Why it hooks
- Ballistic shot feel — charge the power meter, release on the golden flash and the swish is yours. Under-charge it and the rim rattles.
- A CPU that plays you back — the opponent picks its own spots on the floor, and its touch tightens every time you pull ahead.
- Real rebound chess — misses stay live. Box out of the way, sprint in, grab the loose ball and answer before the CPU resets.
- Golden-arc scoring — deep work pays double, so the last possession is always a real basketball decision.
- Dusk-neon arena — procedural crowd, sweeping spotlight, procedural sound. Everything drawn and synthesized in code.
