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.

Build a tower of blocks. When six of the same kind touch, they turn to gold. Only gold counts as height. Tap to drop the sliding block. It lands right where its shadow is. Put blocks next to others of the same material, and at six they melt into gold that runs down into the lowest gaps. The blocks stay in the tower as gold, so it keeps growing. A block with nothing under it falls off, and above 10 m that costs a heart. Making gold wins one back. Lose all three and the tower topples. You can save it with Nuggets, or let the top half fall and climb back up. It's the same tower every time you play. Also in the game: • Six golds start a Gold Rush. For five seconds every block you drop turns to gold, and tapping fast sets off a Frenzy. • Balloons carry Nuggets, hearts, bombs and presents. Drop a block through one to pop it. • More than a hundred block friends join as your tower climbs, and your blocks wear them. • Climb past real heights, from a house to Mount Everest and up to where jets fly. Each pays Nuggets the first time. • New pieces turn up as you climb, like a ball that rolls into gaps and a rainbow block that matches anything. • Your tower counts for your country and your state. The leaderboard stacks up every player's tower as it stands right now, so climb together, see whose skyline stands tallest, and see where your own tower ranks among everyone's, under a name you choose. You earn Nuggets by making gold, and the shop sells more. It also sells Patron, which lets a toppled tower keep two thirds instead of half and doubles your daily gifts. Buying anything is optional, and nothing for sale is random. The game has no ads and no account. It sends anonymous stats about how you play, which you can turn off in Settings. The leaderboard gets only your tower's height, a random ID and any name you type, and you can leave it in Settings. To see which of our own ads on Facebook and Instagram bring players in, it reports installs, two early milestones and purchases to Meta, and it asks before using your device's advertising identifier.
