Idle Hoops

Idle Hoops is an incremental basketball game that starts with one kid, one hoop and a driveway. You shoot using a timing meter, build a team that scores while you are away, and work your way toward a stadium in space and a goat in a crown.

Shoot and build a streak

Release the shot in the meter’s green zone for a perfect swish worth double. Each consecutive basket raises your streak multiplier, while a miss resets it. You can hold the button to keep shooting, and making ten shots in a row puts you on fire, making every shot worth triple until the streak ends.

Golden balls occasionally appear on the court. Catching one triggers a points frenzy, a lucky windfall, a hot hand or a full ball rain in which every falling ball pays out.

Recruit your team

Sign teammates who score around the clock, each with a long ladder of upgrades. The 14 players range from the neighbour kid and a pickup baller who calls his own fouls to a mascot, a robot calibrated to 100% free throws, an alien raised in low gravity and, eventually, the actual GOAT.

You can also customize your own player in the Locker Room, choosing a number, skin tone, hairstyle, accessories and shoes. The game has seven courts, from the driveway to the Hall of Fame Arena.

Win seasons and earn rings

Win the championship when a season has gone as far as it can. You then start again in the driveway but keep your rings, which make each new season faster. Spend rings on perks such as automatic shooting, keeping more offline earnings or starting a season with a full bench.

Enter the Hall of Fame

When rings are no longer enough, retire your jersey number in the Hall of Fame. It hangs from the rafters of every court for the rest of the game, and you receive Banners that permanently boost everything and fund the Front Office. Its staff can automate parts of your progress:

• Auto-Scout: signs players.
• Assistant Coach: buys upgrades.
• Dynasty Planner: wins titles for you when the timing is right.

After retiring a number, you can pick another and repeat the process at a faster pace.
