Dinsun Review

Five Hoops is another one of those Voodoo-style games that feels more like an algorithm than a piece of entertainment. The 'multiplayer' feels suspiciously like bots—they always seem to be just slightly worse than you until they aren't.

The shooting mechanic is okay, but it’s so simplified that it loses all satisfaction. You just drag a line. No timing, no wind, no real physics to worry about. It’s a very colorful way to waste 45 seconds of your life. After five minutes, you've seen everything the game has to offer. It’s filler.

Five Hoops is a competitive arcade basketball game where you compete against two other players to be the first to score five baskets. With simple drag-and-aim controls, you'll need to adjust your shots as your character moves further away or as the hoop starts to move. Unlock new characters, balls, and celebrations as you climb the ranks.

Features

Quick 3-player multiplayer races

Simple and intuitive controls

Dozens of unlockable characters and skins

Various challenging locations and mechanics

Tips

Adjusting for Distance

As you score, your player moves back. Pay close attention to the trajectory line; the further back you are, the higher you need to aim to ensure the ball doesn't hit the front of the rim.
