Bounce Glow is a pure logic puzzle. The number under your ball is the EXACT number of cells it will travel — not one more, not one less. Pick your direction, chain your jumps, reach the glow. No luck. No timer. Every level has an exact solution: when you find it, you know you found it. Mechanics unfold one at a time and combine: the ball bounces off the edges and keeps counting, portals teleport it, + tiles charge it and increase ALL your later jumps — the order you collect them in changes everything. • 190 hand-built levels • A Daily Challenge, the same one for everyone — keep your streak alive • 3 stars per level: finishing isn't enough, you have to finish right • Endless Rush mode + duel a friend on the same run • Optional global leaderboard • Balls, themes and effects to unlock — even put your photo on a ball • Online save by code Free, with ads. Optional in-app purchases (remove ads, coins).
