Our take on Hoops VR
The defining mechanic is free-throw shooting at hoops that can change position during play, with Normal mode using real-world basketball and hoop dimensions.
What is Hoops VR?
Hoops VR is a basketball free-throw game for HTC Vive.
Players use motion controls to shoot at basketball hoops, including dynamic hoops that change location during play. Normal mode uses real-world basketball and hoop dimensions, while the game’s other difficulty mode uses wider hoops placed closer to the player. Additional modes include Paper-Airplane Mode and Garbage Mode. Players can compete locally against friends or compare results on global online leaderboards. The game includes several modes covering different difficulty levels and is also available for arcades through SpringboardVR.
