How to play VECTAHOOPS

Swipe up to shoot, sink the target before the buzzer, catch fire and beat stage after stage.

Goal: Swipe up from the ball to shoot: the ball flies where you swipe. Each stage gives you 30 seconds to sink its target. Three baskets in a row put you ON FIRE (x2) and eight make an INFERNO (x3); a miss puts the fire out. A swish adds a point, the gold ball in every rack pays double and the last 8 seconds are DOUBLE TIME. Sink a neon ball for its power. Every stage brings a new twist: a sliding hoop, long shots, a guard drone, a circling hoop, a rising hoop. Today's Rack gives everyone the same racks.
