Hoop Stars for Android

Looking for a quick, satisfying arcade game? This Hoop Stars APK download for Android gives you version 1.7.26 as a free XAPK file. Made by Belarusian studio SayGames together with HighCore, the game has passed 10 million downloads and can be played without an internet connection.

How Hoop Stars Plays

Like other SayGames hits such as Jelly Shift, House Paint, Perfect Slices and Sand Balls, Hoop Stars takes a simple idea and polishes it well. You control a plastic-like ring, and each stage places a ball somewhere on the screen. Your job is to lift and steer the ring so the ball passes through it.

Two on-screen buttons do the work: one makes the ring jump to the right, the other to the left. Each tap pops the ring up a little in that direction, but it keeps spinning a full 360 degrees, so timing your taps to line it up is the real challenge.

The physics feel natural. When the ring bumps a wall, another ring or the ball itself, it moves exactly as you would expect, and using those bounces is the key to accurate shots.

Modes and Content

The opening stages act as a tutorial: every time the ball goes through the ring you score a point, and 5 points clears the level. The main part of the game is a head-to-head race against an AI opponent, where the first to reach the target score wins.

In tournament mode, rivals carry the flags of different countries and each match is held in a city somewhere in the world, with ball and ring colours changing from stage to stage. Collect gems to open extra designs and customise your look.

There is also a bonus round where you try to pass as many gems as possible through the ring within a time limit to earn extra points.

Requirements and Installing the XAPK

Hoop Stars needs Android 8.0 or higher, the download is about 187 MB, and it is rated 3+, so it suits all ages.

The file comes as an XAPK, which means you need an XAPK installer app. Download the file, open it with the installer, follow the steps, and you can start playing right away, even offline.
