Dribble Dozen: Basketball Game

How many can you keep alive?

Balls check in one at a time, and each one needs a hand on the way up. Miss the moment and it starts dribbling lower, faster, running out of air. Twelve balls in, three lost, and it's over.

HOW IT WORKS

• A ball rises. Tap it near the top and it's a clean dribble, full energy
• Tap it halfway and it gets by on half energy
• Tap it at the floor and nothing happens
• Leave it alone and it fades: lower bounce, faster rhythm, its ring closing, its color draining to gray
• A new ball checks in every few seconds, until there are twelve on the court

WHY IT'S HARD

• With every new ball the court speeds up: the balls roam faster, change direction more often and fade sooner
• More balls on the court means less time to get back to each one
• Lose three balls and the game is final

WHAT MAKES A RUN

The scoreboard counts two things: your dribbles and the game clock. Every tap adds to the count, every second the balls stay up adds to the clock. Your best time, your most dribbles and the most balls you've ever kept up at once wait on the home screen for you to beat.

FREE, WITH ADS

Dribble Dozen is free. There's no account and nothing to buy. Lose your third ball and you can watch a short video to keep the run going, once per game, and an ad shows up now and then between games. That's the whole model: no subscriptions, no coins. The game works offline; only the ads and the leaderboard need a connection.

EIGHT LANGUAGES

English, Español, Português, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Polski and 日本語. The game starts in your phone's language, and you can switch it on the home screen.

BUILT FOR SHORT SESSIONS

A run can end in thirty seconds or go well past ten balls if your hands are quick. Play one while the coffee brews, one on the bus, one more because the last one didn't count.

Keep a dozen alive.
