How to play – step by step
- Flick to shoot – Put your finger on the ball and flick it up toward the hoop. The direction of the flick is the line; its length is the power.
- 2 or 3 points – A basket is 2 points. A clean swish that touches nothing is 3.
- Five spots – Players take turns. Each round everyone shoots from the same spot on the arc; the spot moves each round, five in all, and farther spots need more power. Most points after the fifth spot wins.
History & origins
James Naismith devised basketball in Massachusetts in 1891 as an indoor team sport, initially using peach baskets as goals.
The sport developed into a global game, and shooting challenges became a familiar part of playground and arcade play.
Jawna’s Hoops focuses on that shooting tradition through short touch-controlled attempts. It is a compact adaptation, rather than a simulation of a full basketball match.
