Physical shooting
Direct and deliberate bank makes must cross the same physical score sensor. The game does not script a basket.
Verified build / no invented traction
Between work and whatever comes next
Mini Break Hoops is where you get a few up. No feed, no fake makes, no cartoon bailout. The ball, glass, rim, net, and original score turn a spare minute into a court worth coming back to.
Verified in current build
Business hypothesis
Owner or platform gate
Current product
Claims below are limited to behavior present in the repository and tested build.
Three sessions
Midnight, Five Alive, and Pressure are selectable before the first completed run, each with distinct counters and rules.
Responsive court
Moving rim, reactive woven net, tempered-glass board, three player spots, and baseline or sideline cameras change the read without changing the opening.
Original score
A deterministic, sample-free 16-bar composition runs at 72 BPM with procedural keys, bass, drums, and bounded tape texture.
Local first
The web edition supports offline reopening. Player records, settings, mastery, and earned cosmetics persist locally.
Cosmetic integrity
Ball and court finishes do not alter physics. Premium previews fail closed unless a verified native entitlement is supplied.
Live side-court build
Category design
Get a few up. Come back different.
The feeling is familiar: life gets loud, so you find a rim. The brand can own that space without selling wellness, borrowing somebody else's voice, or making a medical promise.
Message architecture
Use the first two layers publicly. Keep the third as internal product direction.
Get shots up anywhere
A concise basketball session with physical makes, intentional glass, three modes, and no required account.
Court's open
Warm overhead light, hard equipment, original music, and enough room to find your touch.
Difficulty creates presence
The product earns repeat play by making the green pocket learnable, not automatic, and each clean make legible.
Get a few up.
Audience hypotheses
These groups require testing; they are not current-user claims.
Basketball lifers
Players who miss the ritual of getting shots up but only have a few minutes.
Break-time competitors
People who want a skill loop with a real learning pocket instead of idle rewards.
Headphone players
Players attracted to a calm, premium audiovisual ritual they can return to daily.
Platform map
Ship the proven core before multiplying ports
The current source supports web and contains Capacitor projects for iOS and Android. Other mini-game platforms are valid research lanes, not completed builds, and should be evaluated against input, rendering, audio, and monetization constraints.
Distribution matrix
Status reflects repository evidence, not store-console approval.
| Surface | Status | Current evidence | Next gate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desktop and mobile web | Built | Vite production and installable offline builds. | Public acquisition page, analytics decision, broad device smoke. |
| iOS | Owner gate | Capacitor iOS project and synchronized asset pipeline exist. | Signing, physical-device QA, metadata, age rating, review. |
| Android | Owner gate | Capacitor Android project and synchronized asset pipeline exist. | Keystore, physical-device QA, listing, policy review. |
| TikTok mini games | Research | No port is claimed. | Confirm current program access, WebGL/audio limits, payments, and regional availability. |
| YouTube Playables | Research | No port is claimed. | Confirm publisher access, SDK requirements, session telemetry, and packaging. |
| Roblox | Separate port | No Luau or Roblox build exists. | Prototype the shot model and premium court direction natively in Roblox Studio. |
Port rule
Protect what makes the game recognizable.
Physical score authority
Every port must preserve a downward physical crossing and readable make state.
Learnable release pocket
Input adaptation may change per platform; the skill signal and miss honesty may not.
Private-court identity
Equipment quality, original sound, restrained feedback, and short sessions form the product signature.
Monetization without fiction
Sell identity and depth, not a better rim
There is no verified revenue or conversion history yet. The current product already enforces the right principle: cosmetics do not change physics and premium access fails closed. Everything below is a test, not a forecast.
Model hypotheses
Validate willingness to pay before adding billing complexity.
Free core + court pass
Keep every competitive mode and shot mechanic free. Package distinct court and ball identities as cosmetic ownership.
Premium one-time edition
Test a clean paid download with no ads, no consumables, and complete offline play.
Commissioned environments
Explore branded or creator courts only after the base identity, audience, and rights process are proven.
Guardrails
The business model should intensify ownership, never compromise shot trust.
No pay-to-win
Do not sell wider scoring sensors, favorable rebounds, easier timing, or hidden make assistance.
No fake scarcity
Describe availability and ownership plainly. Do not invent users, sellouts, rankings, endorsements, or traction.
Native entitlement proof
Implement and sandbox-test StoreKit and Google Play purchase restoration before offering Primetime Pass.
Return quality
Prioritize completed sessions, voluntary repeat runs, mode mix, and cosmetic preview interest over raw screen time.
Release control
Code ready. Consoles and devices remain human gates.
The current repository passes its local automated release suite. This checklist intentionally does not mark owner-only console, legal, or physical-device work complete. Your selections persist only in this browser.
Owner checklist
Check an item only after direct evidence exists.
Current engineering evidence
Re-run before tagging any later source revision.
123 unit checks
Physics, scoring, input, audio, lifecycle, modes, cosmetics, persistence, and presentation.
22 gameplay scenarios
Direct and bank makes, misses, modes, cameras, spots, net response, verdict, pause, collection, and offline reopen.
Production build
Type checking, linting, Vite build, and targeted multi-viewport visual regression are green.
Launch language
Make the ritual visible
Show the ball, hand, glass, rim, net, and green pocket. Let equipment reaction and original sound carry the proof. Avoid generic mobile-game language, fake player quotes, and claims that cannot be traced to the build.
Campaign spine
Every asset should make one truthful promise and show its evidence.
Your court is open
Open on the side-court frame, real ball material, board depth, and a held release.
The net tells the truth
Show clean, rim-in, off-glass, and miss outcomes with distinct physical response.
Run it back
Finish on mode selection, the amber Enter Court action, and the original score dropping back into the pocket.
Ready-to-use lines
These describe the current product without implying audience size or awards.
Get a few up.
Mini Break Hoops puts a real basketball read between work and whatever comes next.
Call glass on purpose.
Deliberate left and right bank shots must touch the board and still finish through the physical scoring plane.
The score plays the session.
An original, sample-free 72 BPM composition shifts intensity without changing tempo mid-run.
No account. No fake makes.
Play locally, learn the release pocket, and let the rim, glass, and net report the result.
