I love it!

I think it nails the feeling of the jump shot very well for a one button game!

However, if I may offer a little bit of feedback: I feel the release point for shot is a little bit too early.

I think it would feel a bit better if it was set when the character has its arm perfectly straight.

Thanks! The arm should extend fully when throwing the ball with full force, as you keep the button pressed. Might be a bug, if this does not happen.

I meant the timing you need to have to release the shot to get a bucket without hitting the backboard is a little bit too early. As someone who watches and plays a lot of basketball, this does not feel right, as if the character was releasing the ball without proper follow through.

Oh, I see! I'm not sure what the arm would do when you'd want to throw it further than the rim, hitting the backboard first, if it was fully extended already. Perhaps I could have the shoulder move then, hmm. Thanks for the input!

v1.0.3 has the arm visuals tweaked a bit, to address this. There's still no proper follow through, but the arm should look fully extended sooner.
