Bounce Back is a very simple and very hard platformer.

Made mostly as a project to kill some time, Bounce Back was made by me with one goal in mind:

Make a game as simple as possible while still being engaging.

There are only 2 controls:

1. You click in the direction you want the ball to jump.

2. Hold escape to go to main menu

There are only 4 main mechanics:

1. You can jump twice before being unable to.

2. Your jumps reset when you hit a block.

3. Blue blocks are really bouncy but only reset one jump.

4. Red spikes respawn you at the nearest checkpoint below you.

The game only uses 3 sprites:

1. A triangle for the spikes and ending flag

2. A circle for the ball that you control

3. Rectangles for walls and the ending flag pole

Despite the simplicity you will find that it is an extremely challenging and possibly even addicting game as the gameplay is tight, the sections are tantalizingly short, and the resets are fast.
