Some suggestions for improvement: spending a little bit more time on the graphics would go a long way. Just a few black lines would make the orange ball look much much more like a basketball. Same with adding nets to the baskets: without them they look a bit like chairs right now. The "easier game mode" sacrifice could be reworded a bit since I was a bit confused about what it meant: perhaps call it "reduced accuracy"? As others have mentioned, real physics would also make this go a long way. To take this further you could add some sort of power indicator so you know how long to hold the shoot button for.
I played four or five times and my best was 30 points, which looks like high score so far? :)
@dob It was point taken before times running out before, too bad I removed at the last minute. Will put that back in the next version.
@shawn-moore I like how it looks with the new art style and power bar! Will steal that look in the next update ;)
