Play Bounce Hoops online
Bounce Hoops is a drag-and-flick basketball arcade: pull back on the ball, let it fly, and swish it through the hoop.
The ball is fully physical — it bounces off the floor, the walls, the glass backboard, and even the rim posts. Bank shots are legal.
Hoops move to a new spot after every make and start swaying side to side; every fifth hoop is a fast golden one worth triple.
Score 1,500 points in 90 seconds to win. Chain makes without a miss to stack a streak bonus up to +250 per basket.
How to control Bounce Hoops
- Drag: mouse or touch — pull back from the ball to aim, release to shoot
- R: restart the run
- M: mute sound
- Space: start the game
How to play
- 1
Pull back from the ball (mouse or finger) to aim, then release to launch it. Longer pull means a harder shot.
- 2
The ball bounces off the floor, walls, the glass backboard, and the rim posts — use the physics, don't fight it.
- 3
Swish the ball through the rim from above to score. A clean make with no rim contact earns a 50-point swish bonus.
- 4
After every make the hoop moves, starts swaying, and every fifth one turns golden for 300 points.
- 5
Win by reaching 1,500 points before the 90-second clock runs out. Misses reset your streak bonus.
Tips for a better run
Watch one full sway cycle before you release — a hoop crossing the middle is the biggest target.
Bank it off the glass: aiming slightly past the far side of the rim turns the backboard into a helper.
A swish (no rim contact) adds 50 clean points, so flat arc beats wild lob when the hoop is close.
Golden hoops move fast, but 300 points is a fifth of your target — always take the shot.
Missing resets your streak, so take one breath on long shots instead of rushing the next flick.
Frequently asked questions
Is Bounce Hoops related to Blumgi Bounce or other bounce-basketball games?
Only the genre is shared — bounce-and-swish trick-shot games are a classic arcade format. Bounce Hoops is an original implementation: its name, the Gulpball mascot, the moving golden hoop, the drag-to-flick rules, and all canvas artwork were built for this game.
Can I play Bounce Hoops on my phone?
Yes. Drag with your mouse or finger to aim; the layout adapts to small screens.
When does a run end?
A run ends when the 90-second clock hits zero: score 1,500 or more to win, less than that to lose. Your score, makes, and best run are shown on the end screen.
What's the golden hoop?
Every 5th hoop glows gold and sways faster — worth 300 points plus streak bonus. Line up the shot while it swings through the middle of its arc.
