Bounce Aim: a live bank‑shot game with optional bonus questions
Bounce Aim is a ricochet shooter set in a neon arena. Players aim an energy orb, bank it off the walls and smash a target. The most hits when the clock runs out wins, and shots are unlimited.

If a question set is loaded, an occasional bonus question can earn a power-up that helps you score more hits. Without a set it is a straight skill game, so it works in any room at any time.
Quick facts
- Players
- 1 or more. Works solo or with a whole room. Each player plays their own arena on their own device.
- Length
- About 48 seconds: a 2.5-second intro followed by a 45-second round.
- Solo room
- Yes. A host can launch it for a single player, since there is no minimum player count. It is not part of the hostless Free Play pool.
How it works
The host launches Bounce Aim and each device shows a 2.5-second intro.
Players aim and fire an orb that ricochets off the arena walls toward a target.
Hits build a combo multiplier on the on-screen points, while the ranked number is the count of hits.
Target types change as you clear them: standard targets, armoured ones with a shell that takes two hits, and splitters that break into two smaller, faster targets.
With a set loaded, a bonus card opens about 6 seconds in, then at least 13 seconds apart, and stays up for 8 seconds. A correct answer earns a power-up.
At the bell the room is ranked by hits, then by bonus answers the server graded correct, then by fewer shots.
Player controls
Press or drag on the arena to aim and release to fire. On a keyboard, nudge the aim with the left and right arrow keys and press Space or Enter to fire.
Quiz questions
Optional. If a question set is loaded, bonus cards are packed at roughly one per 13 seconds (about three in the standard 45-second round) and marked used, so the main quiz does not repeat them. A correct answer earns a random power-up. With no set loaded there are no bonuses.
Tips for hosts
- Load a question set if you want the power-ups. Otherwise it is a pure aiming round.
- Warn the room that the last 10 seconds speed the target up by a quarter, so the finish is frantic.
- Explain the power-ups up front: Multi-Ball, Overdrive, Slow-Mo and +3 Hits all just help you score more hits.
Frequently asked questions
How is Bounce Aim scored?
The ranked number is hits. Ties go to the player with more bonus answers graded correct by the server, then to the one who used fewer shots. Power-ups only ever help you score more hits.
What power-ups can a bonus answer earn?
A correct bonus answer earns one of four: Multi-Ball fires three orbs on the next shot, Overdrive doubles every smash for 6.5 seconds, Slow-Mo slows the target for 6.5 seconds, and +3 Hits gives an instant bonus.
Is there a limit on shots?
No. Shots are unlimited and the score is the hits you land before the clock runs out. The server only caps totals at what a round of this length could physically produce.
