Gun Bounce

Features

You become the gun. Recoil moves you, ricochets pierce. Every shot is attack, dodge, and movement — all at once. A one-tap boss-duel arcade action like nothing else. ■ Every shot changes everything Tap to fire. The bullet flies — and the recoil hurls you in the opposite direction. So every shot is simultaneously an attack, a dodge, a relocation, and the setup for your next move. Change how you fire, and you change how you survive. Simple to grasp, deep to master. ■ Ricochets turn the tide Your bullets bounce once off the walls, striking bosses from impossible angles. The carefully-aimed shots feel sharp. The accidental ricochet kills feel even better. "Wait, did that just happen?" moments are baked into every stage. ■ 10–30 second duels, all-killer no-filler Each stage resolves in 10 to 30 seconds. Short. Dense. - Normal stages: Wave-clear with recoil dodging and ricochet sweeps - Boss stages (every 10): One-on-one bullet duels with massive enemies - Deeper in: Armored boss cores — strip the shell, then break the core in phase 2 Dodging bullet hell with recoil while chipping HP with ricochets is a feel you won't find anywhere else. ■ Failure stings, so you try again "If I'd just aimed slightly higher..." "One more shot and I'd have had it..." Failure here is always readable. You always know why. So one-more-try becomes ten more tries. Power-up drop rates ramp up the more you fail, so a clear path eventually opens. ■ HP=0 isn't game over — REVIVE When the boss takes you out, watch a rewarded ad and continue on the spot. Full HP, 1.5 seconds of invincibility, back in the fight (once per stage). "One more second" — you get to take it back. ■ Four power-ups, infinite combinations Up to 4 drops per stage: ▶ Stamina Up — Fire-rate explodes ▶ Multi-Shot — Three-way spread fires bullet hell right back at them ▶ Extra Bounce — More ricochets, more god-tier angle kills ▶ Shield — One free hit absorbed Stack them simultaneously; the combinations open new strategies on every run. ■ Lives let you grind freely Up to 5 lives, with 1 auto-regenerating every 30 minutes. Out of lives? Refill instantly with a free rewarded ad or 300 coins. Each stage clear pays 100 coins, so the economy works in your favor over time. ■ Who this is for ▶ Anyone who wants a quick adrenaline hit ▶ Boss-battle and bullet-hell lovers ▶ Players who want real feel without complex controls ▶ Anyone hooked on "just one more try" games ▶ Commute, break, and waiting-room players ■ Controls Just tap. No tutorial needed. Understand it in 3 seconds, master it with practice. ■ Other features - Portrait, one-handed play - English / Japanese (auto-detected from system language) - Vibration and sound toggles - Stage progress, coins, and lives auto-saved - Gameplay works offline (only ad display needs a connection) - Privacy settings (GDPR/ATT) accessible any time Tap. Become the gun. Your one shot changes everything.
