Your tower stands alone. The horde does not stop coming. BOUNCE TOWER is a roguelike pinball defense: fling balls from your tower, watch them ricochet through goblins, skeletons, imps and brutes, and build an arsenal wild enough to survive wave after escalating wave. Every run is a new build. Every bounce counts. DRAFT YOUR ARSENAL • 11 special balls — frost, fire, lasers, black holes, ghosts and more • Merge two balls into devastating hybrids: glaciers, infernos, laser arrays, singularities • Stack runes for raw stats and relics that break the rules — lifesteal, shockwaves, ricochet madness SIX TOWERS, SIX PLAYSTYLES Stone Keep, Crimson Spire, Emerald Hold, Azure Bastion, Golden Citadel, Old Chapel — each with its own stats, its own base ball, its own strategy. CLIMB THE UNLOCK ROAD 25 levels of new balls, runes, relics and castles — then endless mode to test your best builds. PLAY YOUR WAY Tap to aim every shot, hold for rapid fire — or flip on AUTO and let the tower fight while you plan the next upgrade. Quick runs, perfect for one more go. Missions, treasure chests, permanent upgrades — your tower gets stronger every run. How long can you hold?
