About this game
Arcade Hoops is a quick-fire basketball shooting game. You have sixty seconds and a rack of balls that never runs out. Swipe up from the ball to shoot: the length of the swipe sets the power and its angle aims left and right. Every basket moves you to a new spot on the floor, further out and further to the side as the game goes on. A basket is worth 2 points and a swish, nothing but net, is worth 3. Make three in a row and you are on fire: every basket counts double until you miss. With thirty seconds left the hoop starts sliding from side to side, so you have to lead it. A shot already in the air when the buzzer goes still counts. The ball flies with real physics. It can roll around the rim and drop, bounce off the backboard and in, or rattle out, and the net swishes when it goes through. Every spot in the daily shootout has been checked against that same physics: each one can be scored, each one allows a swish, and each one leaves a real margin for error, even while the hoop is moving. Take the Daily Shootout, where everyone gets the same spots, keep your streak going and share your score, or play Free Play for new spots every game and send a friend the exact same shots. Play with touch, a mouse or the keyboard. No download and no sign-up.
