Pick your ball. Locked ones tell you what they cost.

Solo games for when nobody else shows up.

Put SALTY! on your home screen. It opens full screen, starts fast and plays offline. Online rooms still need a connection.

How to play

Take turns. Make a shot from a spot you picked, and the next player is on the hook to make it from exactly there.

• On the hook and you make it? The next player is on the hook from the same spot, until somebody misses.
• If everyone copies it and it comes back to whoever set it, the round is over. They shoot free from a new spot.
• On the hook and you miss? That's a strike, and the next player picks a new spot.
• Missing a free shot costs nothing. The next player just picks a spot.
• Collect enough strikes and you're out. Last one standing wins and gets to be insufferable.
• Tap 💬 during a game to trash talk. Bots talk back.

Picking a spot

Drag your finger on the top-down map. The camera dives down to eye level right there.

Shooting: swipe

• Swipe up from anywhere on the screen, like a free kick.
• Longer swipe, more power. Far shots need a longer swipe.
• The swipe angle is your aim. Straight up goes dead center.
• No power gauge. You feel it, or you brick it.

Shooting: hold meter

• Hold to jump, let go on the green. Drag left or right to keep the reticle on the rim.
• On a computer: Space to shoot, arrow keys to aim.

Online

Create a room, send the link, and up to 5 players share one court. Everyone watches every shot live. You get 45 seconds per turn, then it counts as a miss.

Pro difficulty

Tighter windows, twitchier aim, and no guides until after the shot. Good luck.

Timeout

takes the court. Everyone else: stay salty.
