Hoop Shot

Pull back, aim and shoot on a dusk playground court. Sink as many baskets as you can in 60 seconds: swishes score more, streaks multiply, and the hoop starts to move.

Hoop Shot

The streetlights are coming on over a little playground court and you have one rack of balls and 60 seconds on the clock. Pull back, let go, and listen for the swish.

Every basket moves you to a new spot on the court, a clean swish is worth more than a rim-in, and a streak of baskets multiplies your points. Halfway through, the hoop stops standing still.

How to play

1. Pick a difficulty and press Start shooting.
2. Press anywhere on the court, pull back away from the hoop and release. The ball flies the

opposite way; the longer the pull, the harder the throw. The arrow and the ring around the ball show the angle and the power before you let go.

1. The ball bounces off the rim, the backboard and the floor like a real ball. If it drops through

the hoop from above, it is a basket.

1. As soon as the ball lands you get the next one. After a basket you shoot from a new spot; after a

miss you try again from the same spot.

1. When the clock reaches zero the buzzer sounds. A ball that is still in the air at the buzzer

still counts.

Scoring

• A basket is worth 2 points. A swish — through the hoop without touching the rim or the

backboard — is worth 3.

• Baskets in a row build a streak. From the 3rd basket in a row every basket is worth ×2, from the

6th in a row ×3. A miss resets the streak.

• On Hard every basket is worth ×1.5, rounded up.

Basket, Streak 1–2, Streak 3–5, Streak 6+

Normal, basket, 2, 4, 6

Normal, swish, 3, 6, 9

Hard, basket, 3, 6, 9

Hard, swish, 5, 9, 14

Your score is the total at the buzzer. Normal and Hard have separate leaderboards; higher is better. The result screen also shows your baskets, swishes, accuracy and best streak.

Tips

A higher arc drops into the hoop more steeply and forgives small mistakes. When the hoop is moving, throw a little ahead of it — the ball takes about a second to get there.
