Drag the ball back, aim, and let it fly. Pocket Hoops is one-finger basketball built around a single, honest idea: the same flick always makes the same shot, so every miss is on you — and every swish feels earned. No timers on your patience, no forced tutorials, no waiting. Grab the ball and shoot. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • TIMED — 60 seconds on the clock. Every basket buys you more; every miss burns it down. Stay hot to stay alive. • ENDLESS — no clock, no mercy. Three misses and the run is over. How long can you keep it clean? MASTER THE ARC • Swish it clean for bonus points, and chain swishes together for a combo that keeps climbing. • Bank it off the backboard, or play the angles — the side walls are live, so a wall-shot into the net is always on the table. • Read the rim. The dotted guide shows exactly where your shot is going, bounces included — the rest is up to your thumb. CATCH FIRE • Sink five in a row and the ball ignites: double points until you cool off. • Every few shots the ball turns gold — the money ball, worth triple. • Grab the floating point tokens on the way to the rim. The higher they hang, the more they pay — but the tougher the arc. CLIMB THE LADDER • Five tiers of difficulty, from Warm Up to Legend. Rims shrink, he wind picks up as you go. • Complete missions run after run, each one nudging you toward the next. • Unlock nine hand-crafted ball skins — from Street to Inferno to lestones, not by paying. BUILT RIGHT • No ads. No in-app purchases. No account required. • Plays fully offline — nothing to download, nothing tracked. and the ball ignites: double points until you cool off. • Every few shots the ball turns gold — the money ball, worth triple. • Grab the floating point tokens on the way to the rim.

Rims shrink, hoops start moving, and the wind picks up as you go. • Complete missions run after run, each one nudging you toward the next. • Unlock nine hand-crafted ball skins — from Street to Inferno to Void — by hitting real milestones, not by paying.
