One ball. One paddle. Three lives. The ball speeds up with every hit. After seventy hits it is three times as fast as it started, and no faster — faster would not be harder, only unfair. From 60 hits the paddle begins to shrink. By 110 it is a little under half its starting width, and there it stays. From 40 hits a second ball joins, from 85 a third, from 130 a fourth. Each one slows down in return: two balls at the speed of one are not hard, they are impossible. If you would rather keep to a single ball, switch it off before you start. There is a block at the top for the ball to bounce off. On an iPhone with a Dynamic Island it sits exactly beneath it — the ball then bounces off the cutout itself. Three lives. You do not get one back. After every ball you lose it counts down from three before play resumes. That is all it is. • A round takes minutes • No account, no ads, no purchases • Works without internet • Collects no data • Leaderboard with friends via Game Center, if you like Best with sound.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BOUNCE at none against Paddle Balls's 6. BOUNCE also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). Paddle Balls's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price and review sentiment there is nothing between them.
