1 on 1 Basketball: control changes

I like feedback on my games. It urges me to try to create stuff I thought about but thought I couldn't do before. It urges me to do things I haven't even thought about doing. So based on some, I changed the controls. I tried doing this before, but couldn't get it to work. But now I did for some reason. When the player has the ball, the longer the action button is pressed, the farther the guy will shoot. So just a light tap on the action button results in a wimpy throw, but a long tap results in a longer throw. I also moved the score up more so it will be visible on most TVs. I tried to make the score not disappear when the game ends. I didn't know it did because I didn't test it for 20 minutes.

 

I wondered whether or not the ball goes behind the net or on top of it. I just found out today that it looks like the ball is behind the net so it looks like it's going inside it, which is what I wanted. I thought about this when I was trying to go to sleep one night, but I fell asleep.

 

And as it looks like this won't be released any time soon, I've decided to make the ROM available. I'll post it in the Odyssey² section. The guy I partnered with apparently only wants 1 player games. I gave him this to try and he said he attempted a basketball game of his own, but abandoned it after he decided he didn't know how to make it 1 player.
