Bounce 2

Released for the Atari 2600 in 1983, Bounce attempted to dethrone the ball based gameplay king PONG, but due to the Video Game Crash, the game saw very few copies made, and never got the chance to properly combat its nemesis. Now we finish the fight together, with Bounce 2. The key to fun multiplayer is dynamic emergent gameplay. The Bounce 2 Physics systems all work perfectly in sync together to create the ultimate playground, both locally and online. Simply jump into the ball for a simple and intuitive strategy, or go for a more precise approach using the right stick, where you're able to fully control your limbs. This marriage of physics and open ended player control just feels great to play. The player is made up of 2 colliders, the body, and the limb. This 2 collider system ensures rock solid calculations while providing a responsive and robust control. Control the arm while on the ground, and swing the right thumbstick in the air to kick and control your leg. This guarantees a system that makes you truly feel like every move you make was your own. Play with up to 4 Players locally, in all game modes. Will you prioritize Defence, Offence, or Player Elimination? Find your team, perfect your strategy, and take down your opponents! Bounce 2 uses Photon Quantum, a bleeding edge deterministic networking solution that delivers frame perfect gameplay across all player clients. Player input is sent to the server which calculates the Physics and Gameplay components. That data is then sent back to each client, which renders the visual components on the local hardware. All this technical nonsense results in an online system that feels fast paced and on par with the local experience. Every Jump, Kick, Dash, and Goal is perfectly synchronized, whether your playing a friend down the hall, or halfway around the world. Classic Mode Designed to test each players skill level, this mode is the true proving ground. In Bounce Mode, there is no numerical score. Instead, with each goal, the slider at the top of the screen in pushed toward the opposing side. This Tug of War style scoring means the more evenly the matched opponents, the longer the match. Brick Mode Inspired by Brick Breaker, Brick Mode has each player breaking through a wall of bricks in order to score a goal. If the ball goes past your wall, and your opponent scores, your wall will be regenerated. Defend your Each round lasts 2 and half minutes, so works well if you want a quick competitive round. Party Mode Inspired by mini-game centred titles like Mario Party and Wario Ware, Party Mode is a mixed bag of over 15 different modified rounds, randomly selected after each goal. Race your opponent down corridors in RUN, swim and dive in WATER mode, prove your skill in MULTI-BALL, or create your own custom mixture of your favourite modifiers in a custom playlist. More Analog Inspired by the graphics and limitations of Bounce (1983), and perfected by years of experience with analog monitors and television, Bounce 2 features a CRT TV shader like you've never seen. The Shader is a combination of texture scanned directly from the JVC TM-P10SU (Professional video monitor from 1996) and post processing resulting in an accurate and uniquely beautiful image. Just like a real analog television, shift the brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation in the graphics settings to create a personalized experience. This simple addition is surprisingly fun. CRT Support Bounce 2 was designed with Analog equipment in mind. Nothing is more frustrating than buying an HDMI to Analog adapter online just to have your game cut off, squished, and fundamentally unplayable! By including a CRT Calibration setting, Bounce 2 allows users to fine tune their signal in game. Shift the position and scale of the signal until the Bounce arena lines up perfectly with your unique CRT. Its a simple addition, but makes a huge difference. This ones for you sports fans.
