Hasbro and Paper Toss developer Backflip Studios score with Nerf Hoops
It’s Nerf or nothin’.
Hasbro and Backflip Studios have released Nerf Hoops, a new iOS game featuring the former’s Nerf basketballs and the latter’s Paper Toss flick-to-shoot gameplay.
In Nerf Hoops, you have to swipe your iOS device to toss the ball toward the hoop. The hoop may be in a classic basketball court, over city streets, or even amid a zombie apocalypse, with cars, zombies, and other sources of distraction.
As in Paper Toss, you also have to take into account the direction and intensity of winds and adjust your flick angle accordingly to score baskets.
Adding a social layer to the proceedings, Nerf Hoops also lets you challenge your friends in head-to-head matches and compete with other players around the world in the online leaderboards.
Check out the trailer for Nerf Hoops:

Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, Nerf Hoops is available now on the App Store for free.
As reported last weekend, Backflip has partnered with Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast on a new mobile game based on the the hugely popular fantasy tabletop RPG Dungeons & Dragons. The game is said to be a castle defense game inspired in part by Backflip’s “Evil Dead” tie-in game, Army of Darkness Defense.
