Basketball rebuilt as a platformer. There is no shooting and no defence; there is a run-up, a set of platforms and a hoop, and the dunk happens if you arrive with the right speed from the right place. That makes it a momentum game wearing a sports jersey, and the scoring rewards chains rather than individual baskets. Which means the interesting decision is always about the landing rather than the dunk. Coming down badly kills the speed you spent three platforms building, so the players who chain long runs are the ones taking the modest dunk that preserves momentum instead of the spectacular one that does not. Runs are short, restarts are instant, and the difficulty comes from platform spacing rather than from anything being faster. It is a simple idea with one good decision in it, repeated well.

How to play Dunk Dash
- Build speed on the flat sections before attempting a chain.
- Take the dunk that lands you moving forward rather than the one that scores most.
- Jump from the near edge of a platform so a short jump still lands.
- Read two platforms ahead, since the landing decision comes before the jump.
- Restart immediately; momentum feel is what carries between runs.
Tips
- A chain of three modest dunks scores better than one huge dunk that ends the run.
- Landing on a descending platform keeps speed; landing on a rising one kills it.
- If runs end at the same gap, you need more approach speed rather than a bigger jump.
