An empty court, a beautiful view and an infinite number of basketballs. Is this heaven or First Person Hooper? Shoot baskets with flair and finesse to rack up high scores or just chill out and chuck shots for fun.

What we love: Getting buckets! A handy lock-on feature keeps you pointed at the net no matter where you move – or you can go fully manual to arc in sweet banks and fantastic floaters. (It’s a little trickier, but super-satisfying once you get the hang of it.) Want a more arcade-y experience? Hook up a gamepad and try to top the online leaderboards.

Quick tip: When you hear the sound of running water, it means a splash zone has appeared on the court. Look for the blue whirlpool – score from inside it for a huge points boost!

Meet the creator: First Person Hooper is the debut game from indie developer/publisher Starch Digital.
