About

Pounce

Features
Read full description

Pounce is a one-thumb slingshot climber. Drag back, release, and launch the ball up an endless vertical shaft — land on the platforms, bank off the walls, keep climbing. The skill is in the landing: hit a platform dead center for a PERFECT and build your multiplier up to x8. Falling is survivable — you only lose at the very bottom. The higher you climb, the meaner it gets: crumbling pads, springboards, conveyor belts, timed glass, spikes — and now ice, blinking platforms and see-saws. • Global leaderboard with country flags — no account needed • Weekly seasons: a fresh board every Monday, star prizes for the top 3 • Cloud save: your progress survives reinstalls and new phones • 50+ ball skins and 5 themes to unlock with stars and trophies • Quick runs, instant retry, "just one more launch" How high can you pounce?
