Two Button Bounce

About This Game

Two Button Bounce, created by Robert Alvarez, is an engaging puzzle platformer and an exciting update to the original One Button Bounce. In this game, you control two characters who are constantly running back and forth on platforms, working together to solve puzzles and reach the exit. One character must help the other grab a key or clear obstacles, emphasizing collaboration and timing. With minimalist graphics, smooth gameplay, and 20 clever levels, Two Button Bounce is perfect for puzzle enthusiasts, casual gamers, and players who enjoy cooperative challenges. You can play solo, controlling both characters, or team up with a friend for local two-player mode on the same device. Rated for ages six and up, it’s a family-friendly adventure that takes about 30 minutes to complete, offering satisfying brain teasers and replayable fun.

How to Play

Playing Two Button Bounce is simple but requires teamwork and timing. Here’s how it works:

• Control Two Characters: Each character runs back and forth automatically. Your job is to time their jumps to bounce off walls, reach keys, or clear obstacles.
• Jump to Solve Puzzles: Press the jump key for each character to navigate platforms, collect the key, and reach the exit. Only one character needs to reach the exit to pass the level.
• Collaborate: One character often needs to assist the other, such as standing on a switch to open a path or pushing an object to help the other reach the key.
• Single or Two-Player Mode: Play solo, controlling both characters (not simultaneously except in the final level), or with a friend in local two-player mode on the same device.
• Retry Freely: If you miss a jump or get stuck, retry the level instantly with no penalties. A hint system is available via ads in free versions or included in premium versions. The game has no time limit, allowing you to experiment with strategies. The 20 levels increase in complexity, with the final level requiring simultaneous control for an extra challenge.
