Load the cannon. Pick your angle. Let it fly! Bounce Busters is a fresh twist on the brick breaker: a pinball-style puzzle where you aim a cannon and fire a limited number of balls to bust every block on the board. Every shot ricochets off walls, blocks, and even other balls, so one clever angle can wipe out a whole wall of bricks in a single satisfying chain reaction. Easy to pick up, deliciously hard to master. You have only so many balls per level, so every launch counts. Line up the perfect bounce, chain hits together, and clear the board before the cannon runs dry. HOW TO PLAY Drag to aim your cannon, release to fire Balls bounce off walls, blocks, and each other Fire again while your last shot is still flying – juggle multiple balls at once for massive combos Bust every block before you run out of balls Don't let your balls splash into the water! WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT Hundreds of hand-crafted levels with a smooth difficulty curve Every level mixes and matches obstacles, each with its own rules Physics-based ricochets you can actually predict Quick, bite-sized rounds perfect for a break, or long sessions when you're hooked Satisfying pops, smashes and explosions with every hit Simple one-finger controls – anyone can play, everyone can improve Play offline, anytime, anywhere Whether you grew up on classic arcade brick breakers or you just love a good bouncy physics puzzle, Bounce Busters is the perfect game to keep your brain sharp and your thumb busy. Aim carefully. Bounce boldly. Bust them all!
