About This Game

Face off in Bounce, the physics based 1v1 2D combat sport. Easy to approach, yet difficult to master, we invite players of all skill levels to dive into the analog world of the Bounce Arena. Play locally with competitive couch co-op, or across the globe with online matchmaking.

The goal is simple, bounce the ball into your opponents net. Play aggressively by punching your way through the arena, with directional attacks, or play defensively by guarding your net and keeping your opponent at bay with timely parries. Three basic inputs; Move, Jump, and Attack keep gameplay simple for anyone, but skilled players fret not, each input has more depth than meets the eye.

STANDARD

Prove your skill and precision in Standard Mode, where strategy is your only defence against your opponent. Jump, dash, and punch your way to victory! The tug of war style scoring method will have opponents battling it out for short rounds, or, if evenly matched, will last until the end of time!

BRICK

Dig through a wall of bricks in the time based Brick Mode. Once your defences are down, only you stand between your opponent and a goal. But don't worry, a fresh wall of bricks will appear should you let that ball through.

PARTY

Perfect for throwing on in the background of a social gathering, Party Mode has a wide range of mini game style matches to keep you and your opponent guessing. From anti-gravity, multi ball, and even flooded arenas, Party Mode will quickly become your friends favourite mode to pick up and play. Quick matches encourage onlooker participation and controller passing!

CRT EMULATION

Built on the analog visual style of cathode ray tube technology and brutalist propaganda print media, Bounce aims to emulate retro gaming in a way you never thought possible. By carefully studying the characteristics of analog video and computer equipment, Digital Joy, has created an accurate and beautiful CRT shader. If you're a fellow CRT enthusiast, and have a tube at the ready, Bounce will also ship with a CRT mode, which is reformatted for use on CRT Televisions and Monitors.
