Also, the music seems to be struggling with this version at times, as if the computer is at its limits.

Having an issue using the SPACE bar (Windows 10 machine, latest version of Chrome) where sometimes the player fails to throw, but on the next press, dips down and the ball goes out of view, again not throwing. Normally when more face on (possibly).

We're all idiots. Never forget that.

There's so few highly accessible sports games for one-switch players with slower reactions. This feels like it would have huge potential for that. Hoop stars always feels like it's too on rails to me: www.oneswitch.org.uk/page/oneswit...

Anyway, just a thought. No pressure.

...the power-element will preclude a lot of potential players from ever scoring apart from by fluke. Maybe a special version:

tap = stop aim adjust and throw far enough to get it straight in (if the aim is true).

hold = stop aim adjust and throw harder to bounce off the backboard.

Could help?

Love it. Compelling and challenging with a good feel. Like the music choice. Thank you for the mention!

One thought for accessibility switch users (who I realise you are not directly targetting)...

Also, how much to sponsor one of the advertising hoardings? No offence taken if you'd rather not. Just curious.

Nice! Is there an easy "reset score" button?

Are you considering a two-player mode? Did you ever see Switch Lanes Bowling. Really nice concept (1-4) players) where if it's not your go, your switch turns into a cheering switch. Might be a fun idea to have cheering/heckling/air-horns for the non-active player. Just a thought.

Gregg Vanderheiden and the Trace Center very important names in EAT (Electronic Assistive Technology). Also worth giving these a read:

Very interesting. I can't see why the Milo concept can't be brought to life now. That would feel like next generation gaming. There were some really good accessibility uses of the Kinect too, such as the OAK switch from Japan. Feels like it slipped through MS's fingers somewhat.

Nasty! I take it you've seen this project? www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic... - I passed on your video. The sound of a disk coming to end of its life, it sounds like to me.
A digital dark age? The people rescuing forgotten knowledge trapped on old floppy disks
From lectures by Stephen Hawking to the letters of British politician Neil Kinnock – it's a race against time to save the historical treasures locked away on old floppy disks.

What's squeaking? The diskette itself?

Fairly disgusting post.
