a one-button, rhythm-and-timing driven arcade jumper. Guide a bouncy ball between platforms, hit red buttons for bonus points, launch off golden bricks for extra height, collect diamonds to unlock skins, and climb the global leaderboard across Normal and Hard modes.
My first minutes with Bounce Up were pure “one more run” energy. With a single tap/click you steer a little ball from platform to platform—landing and takeoff timing is everything. Special tiles like red buttons and golden bricks mix up the physics and scoring, diamonds feed a steady drip of skin unlocks, and Normal/Hard modes plus a global leaderboard keep the chase for mastery alive.
Feature
- One-button purity: tap/click to bounce—simple rules, deep rhythm and precision.
- Varied platform mechanics:
- Red buttons = momentum surge and scoring opportunities.
- Golden bricks = higher, trickier arcs.
- Standard platforms = stable pacing to reset your rhythm.
- Progress & cosmetics: collect diamonds to unlock ball skins (sports, emoji, candy vibes, and more).
- Two difficulties + leaderboard: scale up from learning runs to sweaty score pushes.
- Escalating tempo: the longer you survive, the faster it gets—easy to slip into that flow state.
Gameplay
Core controls
- Tap/click to keep the ball hopping across platforms. On keyboard, the Up Arrow or Space works nicely for jump timing.
Scoring & objectives
- Push for higher scores by nailing accurate landings and chaining red buttons while using golden bricks to grab altitude.
- Some stages feature threshold lines—crossing them yields points, but higher arcs mean riskier recoveries.
My early tips
- Play the rhythm, not the ceiling: lock down safe landings before chasing sky-high arcs—panic jumps snowball mistakes.
- Prioritize reds: route around red buttons for momentum and points; “graze landings” can be more efficient than dead-center drops.
- Tame the gold: the extra lift from golden bricks is spicy—pre-aim your next platform so you don’t launch yourself into trouble.
- Step the difficulty: warm up on Normal, then swap to Hard for leaderboard pushes.

Q3: What special tiles are there?
A3: Standard platforms (stability), golden bricks (extra bounce), and red buttons (momentum + points).
Q4: Are there skins or collectibles?
