Pounce: Bounce Up

Pounce is a one-thumb slingshot climber. Drag back from the ball and release to launch it up an endless vertical shaft — land on the platforms, bank off the side walls, and keep climbing.

The skill is in the landing. Touch down in a platform's center for a PERFECT and build your multiplier higher and higher; ricochet off a wall before you land for a BANK bonus. Falling back down is survivable — you only lose by dropping off the bottom — so every run is about pushing your streak as far as it goes.

The deeper you climb the trickier it gets: crumbling platforms, springboards, conveyor belts, timed glass, and spike traps all unlock as you rise. Beat your best and confetti rains down.

• One-thumb drag-and-release controls with a real trajectory preview • PERFECT center landings build a x2 to x8 multiplier • BANK bonus for shots that ricochet off the walls • Six platform types that unlock the higher you climb • Best score saved between sessions, with a confetti celebration • Quick runs, instant retry, "just one more launch"

How high can you pounce?
