Hoop World
Hoop World
Basketball is one of the most popular and exciting sports based on how fast the players move, how fast the game keeps going, and the amazing tricks some players can pull off like in Hoop World. You are a huge basketball fan and not a bad player yourself, but you've developed your philosophy: The dunk is all that matters. You've spent time, energy, and most likely resources to train yourself to do aerial acrobatics leading to the perfect dunk. It's a dangerous path you're following, but with every dunk you make, the more you solidify your status as a true dunk master. You may not be a professional basketball player, but you are a professional.
About Hoop World
The truth about basketball is that the tricks we hope to see in the air are not as common as we'd like them to be but they're always a spectacle. Even though this game is all about that spectacle over and over again, it's fun to be a part of it. What's more is that it simplifies an act that would otherwise be very difficult to pull off with complex controls, much less real life. In doing so, it becomes more enjoyable to see just how far you can push the player. Even if you drop the ball, it's easy to pick it back up again and get back to flipping out.
How to Play
Hoop World is a 3D basketball arcade game where you're trying to perform the best flipping dunks using only the mouse. To start the dunk, click the Left Mouse Button and the player will jump. While in the air, you can click and hold the Left Mouse Button to perform flips. Letting go of the button will stop the flips, and doing so while the player and ball are facing forward, you'll be in a dunk position. The goal is to dunk the ball in the basket of each level so that you can progress. If you miss the dunk or mess up a flip, you'll need to start again.
While in the lobby, you can spend any coins you've earned in the store. These can be used to unlock different players, different balls, and different aerial maneuvers. Once you start playing, the player will start at their jumping point. From there, you can initiate the dunk whenever you want. While in the air, you can perform flips, and the more you do, the better your score and the more easily you can unlock future levels. Levels will also start to introduce elements like trampolines to bounce on and wormholes to jump through. If you ever land on your head on a trampoline or aren't in a dunk position when near the basket, the player will fail and you'll have to retry.
Tips and Tricks
Trampolines are where you most have to watch your timing and positioning. You can bounce off them while flipping, but any head contact will knock out the player. Use the number of flips tracked at the top to gain a sense of what's possible and when the basket will come into range.
