How to Play Bouncemasters

Each level begins at the launching pad. Your penguin stands on top of an icy ledge with a telescope in hand while the polar bear waits below with his bat. Tap the screen to start the run, and the penguin will drop down toward the bear.

As the penguin falls, you'll see the "Tap to Bat" prompt. Tap at the right moment to have the bear swing and send the penguin flying. Timing matters because a well-timed hit launches the penguin higher and farther, which sets you up for success for the rest of your flight. A weak hit means a short run, so this first tap is the most important one of the round.

Keeping the Flight Going

As the penguin loses altitude and comes down toward the ground, watch for animals resting on the snow, like a big purple seal. When the penguin gets close, the "Tap to Bump" prompt appears. Tap at the right moment, and the animal will bounce the penguin back into the air, adding speed and distance to your run.

A short tutorial pop-up shows you exactly how it works: wait until the penguin is just above the animal, then tap. Nail the timing, and you'll see feedback like "Cool" flash on screen. Miss it, and the penguin skids to a stop, and the run ends.

The top of the screen keeps you updated as you fly:

• Distance counter (red badge) shows how far you've traveled in the current run.
• Best record (next to the crown icon) shows your all-time high score, so you always know the number you need to beat.
• Trophy bar fills up as you make progress toward your next goal.
• Coins and gems in the top right corner track your currency totals.

Beat your record, and a big "New High Score" banner celebrates the moment.

Collecting Coins and Gems

Fly through the golden paw coins scattered along your path, and grab the pink gems when you spot them. Coins come in clusters and columns, so a good flight line can rack them up fast. You'll also spot treasure chests on the ground along the way.

When your run ends, the "Get Flying Earnings" screen tallies up the coins you collected. You have two options:

• Collect the standard amount with the smaller button at the bottom.
• Watch a short video ad to double your earnings with the X2 button, which turns 648 coins into 1296, for example.

If you're saving up for upgrades, the X2 option is an easy way to speed things along.

Upgrades

An upgrade bar sits along the bottom of the screen back at the launch pad. This is where your coins go. There are four upgrades, and each one boosts a different part of your run:

• Power: Get stronger.
• Max Speed: Fly faster.
• Rebound: Bounce more.
• Beat Force: Launch better.

Each upgrade starts at level 1 and costs coins to improve, with prices climbing as you level up (for example, the first Beat Force upgrade costs 800 coins). Some upgrades are locked at the start, so you'll unlock them as you progress. There's also a gift box on the left side of the bar with free rewards to claim, so check it whenever you see the red notification badge.

After collecting your earnings, tap to continue, and you will see the progress map. Your penguin moves along a path across the frozen landscape, with your total distance marked by a red flag. Milestones along the route award prizes like trophies and gem bundles, so every run pushes you a little closer to the next reward. The row of trophies across the top shows how many goals you've completed so far.

Tips

A strong first hit does more for your distance than anything else, so practice that opening swing. The same goes for the taps when close to animals. Tapping too early is the most common mistake. Wait until the penguin is right on top of the animal before you tap.
