How to play
Drag and release on the ball to shoot; the drag direction sets aim, drag length sets power. Each game is sixty seconds of shooting from successive court positions. Make baskets to score; bonus baskets (multi-net swishes) score double.

Editor review
Basketball Hoops is a clean, focused arcade basketball game. There is no character progression, no roster management, no career mode — just shooting, scoring, and the satisfaction of finding the right release point for each shot distance.
The physics are the game's foundation and they are tuned well. The ball follows a predictable arc once released; the rim has slight forgiveness on near-miss shots (a ball that hits the front rim sometimes bounces in, sometimes out); the backboard adds a tactical option for bank shots when the angle suits. After a few minutes of play you develop intuitions about power-to-distance ratios that translate consistently across positions.
The 60-second time-attack mode is the core loop. You start with shots from the free-throw line and progress backward through 15 positions ending at deep three-point range. Each successive position scores higher per basket but is harder to hit. Optimising your strategy — quick baskets from close range versus long-range high-value shots — produces meaningful score differences between runs.
The bonus multiplier for swish baskets (no rim contact) is a nice touch that encourages clean shooting rather than just any-net-counts banking. The mobile experience is excellent; the drag-and-release input feels natural on touch screens. Recommended for short-session play.
