About the Game
Bounce is a VR physics-based puzzle game for the HTC Vive and Oculus Touch. Under the supervision of H8-Bit and 2Bit, two robots tasked with overseeing security of the intergalactic spaceship, players must help D1G-B, their spherical robot companion, traverse levels using an array of gadgets at their disposal to exit each level’s portal. With moving obstacles, laser gates, gravity wells, and multi-floor levels obstructing the path of D1G-B, players will have to use their creativity to construct solutions.COOL FEATURES:
- 50 Levels of ever increasing complexity. Oh, there are levels where you will hate us, but we bet you can't stop!
- Use an array of Physics based Gadgets to solve each level such as Half-Pipes, Planks, Accelerator Rings, Trampolines, Tractor Beams, etc. Use the right tools for the job.
- Star-rank Scoring System based on your efficiency at solving each level. Can you 3-Star every level? Ha! We'd like to see you try.
- Beat the game and unlock Style Mode. Play each level again in Style Mode and get scored on your creative complexity instead of efficiency. Make it crazy!
- Get Ranked! See how you stack up against other players in Style Mode on our Global Leaderboards or compare your score with your Steam Friends and soak in their adulation or contemptuous disdain.
- Infectious 23 track original score of Synthwave awesomeness, we dare you not to groove out while testing your brain!
- You can use up to 3 in-game profiles so you can let that pesky neighbor try VR without messing up your Star Scores.

Excellent physics puzzles, some quite clever. It'd be nice to see more.
I completed 16 of the 50 puzzles in my first sitting and had a wonderful time. I always know I'm onto something special when I smile the whole time I'm playing (and I am horribly depressed, so this game performed a minor miracle). I love puzzle games like this: physical, practical, immediate, rather than esoteric "puzzles that god made when drunk and in a whimsical mood" type stuff that leaves me baffled and frustrated.
The goal of each room is simple (but not at all!): get the little robot ball from where he emerges to the exit point. Each room gives you a selection of bounce pads, tubes, boost rings etc., that you can place anywhere to create a marble madness style course. You get ranked on your designs, with more stars awarded for using fewer pieces (and possibly other criteria I don’t understand – I wasn’t always sure why I scored highly or poorly). I usually ended up using most of my pieces and creating inelegant courses but I didn’t care because I was enjoying myself. Your robot ball will bounce, boost, shoot over obstacles, get pulled by tractor beans, and ricochet round corners. It's so satisfying and playful, no matter how messy and makeshift your constructions. The physics are solid, natural and reliable, and I didn't give them a second thought, which is just as it should be. You only notice physics in games if they’re wrong or glitchy. The music is catchy too. Thanks to VR you’ll be viewing your arrangements from all angles, tweaking and perfecting; you’ll feel very present and rooted in this world and have a sense of the solidity of your constructions. Yes, it would work as a flatscreen first person game, but the child in you will appreciate the mansize Mouse Traps (look it up if you’re not as old as me. It’s a board game from the Jurassic period).
Anyway, I loved it. I am also a fan of the Talos Principal, The Swapper, Clank’s puzzle bits in Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time, and both Portal games, so that might give you an idea of the sort of puzzle game fan I am and whether Bounce might be for you. It's fantastically priced too.
(I played on the Oculus Rift, front facing only with limited space. I had no problem playing because the game has a directional teleport system and click turning. It also has crouch, which was great because my tracking loses me if I bend too low)
This simulation provides a great introduction to physics concepts. Players need to create a Rube Goldberg type of contraption to maneuver a virtual marble to a target. Users experiment with angles, slope, and speed to complete the challenge. My middle school students were discussing momentum and distance, completely oblivious to the fact that they were demonstrating their understanding of content because they were so intent on working together to get to the next level. This series of levels makes this an easy game to use with a large group and helps users build on prior knowledge to achieve success.
I wish there were no star rating or the criteria was clearer. I love the game and progression would be enough. I don't play it enough because I have getting a bad star rating for a clever solution but I love the game and it gets a thumbs up.
This reminds me of The Incredible Machine but in 3D room-scale. You move a ball from one spot to another using a limited number of planks, conveyor belts, pipes, fans, trampolines, etc. Even a tiny change in angle of one item changes everything. It's awesome.
Great puzzle game that makes use of VR for its space, dimensions, and controllers (unlike some puzzlers that would work 2d on screen and have just dropped you down there for VR's sake). The music and overall ambience is relaxed, making this a nice end-of-a-long-day kind of game. The controls and feel of the puzzles is great, though I'm not a huge fan of the trigger for teleport. I'm not sure if I'd pay the full $27 dollars for this, but it was certainly worth it at its summer sale price of $8.
Fun, but I'm left wondering what grants a three-star level. Using the least amount of items in my inventory to complete the level or hitting the goal closest to center? One level had ~6 items in the inventory. I reached the goal using only two items and received a single-star rating. What!? I used different items in the inventory and was eventually able to get a three-star rating. What!? What!? Yes, I'm the anal, over-achiever who wants three stars on every level, so it got old fast. I stopped playing because of the unpredictable ratings.
If you just to play through the levels and solve the puzzles without any concern for the ratings, this is a great puzzle game and utilizes controls and space well.
*It has implemented blink/transport locomotion.
*Controls are intuitive and work well with the environment.
*It would have been nice had they utilized true room-size room scale for this game. It would have made for a more enjoyable, more immersive experience.
Initial review which will be updated after more playtime (but in the meantime, this game needs to be seen by more people!):
This game is great. It's one of those puzzle games where you got to get your little guy to some end goal by building a track with various properties. What's great about this in VR is you can really get a feel for the 3D configuration that you're building and can watch from wherever you want.
