Hoop KIngs
By Samiul Islam
Hoop KIngs turns a basketball shot into a grid puzzle. Each level gives you a small board of squares dotted with wooden crates, one or more basketballs and a hoop, and you swipe the balls in straight lines until they land in the basket. Clear the layout and the level is marked complete, then the next one loads. It runs free in your browser on desktop and mobile, no download.

How to Play Hoop KIngs
Every level is a compact grid — roughly three squares wide and four tall in the frames — holding a hoop, at least one basketball and a scattering of crates. Swiping sends a ball travelling in that direction until something stops it, so crates and walls act as blockers you have to use rather than avoid.
The goal is to get each ball into the hoop. Later boards add a second ball and more crates, so the order of your swipes matters: one ball may need to be parked against a crate before the other has a clear run at the basket. When everything is sunk, a green tick and a COMPLETE banner appear and you tap to continue to the next level, with the level number shown at the top of the screen.
An undo button sits beside the menu at the top if a swipe leaves the board in a dead position.
Tips
- Read the crates first — they are the only thing that stops a ball mid-grid, so plan which one you want the ball to rest against.
- With two balls on the board, work out which one has the cleanest line to the hoop and move the other out of its path first.
- Use the undo button at the top of the screen instead of restarting when a single swipe spoils the layout.
- Note where the hoop sits — a ball can only enter it from a direction that has an unobstructed run.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Hoop KIngs free to play?
Yes, it is completely free and runs in your web browser with no download or install.
Can I play Hoop KIngs on my phone?
Yes, it works on mobile as well as desktop. On a touch screen you swipe in the direction you want the ball to travel; the game is designed for landscape view.
Who made Hoop KIngs?
It was developed by Samiul Islam and released in 2024, built with Construct 3.
What do the wooden crates do?
Crates block a rolling basketball, stopping it on the square in front of them. You use them to control where a ball comes to rest so it can line up with the hoop.
Can I undo a bad move?
Yes, there is an undo button at the top of the screen next to the menu, so a wrong swipe does not force you to replay the level from scratch.
