How to play Dunkbrush

Dunkbrush is a basketball puzzle that lets you draw the route instead of steering a player. The ball has to reach the hoop, and your line acts as a guide or ramp. Each level gives you a small space to think through where the ball starts, where the basket sits, and how gravity will move the shot.

The drawing mechanic changes the usual basketball question from “when should I shoot?” to “what path will carry the ball?” A short angled line can help redirect a falling ball, while a longer slope may give it a steady route. The game is best approached as a series of compact experiments.

Dunkbrush controls: draw with mouse or touch

Use the mouse to draw a line on the play area and create the path the basketball needs. Touch players can draw with a finger. The line should help the ball enter the hoop rather than simply cover the basket, so consider how the ball will contact each part of your drawing as it moves.

Start with a simple guide and see what the physics do. If the ball rolls away, add a better angle or adjust where the line begins. If the ball reaches the rim but does not fall through, think about whether the path sends it across the hoop too quickly or from the wrong side.

Use the level layout to plan a dunk

Before drawing, check the distance between the ball and the hoop and look for objects that can block a direct route. A useful path can redirect momentum, keep the ball from falling short, or guide it into a narrow opening. The level layout is part of the puzzle, so a small curve or ramp may be more effective than a long stroke.

Dunkbrush rewards observing the result of each line. After a miss, note whether the ball stopped early, went too high, or passed the basket. Change the path in response to that result. This makes the mouse or touch input feel like a tool for solving the screen rather than a repeated random scribble.

Dunkbrush compared with other basketball games

Choose Dunkbrush when you want a one-player drawing challenge. It differs from Cannon Basketball 2, 3, and 4, which aim a cannon, because Dunkbrush uses a drawn line to shape the ball's route. It also differs from arcade court games that ask you to move, defend, or shoot during a live match.

The Basketball Games collection includes both puzzle and match formats. Open a related card for another game, or visit the 2 Player Basketball Games category if you want a shared-keyboard contest.

Dunkbrush controls

• Use the mouse to draw a path or ramp that directs the basketball toward the hoop.
• On a touch screen, draw the guide line with a finger; the ball follows the line and gravity.

Dunkbrush uses drawing rather than player movement. Keep the path connected to the ball's route and watch the live level prompt for any stage-specific rule.
