## What is Pixel Hoops?

Run the offense. Read the defense. Build a dynasty.

Pixel Hoops is a pocket basketball game with a retro arcade look. Every possession is a designed play: your players run their routes and attack the rim on their own. Your job is to read what the defense gives you and make the right call.

READ THE DEFENSE
Every trip down the floor you face a different look. A packed paint leaves your shooters open. A ball trap means someone is free. Defenders denying the pass leave the lane wide open. Find the open man and the game gets easy.

SIMPLE CONTROLS, REAL DECISIONS
• Tap a teammate to pass
• Hold and release in the green to shoot
• Swipe up or down to juke your defender
• Quick tap to pump fake
Hit cutters for alley-oops, break ankles with a crossover, and finish through contact for the and-one.

CALL YOUR DEFENSE
Every opponent has a style: shooters, bigs or guards. Pick man, zone or trap before the game and at every quarter break. Get the matchup right and you can beat teams better than yours.

RUN THE FRANCHISE
• Spend coaching credits to upgrade your players
• Sign free agents and draft rookies
• Build up your training center, arena and coaching staff
• Handle the front office: owner meetings, sponsor deals and scouting quizzes
• Face the press after big wins and tough losses

BUILD A COACHING CAREER
Win games to raise your coach rating. Go deep in the playoffs and other teams will come calling with job offers. Take over a new city or stay and build a dynasty.

• 14-game seasons with playoffs
• Players age, improve and retire
• Play offline, no account needed
• No ads, no tracking
