JOUNCER PX
is a one button arcade game
about guiding a particle
through 10 stages
to get the highest score you can.
Part of the Q4 2023
Tiny Mass Games Collection
LAUNCH CHALLENGE
The first 10 players to send me a screenshot or video of their final score beating all 10 stages will be added to a little hall of fame!
So get jouncin'!
CONTROLS
- [MOUSE] or KEYBOARD to interact with menus
- [SPACE BAR] to change direction (aka JOUNCE)
- [ESC] or [P] to pause ([ESC] won't work in fullscreen)
- [M] to toggle mute/unmute
- [C] to toggle between camera modes.
HOW TO PLAY
- You control the YELLOW particle on screen
- The ARROWS show which direction the particle will go on the next JOUNCE
- Press the [SPACE BAR] to JOUNCE
- Pick up BLUE CHARMS
- Avoid RED STRANGELETS
- Beat ALL 10 STAGES to win!
PRO TIPS
- Some STRANGELETS give off an aura of ENERGY
- Pass through the ENERGY AURA without hitting a STRANGELET to SKIM the ENERGY off of them.
- Collecting ENERGY will fill the ENERGY METER on the right, granting passive bonuses
- Filling the ENERGY METER will eventually unlock FEVER which is a time-limited bonus mode for maximizing your score!

Here's our Gamedev Feedback:
hey!! Thanks so much for playing
Appreciate the notes too - definitely touched on some changes I would like to make if/when I pick it back up or make an updated version
This is probably my favorite title to come out of TMG. Polished, fun, inspired design.
<3 Thank you so much! Really happy I could partner with the TMG release and happy with how it came out.
Woo hoo! Learning to 'skim' the enemies made such a big difference. So well polished, really fun!
Haha should have called it SKIMMER PX! Thanks for the play!
Jouncer PX oozes with juice, everything feels so good to interact with and the design is top-notch!
I also really like what you did with the skimming mechanic, kind of reminds me of the bullet graze system found in some shoot em ups. Great job!
Thanks you!! Yeah definitely an inspiration from some bullet hells.
I feel jounced. Great work with this game, it feels very kinetic and full of life. No mean task.
Thanks so much Josh!
what a BALLer game
