About Hoops & Fruits
Hoops & Fruits is a drawing puzzle set in a cartoon jungle. Each level shows a piece of fruit, such as a red apple, hanging near the top of the screen and a basketball hoop with a red-and-white net low on the left, next to a wooden door. Drawing is the only tool: every swipe leaves a white line in the scene, the apple drops onto it under gravity, and the line works as a ramp or a wall. A pointing hand on the first level traces a dashed curve up from the hoop to show the idea.
The HUD keeps things tight. A stack of three white bars beside the home button is your line budget, and it loses a bar with every stroke. Next to it sit a row of three apples, a score box and a sound button. The title screen tracks HIGH SCORE and YOUR SCORE under a waving monkey, and the bigger scores come from guiding several fruits through the hoop at once.

How to play Hoops & Fruits
Objective
Draw lines that steer each falling fruit into the basketball hoop, using no more than the three strokes in your bar stack, and score more by hooping several fruits together.
Controls
Mobile
- Tap the green play button: open the first level
- Swipe across the scene: draw a white line the fruit can land and roll on
Getting started
- The title screen shows the HOOPS FRUITS logo, a green play button, a monkey with a basket and your HIGH SCORE and YOUR SCORE lines; press play.
- On a computer the game sits in a tall narrow column at the center of the screen, so aim your presses inside that strip.
- The first level shows an apple at the top, the hoop at the bottom left and a hand tracing a dashed curve that hints at a good path.
- Draw your first line deliberately: the apple falls onto it at once, and the stack of white bars beside the home button drops by one.
- Use the remaining strokes to steer the apple toward the hoop; once the bar stack is empty you cannot add another line.
Tips
- A flat line only catches the apple and leaves it sitting there; slope your stroke down toward the hoop so the fruit rolls instead of stopping.
- Count your strokes before drawing. The white bars beside the home button allow three lines, and a wasted one on a wrong angle cannot be taken back.
- Copy the dashed curve the pointing hand draws on the first level: starting near the hoop and rising toward the fruit gives the apple a smooth path down.
- A vertical line works as a wall, so you can stop the fruit from rolling past the hoop and send it back toward the net.

Hoops & Fruits FAQ
What do the white bars next to the home button mean in Hoops & Fruits?
They are your line budget. A level starts with three bars, and each line you draw removes one. When the stack is empty you cannot draw again, so plan every stroke before you make it.
How do you move the fruit in Hoops & Fruits?
You do not push it directly. You draw white lines with a swipe, and the fruit falls and rolls along them under its own weight. Slope a line toward the hoop and the fruit follows it into the net.
How do you get a big score in Hoops & Fruits?
Get several fruits through the hoop with the same set of lines. The score box at the top counts each level, and the title screen keeps HIGH SCORE and YOUR SCORE so you can see whether a run beat your best.
