Toy is based on projectile motion.
The age group is older, 8 and up.
The player places a ball in the toys player’s hand. A lever is depressed that launches the ball towards a basket. Players take turns shooting.
The balls are small so they are not recommended for young kids due to safety and coordination concerns.
Cost would be the highest of the previous toys. It is larger and complicated with many moving parts.
