Game overview
Crazy BasketBall Machine is a shooting gallery built around a hoop that will not stay still. You set the arc and let fly, and the game keeps moving the target, changing the distance and adding conditions that break the rhythm you just settled into. Scoring rewards a run of clean shots, so the pressure comes from not wanting to break a streak rather than from a clock.
This title is best suited to players who want a quick basketball shooting challenge with a streak to protect.
