Basket Fall is an off-the-wall basketball simulation game developed by Kumobius. Instead of traditional shooting, players interact with a swinging rope tied to a basketball or various themed objects. By tapping the screen to sever the rope, you must carefully time the drop to land the ball inside moving baskets, avoid moving spikes, and bounce off pinball bumpers. The game features dozens of unlockable cosmetic themes, dynamic soundtrack effects, and high-score leaderboards.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Basket Fall is another brilliant entry in Kumobius's repertoire of delightfully simple yet incredibly addictive mobile arcade titles. By taking the classic rope-cutting mechanic popularized by games like Cut the Rope and applying it to basketball physics, the game creates an instant 'just one more try' loop. The tactile satisfaction of timing a cut perfectly and seeing the ball swish cleanly through a moving hoop never gets old.
What elevates Basket Fall above generic physics puzzlers is its outrageous presentation and subtle depth. Unlocking new themes changes more than just the visual aesthetic—it entirely transforms the soundscape and particle effects, swapping basketballs for coconuts, retro game cartridges, or cosmic objects. Combined with trick shot bonuses and increasingly absurd hazards like pinball bumpers, Basket Fall offers a rich, polish-heavy casual experience perfect for quick gaming sessions.
Features
Simple one-tap rope-cutting controls
Over 30 unlockable whimsical character and ball themes
Dynamic obstacles including pinball bumpers and moving spike walls
Bonus points awarded for ricochets, swishes, and streak combinations
Game Center leaderboards and score tracking
Tips & Walkthrough
Watch the swing rhythm of the rope before tapping. Because the ball momentum carries forward upon cutting, release slightly before the ball aligns with the rim to ensure a smooth drop into the center.
As levels progress, moving walls, spike traps, and pinball bumpers will appear. Use side walls to ricochet shots into the hoop when a direct angle is blocked, earning extra bonus points for trick shots.
Gameplays
Simple tap controls allow players to instantly slice the rope holding the ball. Timing is critical as basketball hoops move left and right at varying speeds.
Earn high scores to unlock over 30 unique themes, such as dropping fish for penguins, aliens into black holes, or coconuts for yogis, complete with reactive audio samples.

App Store Editors’ Notes
❤️ it
Mon Dec 11 2017 Dancing Unicorn KidzBella08: 5 I love this game. There is over 26 amazing themes and so far the doge is my favorite. I wish there were more games like this. Nonnie16: 4 This is a good game. I rate 4 stars because it could be better, sometimes when the ball reached its place, it falls down and you lose. Please fix. Evie07: 2 I rate 2 because every time I start the game it shuts off. Although it’s a OK game, it could be WAYYYY better. Karen12: 5 (wish I could rate more) My sisters/brothers are rating this app so I decided, “Why not?” I’m 12 which you can see after my name, here is my rating. Mostly I’m nice about this stuff but this time I’m really nice. I rated this app 5 because the graphics are great and the levels are fun and challenging. It couldn’t be better. Welina21: 1 I don’t like this game, I mean, my sisters and brothers think it’s a great game but, not me. I rate 1 star because everything shuts off at once. I only have 4 levels and all of them are BORING. I’m sorry, it will be better soon I hope. Kat10: 5 Better then most games and terrific picture mode to my module phone. I rate 5 stars because it was a gift from my grandpa before he died on my 7th birthday. Also cause it has different balls, but only one game like candy shops.
One of my favorites
Wed Jan 13 2021 DemoposaurusI definitely recommend this game for anyone, no matter the game genre you prefer. Its chill to play, has good game mechanics, and the physics is fun to play around with. There are no advertisements constantly plaguing my screen - in fact no ad’s at all. Payments are optional, its all cosmetic, but even then theres an in game reward system where you gain coins to make the small purchases if you wanted to. I agree with other reviews where i wish there were more games like this. Thank you to the development team :)
Still Playing
Sun Dec 25 2022 JoonkanooThis may sound pathetic, but I don’t care. I’ve been playing this game for over 4+ years (on and off of course). I decided to write a review now because I notice that all the other reviews are from like 5 years ago. So, I thought I’d throw in a fresh one and just say that this game has been there for me always in my time of boredom and free time. Thanks for still being around. Oh and hey, develop some new swinging things, huh? My favs are Panda, Doge and Chopsticks.

This is nostalgia for me
Tue Oct 25 2022 david grohlingtonThank you App Store for recommending this. I remember playing it as a kid on my grandpa’s iPad about 6 or 7 years ago. Me and my uncles would always see who had the best high score. Thank you App Store for this!!! 😁
It’s a great game to play
Fri Mar 09 2018 Hooter_J_80My 9 year old autistic nephew loves to play it. He has won almost all of the balls but the first one it’s a coin that goes in a piggy bank he has 880 coins but there’s no spot to click on anything to buy the last ball with the coins he has won after the last update please fix this or make it to where you can buy something 🤬😡.... do you know how hard it is to tell an autistic kid he can’t save up coins and buy anything
Super Fun!
Tue Jun 04 2019 jdutton18Basket Fall is for almost any age and is totally addicting! Even if you only have a minute you can still play. One of the few games where I laugh when I lose but want to get right back in it and play again! Love it!!
