Midnight Hoops

The court is peaceful after dark. Just you, a ball, and a whole lot of crickets. You put in the hours every evening. While your friends are out partying, you're on the grind. But tonight... you don't feel quite so alone.

About the Game

WARNING: Prepare for a challenge. The core gameplay in Midnight Hoops is shooting hoops, and it is realistically DIFFICULT, but rewarding to master.

ALSO NOTE: This is a SHORT game (~1 hour story). It is a linear, narrative and atmosphere-driven game, although there are practice and challenge modes for pure hoop-shooting gameplay.

The court is peaceful after dark. No one around to disrupt your focus. Just you, a ball, and a whole lot of crickets.

You're a high schooler with terrible grades. You're banking your college admissions on a basketball scholarship, so you put in the hours every evening. While your friends are out partying, you're on the grind. But tonight... you don't feel quite so alone.
