Stack Bounce

Game Introduction

Stack Bounce is a classic arcade-style bouncing ball challenge game that focuses on "precise control of the ball's descent." With simple controls and highly challenging level designs, it has become a popular choice in the casual gaming category. Players control a bouncing ball that continuously falls through stacked circular platforms, needing to avoid gaps between platforms to prevent elimination. The game features a bright and minimalist visual style, paired with rhythmic background music. As levels progress, platform movement speed and gap density gradually increase, meeting the needs of fragmented entertainment while also training reaction speed and strategic planning, making it suitable for players of all ages.

Game Features

Minimal Controls, Easy to Learn and Immersive

The game features highly simplified controls: simply tap the screen (on mobile) or click the mouse (on PC) to control the ball's bounce direction. The strength and frequency of taps determine the ball's trajectory—light taps allow fine adjustments, while rapid taps enable short-distance quick bounces. No complex button combinations are required, and new players can master the basics in just one minute, easily immersing themselves in the core fun of "controlling the ball to avoid obstacles and descend," without the entry barrier of complex operations.

Progressive Difficulty, Layered Challenges

Unlike single-difficulty bouncing games, this game features a "dynamic difficulty adjustment" mechanism:

• Early Levels: Platforms are densely distributed, move slowly, and have narrow gaps, helping players get familiar with the controls.
• Mid-Levels: Platforms start moving randomly, gaps widen, and some platforms temporarily disappear (becoming invisible for 3 seconds before reappearing), testing reaction speed.
• Late Levels: Platform movement speed doubles, and special platform types like "reverse rotation platforms" and "elastic rebound platforms" appear. The danger zone also expands, requiring strategic planning of descent routes to avoid blind bouncing.
• The difficulty progression ensures that beginners won't feel frustrated while experienced players can enjoy continuous challenges.

Diverse Levels and Scenes, No Visual Fatigue

The game offers three core level types: "Classic Mode," "Speed Mode," and "Obstacle Mode," each with unique scene styles:

• Classic Mode: Basic circular platforms with solid color backgrounds, focusing on basic bounce control.
• Speed Mode: Dark sci-fi backgrounds with neon effects on platform edges, featuring faster overall descent speed and emphasizing quick reactions.
• Obstacle Mode: Includes fixed obstacles (e.g., floating spikes, moving barriers) and "interference airflow" in platform gaps that alter the ball's trajectory, requiring both obstacle avoidance and ball control.
• The rich level and scene designs prevent long-term play from becoming visually or mechanically monotonous.

Achievements and Leaderboard System to Inspire Challenges

The game includes a comprehensive achievement system and global leaderboard:

• Achievement Tasks: Includes dozens of achievements such as "Pass 10 platforms consecutively," "Fall 50 meters without mistakes," and "Unlock all special platform types." Completing these unlocks exclusive skins (e.g., "Neon Glow Ball," "Metallic Ball").
• Global Leaderboard: Real-time updates of players' highest platform levels and completion times, with the ability to view friend rankings. Competing with others inspires continuous challenges, adding competitive fun to a casual game.

Target Audience

All-Age Casual Players: Simple and barrier-free controls, bright visuals, and enjoyable gameplay for children (to improve hand-eye coordination), teenagers (for fragmented entertainment), and adults (for stress relief).

Reaction Speed Trainers: Students and office workers can use the game for daily practice to improve focus and quick reaction skills, especially to relieve mental fatigue after work or study.

Fragmented Time Users: Flexible session durations (as short as 1-2 minutes or as long as 10 minutes), with pause-and-resume functionality, making it suitable for commutes, queues, lunch breaks, and other fragmented times without requiring long-term commitment.

Achievement Collectors and Ranking Enthusiasts: Players who enjoy unlocking achievements and climbing leaderboards, constantly challenging themselves to set new personal records and experiencing the satisfaction of "self-improvement."

Arcade Nostalgia Players: Fans of classic arcade games with simple yet addictive gameplay, eager to relive the "easy to play, hard to master" arcade fun on mobile or PC.

How to Play

Basic Controls and Clear Goals

Start your first game by selecting "Classic Mode":

• Controls: Tap anywhere on the screen to control the ball's bounce. Tap the left side of the screen to bounce left, the right side to bounce right, and the center to fall vertically.
• Core Goal: Control the ball to continuously fall through circular platforms. Earn 10 points for each platform passed. The more platforms you pass, the higher your score. If the ball falls into a gap (danger zone), the game ends, and you must restart.

Beginner Tips

• Prioritize Stability Over Speed: Avoid rushing to fall quickly. Pause briefly on each platform to observe the next platform's position and movement direction before deciding when to bounce.
• Handle Moving Platforms: Wait for the platform to move closer to the ball's current position before bouncing, reducing the chance of falling into gaps.
• Test Descent Trajectories: If unsure about the next platform's position, lightly tap the screen to make small bounces and test the descent trajectory, avoiding large bounces that may lead to loss of control.

Advanced Strategies and High-Score Tips

• Mid-Level Temporary Disappearing Platforms: Memorize the disappearance pattern (usually every 3 seconds for 1-2 seconds) and quickly pass when the platform is visible, avoiding prolonged stays.
• Late-Level Reverse Rotation Platforms: Predict the platform's rotation direction. For clockwise rotation, jump from the left side of the platform to use the rotational force for a smoother landing on the next platform.
• Utilize Score Multiplier Items: Randomly spawned "score multiplier balls" (double points for 10 seconds) should be prioritized. Adjust your route to collect them and boost your total score, climbing the leaderboard faster.

Mode Selection Recommendations

• For Beginners: Start with "Classic Mode" to build basic skills before trying "Speed Mode."
• For Thrill Seekers: Directly challenge "Obstacle Mode," but familiarize yourself with basic controls first to avoid frequent failures due to obstacles.
• For Relaxation: Choose "Endless Mode" (no time limit, unlimited platform descent) to enjoy stress-free bouncing fun.
• If you enjoy simple yet challenging arcade-style games, want to train your reaction speed during fragmented time, or aim to unlock achievements and climb leaderboards, try Stack Bounce now and start your bouncing adventure!
