Bounce Ball is, well, as far as I can tell it's not an asset flip. It's a sincerly, if somewhat poorly made minimalist/low poly mobile app-like block placement/pathing puzzle game. The objective is to position a "launcher", place blocks around on a square grid, and then shoot the ball so it bounces around and then hits the exit. That's all there is to it, pretty shallow stuff in the modern era of gaming.
From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics.
The game features lazy minimalist/untextured low-polygon "retro" assets and visuals, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the early 1990s. The lack of textures is a method that lazy devs often use to disguise their lack of talent/interest in doing the graphics properly and trying to disguise it under the name of "art", or "We made it look bad on purpose", which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with. It's unclear why the developers weren't willing to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets and high resolution textures for the game. It looks bad as a result of their decisions, and that's just another reason to avoid it.
The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers.
This looks and feels like a mobile app, but I wasn't able to find it on the app stores. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all).
Regardless, for all intents and purposes "Bounce Ball" might as well be a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. We don't spend all this money building gaming rigs so we can pretend they're iPhones and play games that might as well be mobile apps.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.
Bounce Ball is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. Because this is the kind of game you can just play for free on mobile phones, it's impossible to recommend anyone should pay money for the same experience on Steam.
UI is so confusing
Have no idea what to do stuff, such as rotating blocks
I mean, it's what it is, I just wouldn't charge money for it. espically not 2$
Bought it but had to refund.
Seems the developers never considered that someone might be left-handed. Either that or they just didn't care.
No way to remap the keys.
Unity game but no way to access the Unity Config (so can't even remap keys with that).
If they had just set the game up to use cursor keys as well as Q,E,A,D that would have helped.
Game was just too uncomfortable to play using mouse and those keys.
Its ok I guess for the price but once you learn the basics, very predictable.
Played in small chunks its a good time waster.
If you think logically then levels are easy to beat, I did find it fun however to try to beat levels with the bare minimum placing of deflectors. some levels that look difficult and offer several credits can be beaten with just 1 judicious placement and much patience watching it bounce around and around the screen.
Quite satisfying to accomplish, so a thumbs up.
After playing this game for a bit, I found it very fun.
It is one of the only puzzel games I have played and I got stuck right in. Completing each level.
If you like physics based games like this then I highly recommed it to you.
