Bouncy Break has the simplistic gameplay hook of your average KetchApp or Voodoo game, but with a slightly elevated sense of style.
It plays a bit like an endless climber, but in reverse.
Despite an overtly sunny disposition, however, there's a surprising sense of aggression and urgency to its 'endless stomper' gameplay.
Don't let the sun go down on youI'm not entirely sure what the protagonist of Bouncy Break is supposed to be. If I were to hazard a guess, though, you might be playing the role of The Sun in some kind of hyper-stylised summer holiday poster.
Below you lies the sea, with the lapping waves represented by cascading blocks moving left and right at different rates.
It's all rendered in the hazy block tones of a generic Ibiza chill-out compilation album cover which, along with the appropriately tasteful mid-tempo Balearic house soundtrack, gives everything a distinctly summery vibe.
Catch some raysTapping the screen causes your sun/ball/item of fruit to splash down onto the moving blocks below. If you hit the top one squarely, you'll bounce back up. Miss or catch a corner, and it's game over.
The skill here is in paying attention to the blocks below the top one. If you wait until the perfect moment, you'll crash through multiple blocks in one swoop, leading to a satisfying combo effect.
There are also bonus sun-glasses to collect and multiple coloured zones to move through. But the main driver is that aimless, repetitive groove that all good time wasters can lock you into.
Summer break
There really isn't too much to Bouncy Break, but it succeeds in its own very limited terms by getting the basics of control and feedback just right.
The gentle vibration and visual affirmation that accompanies a successful block combo proves a compelling reason to keep playing. Not for all that long, obviously - there simply isn't enough going on for that.
But you might well find yourself hitting the 'play again' prompt more times than you'd expect - especially on a lazy sunny afternoon.
