About Bounce 2

Released for the Atari 2600 in 1983, Bounce attempted to dethrone the ball based gameplay king PONG, but due to releasing during the Video Game Crash, the game saw so few copies made, it never got the chance to properly combat its nemesis. Now we finish the fight together, with Bounce 2.The Bounce 2 Physics systems all work perfectly in sync together to create the ultimate playground, both locally and online. Simply jump into the ball for a simple and intuitive strategy, or go for a more precise approach using the right thumbstick. This marriage of physics and open ended player control just feels great to play.Play with up to 4 Players locally, in all game modes. Will you prioritize Defence, Offence, or Player Elimination? Find your team, perfect your strategy, and take down your opponents!

Bounce 2 uses Photon Quantum, a bleeding edge deterministic networking solution that delivers frame perfect gameplay across all player clients. Every Jump, Kick, Dash, and Goal is perfectly synchronized, whether your playing a friend down the hall, or halfway around the world.

Designed to test each players skill level, this mode is the true proving ground. In Classic Mode, there is no numerical score. Instead, with each goal, the slider at the top of the screen in pushed toward the opposing side. This Tug of War style scoring means the more evenly the matched opponents, the longer the match.

Inspired by Brick Breaker, Brick Mode has each player breaking through a wall of bricks in order to score a goal. If the ball goes past your wall, your opponent scores, but your wall will be regenerated. Each round lasts 2 and half minutes, so works well if you want a quick competitive round.

Inspired by mini-game centred titles like Mario Party and Wario Ware, Party Mode is a mixed bag of 9 different modified rounds, randomly selected after each goal. Race your opponent down corridors in RUN, swim and dive in WATER mode, prove your skill in MULTI-BALL, or create your own custom mixture of your favourite modifiers in a custom playlist.Inspired by the graphics and limitations of Bounce (1983), and perfected by years of experience with analog monitors and television, Bounce 2 features a CRT TV shader like you've never seen.

Bounce 2 was designed with Analog equipment in mind. Nothing is more frustrating than buying an HDMI to Analog adapter online just to have your game cut off, squished, and fundamentally unplayable! By including a CRT Calibration setting, Bounce 2 allows users to fine tune their signal in game. Shift the position and scale of the signal until the Bounce arena lines up perfectly with your unique CRT. Its a simple addition, but makes a huge difference.

This ones for you sports fans. Choose from over 200 countries and compete in the Bounce World Games. See the bounce arena transformed in this game mode, with a flood of flags, fans, and patriotic colours. All of your wins will be tracked in the World Games Leaderboard, so stack up those wins to keep your country on top!

Christened this bad boi on my good ol’ 13" Emerson VHS CRT TV. Needless to say, my heart rate elevates every time I play, and my competitive demons awaken whenever I hear those *drops falling into water*... **BOUNCE.** Brother-man, men, people – the graphics and sound design are absolutely mint. 10/10 art style with an unmatched attention to detail. Fantastic job bringing this one to life. I’m sure the process was (and continues to be) incredibly rewarding. Gameplay There is no better feeling than absolutely smacking the ball into your opponent’s goal at Mach 10. It’s equally satisfying beating them to the punch the following round, except this time bouncing it off the wall and watching them watch it bank its way into another gooooooalll. More Feedback The addition of the World Games is FANTASTIC. (Currently playing for Palestine – 1v1 me.) The voice acting for this event is superb, and some of the lines have genuinely become vocal stims at this point. Questions What are the leaderboards based on? Is it MMR? I rarely play Party, but somehow I’m ranked among the top players on the leaderboard for that mode. Just curious! The final two achievements I have left to unlock are Hea…

This game is proof that simplicity doesn't mean a game can't be complex. Finely tuned hitboxes and a claustrophobic arena force quick, precise movements, making for short but exciting matches. It's not great on Steam Deck, but I can't be mad about that—the developers never claimed it would be. That said, it would be awesome if Steam Deck support improved in the future. I can only hope the developers continue to polish the game and grow its player base. There's something special here, and I'd love to see it succeed.

Great game! Simple but also complex, fully recommend!
Not recommended Jul 4, 2026
Gonna have to give this game a thumbs down despite it having potential. Used to work just fine on Steam Deck on the demo and really liked the gameplay. It no longer launches even after some tinkering and was flagged as not supported. A shame, since I'm always on the lookout for new couch games to play with my loved ones and Bounce 2 was pretty much that.

Visual flare is the truth, audio is a full vibe. Me and my 7 yr old love it.
