Shoot hoops over your work.

Hooperly is a tiny pixel-art basketball game that lives on top of your desktop. Pull the ball back, let go, and sink it, then get back to what you were doing.

Download for Mac Download for Windows Play in your browser

The browser version plays inside the page. The desktop app lets the game live over your whole desktop, on top of your other programs.

Free to play. Three themes included, more when you want them.

Hooperly is in beta. It is new, and online multiplayer is brand new, so expect rough edges and the odd bug. Tell us what you find at hooperly.game@gmail.com.
