WHAT IS TINYHOOPERS?
TinyHoopers was born on Instagram, where it started as a daily pixel-art post of famous basketball players. The account grew even more to becoming a daily unique animated pixel-art design for game stats news. That is when the development of the prototype started.
THE VISION FOR THE GAME
Our goal is to create an engaging sandbox-style basketball game that replicates the experience of playing pickup basketball while capturing the casual social atmosphere. With that, we aim to build a digital community of basketball enthusiasts around a simple but fun game.
COMMUNITY
The heart of TinyHoopers lies in its community. What started as an Instagram account showcasing pixel-art basketball players has grown into a thriving community of +30K fans and gamers. Join our new Discord community, to stay up to date on the game development.
