Cannon BasketBall 3 Game

Cannon Basketball 3 is a physics puzzle game in the Cannon Basketball series on Coolmath Games. You control a stationary cannon and fire a basketball toward a hoop, and getting it there is rarely a straight shot.

Walls, moving platforms, and switches sit between the cannon and the basket, so each level is really an aiming problem — you have to account for gravity and rebounds rather than just pointing at the hoop. Every level also carries up to three stars to collect, rewarding fewer shots and grabbing bonus stars along the way, and the game offers both an easier and a harder difficulty setting for players who want more of a challenge.

Controls

• Click and drag away from the cannon to aim — the distance you drag sets the power of the shot.
• Release the mouse button to fire.
• On mobile, tap to aim the cannon, then tap the fire button to shoot.

Tips

• Drag distance is what controls power, not just angle — small changes in how far you pull back can move the shot a lot.
• Use walls and moving platforms to bank a shot in when there's no clear straight line to the hoop.
• Go for all three stars in a single attempt where you can — sinking the shot and collecting bonus stars along the way scores higher than just clearing the level.

It suits short sessions: each level is self-contained, so you can clear one or two and move on without any story or progression to keep track of.
