Bounce: Aim One Shot, Watch Fifteen Ricochets 🎯
Published: August 10, 2026 · 4 min read
Bounce is a turn-based brick breaker. You aim once, a whole volley of balls fires along that line, and then you watch. The wall creeps down one row per turn, and when it reaches the bottom you're finished.
The rules
Drag to aim, release to fire. Every ball you have travels along that line, bouncing off walls and bricks. Each hit knocks one off a brick's number; at zero it breaks. When all the balls return, the wall drops a row and you aim again.
The pocket shot
The instinct is to aim at whatever brick has the highest number. That's a one-hit shot.
The high-value play is to find a pocket — a gap or channel between bricks where a ball entering at a shallow angle gets caught rattling back and forth. One ball in a good pocket lands ten or fifteen hits before it escapes, and with a volley of twenty balls, a pocket clears a whole section in a single turn.
Pockets appear naturally as you break bricks unevenly, which means deliberately leaving an uneven wall is often better than clearing a tidy row.
Angles that pay
Shallow beats steep. A near-horizontal shot crosses the entire board and can hit twenty bricks along the way. A vertical shot hits one column and comes straight back.
Use the side walls. Bricks at the far left are often easier to reach by bouncing off the right wall, and the bounce adds hits along the way.
Aim at the ceiling gap. If there's an opening above the wall, a ball that gets through will bounce along the top of the bricks hitting them from above, repeatedly. This is the strongest single shot in the game.

Questions people actually ask
What's the best strategy in a brick breaker?
Look for pockets rather than targets. A ball that gets trapped in a channel between bricks racks up ten or more hits per turn, which is worth far more than a precise shot at one brick.
Should I aim high or low?
Shallow, near-horizontal shots travel further and hit more bricks. Steep shots come straight back and waste the turn.
