Description
Instructions: Use your mouse to play this game.
Basketball Hoops is all about the shot. You pick from three difficulty levels and locations, then try to drop the ball through the hoop again and again. The twist is the wind, which grows stronger the longer you keep going, so a throw that worked a minute ago may drift wide now.
It lives in our Basketball category and suits a desktop, a phone or a tablet equally. One more attempt always feels possible, and that pull is what keeps people shooting.
Shooting hoops
Throw with the mouse, or flick the ball with a finger when playing on a handheld. Judge the distance and the power of each shot. As your streak grows, the wind picks up and pushes the ball off course, so you have to aim against it. Keep scoring and see how long you can keep it going.
Beating the wind
- Start on the easiest level to learn the basic throw before the wind becomes strong.
- Watch how far the ball drifts on a miss, then aim that far the other way.
- Stay calm when the wind gets heavy, rushed throws miss more often.
