About Hoops
On an outdoor court, Oomi holds the ball and the hoop hangs in a new spot for every throw. Your child pulls back to aim along a dotted arc, or stops a swinging power meter on its green part. The ball can bounce off the backboard and rim before it drops in.
How to play
- Pull back anywhere on the court, aim along the dots and let go.
- Tap the ball button or the court while the moving marker is on green.
- On a computer, aim with the arrow keys and throw with Space.
What your child practices
- Throwing with the right power
- Timing a button press
- How a thrown ball curves
- Counting baskets
