BOUNCY
Guide the bouncy ball through a hazardous land to uncover your purpose! Bouncy is a bite sized physics and platforming puzzles built as a challenge to explore Pico-8 and it's tools.
HOW TO PLAY
LEFT and RIGHT - roll the ball.
HOLD DOWN - store jumping energy
RELEASE DOWN - release jumping energy and fly!
X and Z - dampen your bouncing energy
TIPS and TRICKS
Having trouble lining up a jump? Start your ball bouncing in place and tap left or right to land safely.
Use the de-bounce keys to dampen your inertia. It really works!
Can you get top rank? I sure couldn't.

This is really great. It really has the vibes of a classic game from the 8-bit era.
If I could suggest one modification... if felt odd that pushing down on a slope squashed the ball vertically. I felt it should squash into the slope so that releasing the button would make the ball jump at an angle.
Thank you! About the sloped terrain, I agree! (sort of). I had implemented jumping at various angles for a bit but it always felt off with my level design. I think if I redid the game I would definitely start with better slope tile physics, or at least design the traps to work with angled jumps.
@someguy17 True. Punishing but fun. This is a cool game. :)
