Meet the bounciest beagle in Maine — one tap is all it takes to start his sprint through four painted seasons. Beagle Bounce is a one-tap endless runner starring a floppy-eared tri-color beagle who never stops running. Tap to jump, tap again mid-air for a flip over tall obstacles, or hold to glide on his ears like little wings. Simple to learn, satisfying to master, and perfect for quick one-handed play. Watch the seasons cycle continuously as your beagle dashes past hand-drawn Maine backdrops that now fill the whole screen. Summer lobster traps and dock pilings, autumn pumpkins and hay bales, winter snowmen and snowy logs, spring flower bushes and rain boots — every season brings fresh scenery, falling leaves, snow, petals, and new hazards to dodge. Collect glowing treats along the way: tennis balls, bone treats, frisbees and maple leaves all add to your score. The longer you survive, the faster things get, so every run keeps you on your toes. New in this update: the Costume Closet! Dress your beagle in eight hand-drawn outfits. Santa Paws and the Downeast Slicker are free from the start, and Jack-o'-Beagle, Cap'n Beagle, Lobstah, Firehouse Pup, Wizard of Woof, and Space Beagle unlock as your scores climb. Every costume is drawn into all of the beagle's poses, so he genuinely wears it while he runs, jumps and glides. And every costume comes with its own power. A dial fills as you run; when it glows, tap it and the beagle goes unstoppable — the world doubles its pace, seasons blur past, and obstacles burst into color as he ploughs straight through them. Santa hits a snow-spray sleigh ride, the wizard pulls down falling stars, the astronaut lights an actual afterburner. Each one lasts a few seconds, then the run goes back to normal and the dial starts filling again. Picking an outfit now changes how a run plays, not just how it looks. Also new: the world Hall of Fame. Completely optional — save three arcade-style initials once, and from then on your best runs post themselves so you can see how you stack up against beagle runners everywhere. No account, no email, no tracking: three initials and a score are the only things the leaderboard ever receives. Skip it, and the game stays 100% offline. NEW in 1.2: bones! Earn them from treats, full years and big scores, then spend them to keep going after a wipeout, right where you stopped, or on five shop-only outfits: Bumble Beagle, Chef Barkington, Sheriff Snoot, Sir Woofsalot and Beagle-Rex, each with its own power. Hold a full power dial a little longer to supercharge your next burst. Survive a full year through all four seasons and earn a paw badge, with more badges stacking up the longer your streak goes. Your best scores, badges, and costumes save right on your device — no account, no login, no fuss. Beagle Bounce is a one-time purchase with no ads, no subscriptions, no tracking, and no account. Optional bone packs are available as in-app purchases, but bones can always be earned just by playing. Plays fully offline; the optional leaderboard needs a connection only when you choose to use it. Charming, family-friendly fun for players of all ages. Download Beagle Bounce and see how far your good boy can run.
