Ghosts Stole My Puppy Hoop and Pop Ray Quest

Hoop and Pop is a point and click game released on June 10, 2010. Players, using their mouse, circle similar groups of objects in order to "pop" them. The goal is to "pop" the required number of objects before time runs out.

Controls[]

  • PC Mouse Left Click Click mouse - Drag cursor to circle objects

Modes[]

Hoop and Pop has two modes, both playable at the start of a new game. The player's goal is to group objects with the requirements laid out at the start of the stage by circling them while working against a timer. Circling two or more objects with the same characteristics causes the objects to "pop" and disappear from the level. Grouping more of the same objects together scores the player more points per object. If the player circles objects that have differing characteristics from the level's conditions, they will lose a heart. The game is over when the player loses all hearts or the timer hits 0. There is no penalty for allowing objects to leave the screen.

Tournament[]

Tournament Mode is divided into three cups: Air, Animal and Sport. Each cup has six levels and features objects that fit the theme of its category. The player can enter any of the three cups when first playing the game, but must complete all the levels within the cup sequentially in order to win the trophy.

At the start of each level, a popup appears, telling the player how many objects they need to pop and what attributes they have to group the objects by. Each group of properly circled objects contributes towards a counter in the bottom HUD. The player must pop the total number of required objects in order to beat the level.
