Well it's Thursday, so that means it's time to pick one game that's come out this week that's really piqued my attention. It's a regular sort of thing I like to do around these parts, and it's called the Thursday Find.
This week's discovery twangs at my nostalgic heart strings. Mainly because it involves basketballs setting on fire and one of my best gaming memories involves day-long sessions of NBA JAM.
As usual you can click on the emboldened name of the game below to download it. But what is this hallowed remembery game that I'm talking about? Why it's...
It might not have the scope of NBA Jam, but there's something compulsive about Bouncy Hoops all the same. It's a one-touch hoop shooter that sees you trying to score as many points as you can.
The ball moves towards the hoop automatically, and you need to tap the screen to give it some air. And that's about it. You can grab combos as well from scoring clean shots, bouncing in off the backboard, or beating the buzzer.
There are two modes here. Arcade gives you a few seconds between your shots, and if you don't score in that time it's game over. Time gives you a minute to score as many points as you can, with combo shots giving you extra seconds.
The game looks lovely too. It's all thick pixels and slick ideas, and there's something inherently cool about the whole thing that you can't help but enjoy.
Plus it's free, which is a pretty damn good price. There are ads to watch and what not, but they don't detract too much from all of the baskets you're scoring.
This is a simple, engaging basketball game that's really worth checking out. It doesn't have much beyond its core idea, but it'll keep you entertained in short bursts.
