With the NBA Finals about set to start up once more, there’s time for basketball games. And how about a basketball game to take us back to the halcyon days of 2014, before the NBA Finals became a wasteland of Warriors-Cavaliers matchups. That’s what Noodlecake is promising with Bouncy Hoops (Free), developed by Studio Generative. You tap to launch the ball in the air, tapping again and again to ‘flap’ it up higher and higher, trying to land in the hoop.
It’s admittedly a simple concept, but it works out pretty well. You get points for clean shots, bank shots, and sinking shots from high up. The hoop switches sides after every made basket, and the main mode gives you a timer that counts down, with buzzer beaters possible. And of course, there’s a variety of balls and arenas to play in. It’s a simple high score chaser with good production values, but it’s still pretty solid. There’s a forum thread for Bouncy Hoops, which is out now.
This game is really really great; it has everything gof 3 lacked IMO. There will be more content for sure, replaying missions as well, so I doubt will leave my iPad any time soon.
I snatched this up right at the launch announcement and have been having a blast! Agree wth all points on your review and cross my fingers for expanded campaign content or even better, a space dogfighting online PvP mode would make this indispensable.
Will get this as soon as it arrives on the play store!
