Bounce (2018)

'Bounce' is a puzzle game in which you must apply your knowledge of geometry to ricochet a ball and remove all the pieces on each level. It features a save system, musical notes for each level, 50 puzzles, and 100 Steam achievements. The game took me about 20 minutes to complete, including unlocking all achievements, and it offers a single ending with a convenient save feature after each level. The simple gameplay makes it accessible to players of all skill levels, with clear instructions and a straightforward objective: solve all the puzzles. Considering the overall challenge, as well as the ability to retry levels as many times as needed and reset them at any point, I would rate the difficulty a 3 out of 10. 'Bounce' is built around ricochet mechanics and basic geometry. The objective is to remove all the shapes on each level using a single shot, requiring careful planning of both the launch position and angle. The gameplay is straightforward and easy to understand, although some levels may require a fair amount of trial and error to solve. The minimalist presentation keeps the focus on the puzzles, though players looking for a deeper story or more varied mechanics may find the e…

Bounce, developed by Mikhail Melnikov and published by SA Industry, is a minimalist physics-based puzzle game that distills its entire experience down to a single, deceptively simple idea: clear every target on the screen using one perfectly planned shot. At first glance, the game appears almost barebones, but this restraint is very much intentional. Bounce positions itself as a pure test of spatial reasoning, angle calculation, and patience, stripping away narrative, progression systems, and mechanical clutter to focus entirely on the satisfaction of solving geometric problems through precision and foresight. Each level presents a clean, open space populated by white shapes that must be destroyed by a single projectile. The player chooses a starting position and launch angle, then watches as the shot ricochets off surfaces and targets, ideally chaining together enough collisions to clear the entire board. There are no retries mid-shot and no corrective actions once the projectile is launched, which places all the emphasis on pre-planning rather than reflexes. Success often comes from studying the layout carefully, visualizing the path of the bounce, and anticipating how each coll…

Very happy with the game, since I didn’t expect that a puzzle game that makes your brain smoke (because you really have to think about where to start in some levels) would relax me with its musical notes while also giving me that satisfying feeling when completing each level.

is a cute little moblie game but 5€ is just too much
