ok so basically my game is in topdown view and i want to be able to press the shoot button and launch a ball or something from object to another simulating the effect of it being thrown. What i mean is it goes in the air then slowly decelerates and drops to the object its being thrown at

Well correct me if wrong but it seems the most simple way is to increase the y axis position while decreaseing the x axis position, and for more realism add friction with the air.
