Dunkbrush

Sketch a ramp, flick the ball, and pray physics doesn't betray you — every stroke in Dunkbrush is a tiny gamble.

Dunkbrush drops you into a deceptively simple setup: a ball rests somewhere on screen, a hoop hovers nearby, and your only tool is a paintbrush that draws solid lines. You click and drag to sketch a shape — a ramp, a curve, a little scoop — and then gravity does the rest. The first time I drew a sloppy arch and watched the ball roll up, hang for a split second, and drop clean through the net, I actually fist-pumped. It's that kind of arcade satisfaction. What makes it stick is how much nuance hides in a single line. Too steep and the ball bounces off the wall. Too shallow and it rolls backwards. A tiny bump at the end can send your shot flying over the backboard. I found myself redrawing the same level five times, adjusting the angle by half a pixel, convinced the next stroke would be perfect. Sometimes it was. Other times the ball clipped the rim and spun around the cylinder like it was mocking me. The physics feel weighty, almost rubbery, so every miss teaches you something about how the ball reacts to your line. There's no timer, no lives, no punishing scoreboard — just you, a blank canvas, and a hoop that seems to drift further away with each level. It's meditative until you're on attempt twenty, muttering at your mouse. That's the charm. Dunkbrush doesn't ask you to master complex mechanics; it dares you to draw one perfect line. And when you finally do, the little bounce through the net feels earned.

Click and drag your mouse to create a line.

Redraw as many times as you need — your previous line disappears the moment you start a new stroke, so experiment shamelessly. Aim for gentle slopes rather than steep drops; the ball picks up speed fast and will skip right over the rim. Use the hoop's backboard to your advantage — draw a small vertical wall behind it to catch overshooting balls. If the ball stalls on a flat line, add a tiny downward flick at the end to give it just enough momentum. Short lines are often better than long curves; they keep the ball's path predictable and reduce bounce weirdness. Watch how the ball spins after contact — a ball with backspin will grip your line differently than one rolling forward.
