Bounce Launch is a launch-for-distance game about one perfect hit. Your character sits on a little pad in front of a huge spring-loaded rubber mallet. Tap once to lock the launch angle on the sweeping arrow, tap again to set the power on the bouncing meter, and the mallet sends your hero flying. From there physics takes over: it soars, tumbles, bounces off the ground and rolls on until it finally comes to rest, and every metre counts.

The landscape is endless and different on every launch. Trampolines throw you back into the sky, springs fire you forward, balloons pop and lift you, friendly birds bump you onward and rockets give a huge burst of speed with a moment of slow motion. Watch out for sand and mud that eat your speed and soft cacti that stop you in your tracks. In the air you can hold to spread your arms and glide, or press Boost for an extra kick when a flight starts to sink.

Every flight pays coins for the distance and for the coins you grab on the way. Spend them on six upgrade tracks with ten levels each: a stronger launcher, more bounce, longer gliding, more boosts, better aerodynamics and a coin magnet. Unlock a panda, a robot, a pumpkin and an astronaut, each with its own small advantage, and fly far enough to open the jungle, the city and the low-gravity moon. Three missions at a time give bonus coins, and the daily challenge puts everyone on the same course with one try for the leaderboard.

How to play

  1. Press Launch. Tap (or press Space) when the sweeping arrow points where you want: around 45 degrees goes furthest on flat ground.
  2. Tap again to stop the power meter. Hit the dashed zone at the very top for a perfect hit and extra speed.
  3. In the air, hold the screen (or Space) to glide while your glide bar lasts, and press Boost (or B) for a kick forward and up.
  4. Aim for trampolines, springs, balloons, birds and rockets; avoid sand, mud and cacti. The flight ends when your character stops rolling.
  5. Spend coins on upgrades and characters, complete missions for bonus coins and try the daily challenge once a day.

FAQ

What is the best launch angle?

On flat ground about 45 degrees flies furthest, which is the green band on the angle arrow. Lower angles roll further along the ground, higher ones climb high enough to meet balloons and birds, so try both.

How do I fly further?

Hit the top of the power meter for a perfect hit, save your boosts for when a flight starts to sink, glide over sand and mud, and spend your coins on the launcher and bounce upgrades first. Every launch earns coins, so even a short flight helps.

How does the daily challenge work?

Every day at midnight UTC there is a new course that is the same for every player. You get one try, and your distance goes on that day's leaderboard. Your upgrades and character still count, so getting stronger in normal launches helps.
