Bouncing Over It is a precision platformer that puts you in control of the legendary Monkey King's staff as you navigate through a series of increasingly challenging obstacles to reach the summit of a single, daunting level. Design Philosophy Inspired by the genre’s ability to provoke a unique mix of frustration and satisfaction, we delved into precision platformers to design a game that’s both engaging and unpredictable. Our core mechanic revolves around physics-based movement, ensuring that each action taken by the player is both deliberate and potentially surprising, with outcomes that can either aid or hinder progress. Gameplay Bouncing Over It features a single continuous level where players start at the bottom and must skillfully ascend to the top. The journey is fraught with precarious sections that can cause a misstep and send you tumbling down. However, falling doesn't mean game over – it simply means you have to find your way back up from where you fell. Controls Movement The staff moves by bouncing off surfaces. The force of the bounce depends on where the staff makes contact. Control The staff’s head follows the mouse cursor, determining the direction of its movements. Boost To gain a boost, you need to spin the staff five times to charge it. The staff will light up when charged, and you can activate the boost with a left-click in the opposite direction of where you want to go. Why You'll Love It If you enjoy games like Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, you'll find a kindred spirit in Bouncing Over It. The challenging yet rewarding gameplay is designed for those who appreciate the blend of skill, patience, and a touch of frustration. Are you ready to master the staff and conquer the mountain? The summit awaits.
