BOUNCY

Guide the bouncy ball through a hazardous land to uncover your purpose! Bouncy is a bite sized physics and platforming puzzles built as a challenge to explore Pico-8 and it's tools.

HOW TO PLAY

LEFT and RIGHT - roll the ball.

HOLD DOWN - store jumping energy

RELEASE DOWN - release jumping energy and fly!

X and Z - dampen your bouncing energy

TIPS and TRICKS

Having trouble lining up a jump? Start your ball bouncing in place and tap left or right to land safely.

Use the de-bounce keys to dampen your inertia. It really works!

Can you get top rank? I sure couldn't.

Really neat little platformer that gets a lot of milage out of its very (pardon the pun) off the wall mechanic.
I really liked the way it recontextualizes basic platforming in a way that's both intuitive and uniquely challenging, had a delightful and surprising time with this<3

Thank you! Puns are always appreciated :3


I won!! This was really cute and way more expansive than I expected. The power-up at the end and the breezy climb out were nice twists that really brought the whole thing home. The structure of the whole last level is great too. Nice job on this, good debut game!
