buckets - 3D Basketball
Shoot, Dribble, Defend, Play.
Free · In‑App Purchases
Buckets is a fast, flick-to-shoot 3D basketball game — simple to pick up, hard to put down.
Drag the ball down to aim — a live shot meter shows your power. Stop your drag in the GREEN band for a PERFECT release: a pure swish that builds HEAT. Misjudge it and the rim isn't so forgiving. Read the defender, drag into the pump-fake zone to send him flying, then rise up and cook him — crossovers, ankle breakers, lockdown defense, and thunderous DUNKS.
FIVE WAYS TO PLAY
- Campaign — a story mode with cutscenes: climb a road of themed levels (1v1, defense, deep threes, dunks) on 2 lives each, earning Buckets as you go.
- Pickup Games — full 5-on-5: move the ball, feed your teammates, play defense, and win the game.
- Arcade — endless survival. Your streak climbs and the defense tightens, with dunk slams, time-attack, sudden-death and lockdown challenges mixed in.
- Defense — flip sides and lock the opponent down: slide, contest, and swat shots away.
- 1v1 — a level-climbing one-on-one. Dribble, break ankles, drive and throw down. Every bucket levels you up.
Plus a built-in Tutorial to learn the timing.
UPGRADE YOUR PLAYER
Level up like a pro — boost Shooting, Dunking, Dribbling and Pokes, plus Speed, Blocks and Ankle Strength. Five tiers, Rookie to Legend.
DOZENS OF MINIGAMES
Twists drop mid-game — DUNK ZONE, NO-LOOK SHOTS, DOUBLE TEAM, ANKLE BREAKER, SUPA DUNK, 2-ON-1 and more.
REWARDS & STYLE
- Daily login rewards on a 7-day streak.
- Daily & Weekly Quests that pay out Buckets and Ad-Skips for scoring, dunking, breaking ankles and more.
- Earn Buckets to unlock a huge shop: jerseys, balls, arenas, trails, victory taunts, hats & accessories, and music tracks.
A fully procedural arena: a jersey-wearing defender who contests, blocks, and reaches for steals — and gets smarter every level — a roaring crowd, spotlights, and dunk cinematics where your player throws it down over the top.
