Night falls over the water, the windows of the towers flicker on, and a glass backboard catches the glow of a torch across the bay. Take the city one district at a time. Uptown Uptown is where the streetball legends grew up, and here the court is personal. The Rival Duel lines up five opponents, from Rio the pier regular to Dex the cage legend, each a little sharper than the last. You trade five shots apiece from the same spot, a tie goes to extra pairs, and every rival you beat opens the next rung of the ladder. Midtown Up on the rooftops, where wooden water towers still crown the old buildings, the Night Tour climbs through 20 levels on five courts. Swipe upward to shoot, follow the dotted arc, and play the sway of the hoop and the drift of the breeze. Hit the target score for a star, reach further for two or three, and gather all 60 along the route. Downtown Head down to Greenwich Village and the fenced court on West 4th Street known as The Cage, a court of its own in the tour. Nearby, the Ferry Run quiz sails through eight stops of real city facts with three life rings to keep you afloat. The waterfront Every four levels you clear opens a chapter of the story, six in all, from the dock lamps to the torch across the bay. Lights collected from stars, baskets, duels and the quiz go towards a longer aiming guide, extra seconds on the clock and four ball skins in the Locker. The log keeps your accuracy, stars per court, the rival ladder and the last 20 duels, all offline.
