I like the interpretation of the game! The gameplay loop is quite simple but it is fun to try to be good at the game. I only survived for 143 seconds, so I'm not that good at it! I also like that each hoop has their own timer before they disappear, I think it'd be better if the hoops themselves show a timer to indicate how long before they disappear, that way the player can strategize and choose which hoop to prioritize better!
I think the controls are uninitutive though. Since I'm already holding S for the shooting power, to make a jump shot I need unnaturally move my hand to press W then let go of S. It might be my habit of playing WASD but I'm not built to do that movement quickly and time it well. I think putting the jump on space will make the jump shot feel a lot more natural and better to actually do! At least a rebindable option could be nice, though I understand time constraints in a jam.

Hi, thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the game :)
I guess you are right, there should be more options for the jump and shoot buttons. I only thought about the way of controlling the player that felt natural to me, but I understand some people prefer a different control style. I'll definitely add more input options after the jam
