survival. Your streak climbs and the defense tightens, with dunk slams, time-attack, sudden-death and lockdown challenges mixed in.
• Defense — flip sides and lock the opponent down: slide, contest, and swat shots away.
• 1v1 — a level-climbing one-on-one. Dribble, break ankles, drive and throw down. Every bucket levels you up.

Plus a built-in Tutorial to learn the timing.
