Hoop Climber

Before discovering hoop climber, I was in a deep depression. I was on the verge of ending it all, I had no purpose in life. My wife left me for my brother, my parents disowned me because I was unemployed and broke at 35 years old and going freshman hunting at my local high school, my favorite past time activity (Just to see if I still had it in me). Even my dog left me. But then I discovered hoop climber. When I first tapped that screen a sense of life I hadn’t felt since I last went freshman hunting pulsated through me. I finally found a purpose in life, and that purpose is to hoop climb. Now I am a full time hoop climber, working 25/8 grinding hoop climber. If not for hoop climber, I likely would not be here right now. I still have not showered or brushed my teeth since 02’, but it’s alright because I have hoop climber. Live, laugh, hoop climb.

I was homeless, strung out on meth, and ready to give up. My days were a blur of pain and desperation, with no light in sight. Then I found this basketball tap game—just a random app on a phone someone tossed away. It was simple: guide the ball through rings. But in those moments, it gave me something to focus on besides the cravings and the chaos. It didn’t fix everything, but it distracted me long enough to start wanting more than the life I was living. This game was my first step back from the edge. For that, I’ll always be grateful.
