# Wobble Hoops

> Flick the ball into the moving hoop.

You are the shooter in a bright little gym, with sixty seconds on the clock. Pull back and let go to send the ball arcing at the hoop: it clangs off the rim, banks off the backboard and swishes through the net. Every basket slides the hoop to a new spot, and once you get going it starts to bob and glide. Sink three in a row and your ball catches fire for double points.

## How to play

1. Pull back anywhere on the court and let go to throw, like a slingshot, or flick toward the hoop. The longer the pull, the harder the throw. The dotted line and the power bar show your aim. On a keyboard, aim with the arrow keys, hold Space to charge, and let go to throw. Every way reaches the same top power with the same aim steps.
2. A basket scores 2 points. Miss the rim completely for a bonus point: a swish or a bank shot scores 3.
3. Make three baskets in a row to set the ball on fire. Baskets score double until you miss.
4. You have 60 seconds. After every basket the hoop slides somewhere new, and later it starts to move. A ball in the air when the buzzer goes still counts.

## Tips

- Go for swishes and bank shots: they score 3 instead of 2.
- Three baskets in a row sets the ball on fire, and baskets score double until you miss. Protect a streak with safer shots.
- Watch the dotted line and the power bar, and learn the pull length for each spot on the court.
- Shoot right before the buzzer: a ball in the air still counts.
