Bounce Up

How to Play

Steering keeps the ball alive; timing makes it climb.

  1. Press Space, Enter or the Start Game button.
  2. Steer with ArrowLeft/A and ArrowRight/D or the arrow buttons so the ball comes down on a trampoline.
  3. Press Space, ArrowUp or W, the jump button, or tap the game area just as the ball touches the pad. The pad glows as the falling ball gets close.
  4. A well-timed press shows GOOD. A very precise one shows GREAT and adds to your GREAT chain.
  5. Keep climbing. Pink trampolines stay put, while blue ones marked ‹ › slide sideways.

Game Objective

Climb as high as possible. Your score is your best height in meters, and it only goes up. Boosts matter because they are the only way to gain extra height from a bounce.

The run ends when the ball drops out of sight below the screen.

Tips

  1. The timing window is generous: a press up to about 0.14 seconds before the ball touches the pad, or up to 0.1 seconds after it bounces, earns a boost. GREAT needs a press within about 0.055 seconds of contact, before or after. Don't mash the button: a press that doesn't meet a pad in time shows TOO EARLY and blocks boosts for 0.4 seconds.
  2. A GOOD boost sends the ball roughly one and a half times as high as a plain bounce, and a GREAT roughly twice as high, up to about two and a half times at a x4 chain.
  3. Only a plain, unboosted bounce resets your GREAT chain. A GOOD in the middle of a streak doesn't add to it but doesn't break it either, so a slightly late press is always better than none.
  4. Use the pad glow as your cue. It starts when the falling ball is within about 70 units of a pad and grows brighter as it closes in, peaking right at contact.
  5. The ball stops at the screen's side edges instead of wrapping around. On high boosted bounces, keep steering light on the way up and line up with the next pad while falling.

Difficulty

Difficulty: Easy

Bounce Up is rated Easy because the ball bounces on its own and a mistimed press only costs you the boost, never the run. The climb gets harder over roughly the first 1,200 meters: trampolines shrink from 80 to 58 units wide, the vertical spacing between them grows from about 95–140 units to 120–215, and the share of sliding pads rises from one in ten to one in two. Since a plain bounce rises only about 154 units, many late gaps can't be crossed without a boost, so consistent timing becomes essential.

Bounce Up FAQ

What's the difference between GOOD and GREAT?

Both are boosted bounces. GREAT needs a press within about 0.055 seconds of the ball touching the pad and launches the ball higher, while GOOD covers the rest of the timing window.

How does the GREAT chain work?

Each GREAT raises the chain by one, up to x4, and each step adds a little more bounce height. A normal bounce without a boost resets the chain.

Do I need to press jump to bounce?

No. The ball always bounces when it lands on a trampoline. Pressing jump at the right moment only adds a boost.

Is my best height saved?

Yes. Your best score is saved in your browser's local storage on this device and stays there until you clear your browser data.
