Every guide below is written for real inputs, real modes, and the free-to-play 2v2 loop StacWorks shipped on 2026-10-04.

- Getting Started — first-hour checklist, bots vs friends, what to unlock
- Controls — full keyboard and controller maps

What these guides cover
HOOP JAM mixes arcade dunk fantasy with readable sports inputs:
- Movement —WASD or Left Stick; Sprint on Shift / RB
- Scoring —Space Shoot/Dunk; controller shoot on X/□ with jump/block on Y/△.

Guides stay practical. We will not pad pages with fake patch notes. When systems change, check the Updates Hub.
Recommended learning path
Hour 1 Redeem codes —skim controls —play vs bots —attempt basic dunks —open any Ball Bag. Follow Getting Started and How to Redeem Codes.
Hours 2— Move to friends 2v2, practice pass timing, and equip a clearer ball from Gear and Cosmetics. Peek at Dunks and VFX only after you can convert consistently.
Event nights
If All-Star is live, redeem ALLSTAR if you have not, then use All-Star Weekend to pick 3-Point Contest, Dunk Contest, All-Star Game, Wheel, or Arena sessions.
Seasonal
During Halloween, farm candies for the Phantom Pass while still claiming the HALLOWEEN coin code — see Halloween Phantom Pass.
How guides differ from hubs
- Guides teach actions and systems step by step.
- Tier List Hub ranks cosmetics and dunk style choices.
- Players Hub surveys progression and gear.
- Scripts Hub explains why we are not dumping unverified injectors.
- Wiki summarizes the whole project and game facts.
Use guides when you are stuck on “how”; use tier lists when you are stuck on “what to buy.”
Tips that apply across every guide
- Prefer bot lobbies while learning dunk gathers — turnovers teach less when humans spam steal.
- Keep one high-contrast ball equipped so passes stay trackable.
- Do not stack every VFX pack before you understand impact timing.
- Rebind nothing until you can recite the default map on Controls.
- After each major content drop, re-read the relevant guide; dunk windows rarely change, but menus and rewards do.
Visiting stats context
HOOP JAM quickly climbed into multi-million visit territory with strong favorites and roughly a few thousand concurrent players at typical times, plus an ~85% like-rate style reception. That popularity means crowded social spaces — but matches themselves stay 2v2, so fundamentals still decide possessions.
