Game overview
HOOPS is a rhythmic basketball game where you fling the ball from one hoop to the next without ever letting it drop. Land a clean pass that flies straight in without clanging off the rim and you bank bonus points, while coins you gather along the way go toward customizing your ball. It rewards smooth, confident throws over frantic tapping.
