FAQ
Is there a goal or a score?
Run it up is a shootaround. You pull back, release, and watch each shot find the rim. Every shot follows the same simple steps, and you can keep shooting for as long as you like.
How do I aim and shoot?
With a mouse or touch, press and drag back on the ball to set up your shot, then let go to release it. You then watch the ball travel toward the hoop.
Is it a quiet game?
Yes. It is set in an empty school gym with no noise, and it is built for slowing down and paying attention to each throw.
Can I play with friends?
Run it up is a solo game about shooting around on your own. It is not a multiplayer game.
How long does a round last?
There is no set length. It suits a few minutes of focused shooting when you want a short break, and you can carry on for as long as you like.