I look forward to playing around with this one some more!
Bounce is a perfect example of how VR can be used to create new and entertaining experiences in three dimensions. The premise is simple, get a cute ball from one end of an obstacle course to the other using a limited set of pieces and a limited number of attempts at trial and error along the way.
What sets Bounce apart from a lot of tepid VR puzzlers is that it takes full advantage of all three dimensions. The ball usually starts in the ceiling, and you have a limited amount of momentum to get it quite some distance to a target that could also be up in the ceiling, or behind numerous baffles, or only after finding a way to get through several hoops between start and finish.
Bounce earns distinction not only for the puzzles, but its soundtrack as well. The audio is enjoyable (except for the sad, sad sound of D1G-B hitting a bulkhead - and even that's amusing). The graphics are up to snuff and the game looks polished and professional.
If I have a disappointment with the game, it's that it doesn't tell you what "par" is for each course. Figuring out that style doesn't matter (in the first go-round) only the number of times you test your pathway for D1G-B was both mildly frustrating and a minor let down.
All in all, if you enjoy puzzle games, Bounce is a great one to buy.

Bounce is a ‘get the robot ball into the hole’ puzzle game in a quirky sci-fi setting.
On your left hand you’re granted various gadgets to place into the scene. With your right hand you can move and aim them how you wish, as well as release the tiny bot from its origin and reset the bot back to the beginning.
The design is colorful and pleasant, and the music is fun to listen to. On some of the levels you’re treated to a fun scene through windows with supervising bots reacting to the fact that your helping release the bounce bot.
The levels start simple and small, but the later levels get quite large and expansive.
I found this game really addicting and enjoyable. It took me about 7 hours to beat all 50 levels. And after you beat the game you can replay each level in Style Mode, in which you get scored by creative complexity instead of efficiency.
If this type of game appeals to you then I highly recommend it.
If you like puzzles or enjoy a challenge then this game for you, fun, challenging, incredibly gorgeous 10/10
Great game all around. The graphics are amazing. Sometimes I just sit and stare through the windows for a while. The levels are pretty intense and take some time to work through. I love the lightbulb moment when I figure it out. I also love the music.
My only complaint is that in some levels, the physics seem inconsistent. It could just be me, but sometimes doing the exact same things without any outside influence (like gravity zones or moving objects) produces different trajectories. It could be some part of the mechanics of the game I don't understand, and it doesn't happen in many levels, but it does happen occasionally. Regardless, I'd recommend this game to anyone.
After a short play of the demo, i knew this game was for me. It's an excellent puzzle type game with fun graphics and good music.
Bounce....this game is ADDICITING as hell. Honestly I bought it because I wanted to play more Portal and this was the closest thing I could find for puzzles. This game is great and you actually have to use your brain a bit to get the ball from point A to point B. Try it out you won't be let down!
This game is great. Exellent graphics and fun to play.
Very ploshed and smooth a must buy.
I'm updating my review after ending the game: I spent 7hrs to finish it, the duration depends on how good you are in solving the puzzle (I'm averagely good in such kind of games). From global charts, I could be the third one to end the game... not bad considering than from Steamspy there are almost 1000 owners and the game is out from a week :)
Bounce is an awesome physic puzzle. Not only is super polished, with extremely sharp edges and lot of shaders: it's made with style. Animations (unfortunately mostly noticeable in the spectacular ending) are wonderful, those robots looks like a Pixar short, cute and expressive. The soundtrack is also real good, with a main theme and lot of variations.
The game itself offers 50 levels, with a nice progression: almost 10 level to learn basis, then it start to grow in difficulty and dimension level by level, introducing new obstacles and scenery. It's a very long and challenging game, not just for VR standards.
For puzzle lovers with a VR device capable of roomscale and handtracking, this is a must.
Very polished game. I like the dorky sounds the little alien robot makes. I know I haven't played much, but I can tell when a game feels right and will be fun with friends. I think it's definetly a game to show to friends who are interested in VR, or who haven't tried it yet. I've played about 4 levels, and the immersion is nice. I hear there's about 50 levels, and then a style type of level, so I believe the content is there. For the discounted price, It was a no brainer for me.
Played the demo, and I was impresssed enough to pick up the full version. So far its been a lot of fun - the controls are simple, and the gameplay works great for room scale. Fun puzzle game that feels like a complete game, not just "part 1" or "early access" which a lot of current VR titles seem to be.
Love it..
Bought it minutes after it came out because the demo was so good and as expected it's instantly in my top 5 favorite VR games so far.. (which is finally becoming a top 10)
The polish is almost at the level of The Lab imo. Not quite as detailed textures but the game looks and feels great (running perfectly on 970)
While I enjoy GravLab - if you were excited about its premise but let down by the execution - this game is going to fill that void.. (and while GravLab is similar they are also very different.. its kinda like comparing Street Fighter with Mortal Kombat..or k'nex and legos)
The physics are great.The levels (so far, at level 20 i think) are progressing well enough - but I'm worried that 50 lvls may not be enough as they start out quite easy. The first 10-15ish were a breeze..
I hope that someday we'll get a level editor with workshop capability, that would be amazing.
Just get the demo.
If you like it at all then the full game is absolutely worth the price
edit: It gets much more challenging lvl 20+. Also, I didn't realize there was a 2nd game mode so I'm excited for that. Still would like an editor tho devs :p
I really enjoy this one, if you like puzzles and experimenting this game is for you. It is really fun to see your set ups play down as the levels get more complex. Feels really polished, and the music is great.
