Hoop Arc

A 12-match street basketball career at sunset. Every match gives you 8 to 14 shots, and your total needs to reach one of the star goals. There’s also a Daily match that changes every day.

Step by step

1. Press the screen, pull the ball back and release, or flick it upward: the direction of your drag sets the angle and its length sets the power. A short preview shows the ball’s path.
2. On the keyboard, the left/right arrows set the angle, the up/down arrows set the power, and Space shoots.
3. In the 1st match you always shoot from the same spot; in later matches you move to the next spot with every shot. A shot from behind the 3-point line scores 3, from in front of it scores 2.
4. Each ball has a shot clock; let it run out and that ball goes to waste. This clock gets shorter in later matches.

Tips

• A clean shot that doesn’t touch the rim or backboard earns a 1-point bonus. Make 3 clean shots in a row to turn on fire mode: your next 3 makes count double, and a miss turns fire mode off.
• The hoop starts drifting in the 4th match, and the wind starts blowing in the 7th; adjust your aim for both.
