About Bouncing Bug

The bug never stops moving. It bounces off the walls of a box you cannot leave, and your one input is a change of direction at the right moment. Monsters wait inside that box, and the treasure and the food sit where they are awkward to reach.

That makes a run a series of small decisions taken slightly early or slightly late. Collecting enough opens other bugs to play as. It runs in landscape at 800 by 600, on a phone or a desktop, with one input.

How to play

  1. Watch where the bug is heading after the next wall.
  2. Change its direction to steer around the monsters.
  3. Pick up the treasure and the food on the way.
  4. Stay alive long enough to unlock another bug.

Controls

Tap or clickEverything. One input does the whole game.

Tips

  • Change direction early, not once the monster is already close. The bug keeps its speed either way.
  • Skip a treasure that sits next to a monster. A run that ends there collects nothing.
