About

Bumper Dash

Features
Read full description

Bumper Dash is a simple action game with minimalistic visuals, the goal is to bounce against the walls as many times as possible while avoiding the spikes. Relax and enjoy the colour show, rack up those points and compete with your friends on the global leaderboards. Good to play: - While travelling - On the toilet - In church - While bouncing a ball - Instead of going outside and bouncing a ball - At least once I created the concept and the original version of this game in 30 minutes as a fun way to challenge myself. It has since been updated, rebranded and cleaned up to create a more complete experience. Enjoy!
