About the Game

Mike The Hooper is a puzzle-platformer where basketball meets precision-based puzzle solving.

All of Mike's abilities are available from the very beginning. Discover what they can do through carefully designed levels, then apply your understanding to overcome the challenges that follow.

The world is built around color. While blue is your constant, each color has its own unique behavior. Interact with them, discover what they do, and use your understanding to find your way forward.

Features:

  • A focused experience that can be completed in about 2–3 hours

  • Shoot hoops to open doors and complete levels

  • Use angles, timing, and the environment to find the right shot

  • Navigate platforming challenges along the way

  • Simple pixel-art visuals focused on clear gameplay

  • No in-game text, so there is no language barrier
