BreakHoops

Two on two, above the clouds.

Pick your team, the Sky Otters, Ember Foxes, Lilac Owls or Sun Yaks, and play short quarters of half-court two on two. Hold shoot to jump and let go at the top, dunk over anyone in the paint, and fill your super meter for a shot that can't miss or a dunk that shatters the backboard.

BreakHoops on a computer: a player grabs the hot hand power-up and catches fire, with a fresh legs token glowing on the court. — Arrows or WASD to move (flick left-right to cross over) / J to pass or shove / K or Space to shoot or block (hold, let go at the top), or call for a lob near the rim / On-screen stick and two buttons on phones Open full page

How it plays

Pick it up in a minute.

ContactShove and cross overOn defence, pass becomes shove: land it and the ball handler tumbles and coughs it up. With the ball, flick left then right to cross over and leave your defender stumbling.
DunkMonster dunksGet close and shoot to throw it down. Big dunks shake the backboard, flatten anyone standing under the rim, and the biggest ones shatter the glass.
AirAlley-oops and chase-down blocksNear the rim while your mate has the ball, press shoot to call for the lob and slam it. On defence, chase a dunker down from behind and swat it.
FireOn fire, ice coldMake three in a row and you catch fire: the ball burns, the net catches flame and your shots drop. Miss three in a row and you go ice cold until you make one.
SuperSuper shots and super dunksBuckets, blocks, steals and crossovers fill the super meter. When it glows, your next shot is a super shot worth 3 and your next dunk is unstoppable.
LegsStamina and power-upsRunning wears you down and tired players shoot worse. Grab glowing tokens on the court for sky shoes, fresh legs, springs, a hot hand or a boost to your super meter.

Ways to play

Four ways to play.

Four short quarters against the computer at Easy, Normal or Hard. Beat the shot clock, catch fire, and overtime if it's tied.
02
Island Cup
Four teams, one trophy

A round robin against the other three teams with a standings table, then a final between the top two. Win it for ten stars to spend on upgrades: shooting, hops, speed, defence and stamina.
03
3-point contest
Five racks, 60 seconds

Five balls at each of five spots around the arc. The last ball on every rack is the money ball, worth 2. A perfect round is 30.
04
60-second shootout
Free throws and threes

Move around the arc from the free-throw line to both corners. Three in a row and every shot counts double. Share your score when time runs out.

FAQ

Questions

Is BreakHoops free?

Yes. No ads, no account and nothing to buy. Stars for upgrades are earned only by playing.

How do I play?

On a computer, move with the arrow keys or WASD, pass or shove with J, and shoot or block with K or Space: hold to jump and let go at the top. On a phone, use the stick on the left and the two buttons on the right; you can move the buttons to the left in Settings.

How do I shatter the backboard?

Fill your super meter with buckets, blocks and steals. When it glows, drive in and dunk: a super dunk can't be blocked and often breaks the glass. Big dunks while you're on fire can break it too.

How do I make more shots?

Release at the very top of your jump, when the meter beside your player turns gold. Open shots fall more often than contested ones, tired players miss more, and an upgrade to shooting helps every jumper.

Can I play with a friend?

Not yet. BreakHoops is you and a computer teammate against two computer players, plus the solo 3-point contest and shootout.

Where is my progress saved?

On your device: your record at each level, your Island Cup, your stars and upgrades, your best contest and shootout scores and your settings. There is no account and nothing is sent anywhere.

Do I need to download anything?

No. BreakHoops runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. It is also part of the Break Sports app for iPhone, iPad and Android, coming soon.
