## What is Rebound?

Bring the blade home.

A cannon rides a rail along the bottom of the screen. It throws straight up — that is the only shot you get. Above it, a target bar swings left and right, carrying small coloured zones you have to pin.

Between you and it, blocker bars slide across the lane. A knife that hits one embeds in it and rides off the side of the screen, gone.

So every throw is a prediction of two moving things at once: will my column still be clear when the knife gets up there, and will the zone be over it when it arrives?

Knives are limited. The board is on a clock. Pin every zone to clear it and move on.

HOW IT PLAYS
- Drag to place the cannon, lift your thumb to throw. One hand, the whole game.
- Knives stick where they land — the board ends up telling you your own story.
- The bar swings fast through the middle and hangs at the ends. The edges are the easy shot. You work that out yourself; nothing tells you.
- Blockers are big, slow and completely readable. Getting caught by one is always a shot you could have not taken.

WHAT CHANGES
- Boards escalate: more zones, narrower zones, a faster swing, more blocker lanes, less ammo, less clock.
- Clear board 6, 11 or 16 and you permanently unlock starting there. No grinding an opening you have already beaten.
- Earn sparks for every board cleared, and spend them before a run on extra knives, extra time, or an extra life.
- Three lives. Running out of knives or running out of clock each cost one.

No energy meters. No waiting. A lane, a swing, and how well you read it.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2.0 — 2026-09-18

A gentler start, a clearer board, and a run that climbs in steps.

AN EASIER OPENING
- The first boards swing slower, the zones are wider, and every board has three more seconds on the clock.
- Difficulty now climbs in steps of five. Every fifth board is a peak, and the one after it eases off, so the hardest board yet is followed by room to breathe.
- New zones and new blocker lanes arrive on those easier boards, never on a peak.

A CLEARER BOARD
- The board clock now runs along the top of the target itself, right where you are looking. It turns orange, then pulses red as time runs out.
- The target and the knives are bigger, so a planted knife is easy to see.
- The hint line sits on its own card, so the aiming line no longer runs through it.
- A cleaner backdrop: no drifting specks, no shadow band behind the target.
- Scores read with separators everywhere, and long ones always fit beside the combo.

THE MENU
- The home screen shows the target with your knives in it, and your stats sit on solid cards.
- The minus and plus buttons in Gear Up are centred.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-08-10

Rebound is a completely new game.

The paddle, the ball and the bubbles are gone. In their place: a cannon on a rail that throws knives straight up at a target bar swinging across the top, past blocker bars that carry stray throws off the screen.

- Limited knives and a board clock, so every throw is a decision rather than a retry.
- Knives stick where they land, in the target or in the blocker that took them.
- Boards escalate, and clearing board 6/11/16 permanently unlocks starting there.
- Earn sparks per board; spend them before a run on knives, time or an extra life.
- Rebuilt visually from the ground up — new field, new target bar, new cannon, new icon.
