BOUNCING BALL

📜 Precision is everything. Timing is your only weapon. In front of you, the space becomes dynamic: from above, a sequence of balls is projected at a constant rhythm, sliding along treacherous diagonal trajectories. Your job is not to avoid them, nor to destroy them. Your job is to tame them. Over there, on the baseline, a mobile sensor oscillates constantly from right to left, relentlessly. It's your target. To pass the test, you must move your racket to intercept and slow the falling balls. Use impact to dampen their speed, reverse their trajectory, and send them back down. Time the bounce with pinpoint precision to ensure that the ball, changing its trajectory, hits the moving target at the exact moment it passes. Sharpen your reflexes, learn to time deflections, and maintain maximum concentration. Every successful rally increases your accuracy. The training session begins!

💻Press SELECT to start the game.  Hit the balls with the racket and make them change direction. Make them head towards the target. Don't let them go out of the playing field laterally or let them go off the target at the bottom. Every ball you lose decreases your energy. Don't think the game is boring if it seems slow at first. Once the fourth ball arrives and the target shrinks, things get really challenging. The game ends when you run out of energy. 10 POINTS for each small ball hit the target, 25 POINTS for each large ball hit the target.

🏆 I make games exclusively for the Atari 2600 and would like to get into the Guinness Book of Records as the single person/company to have made the most games for a single console. More than Atari itself. That's why I've set myself the goal of making at least 180. I'd like to do that by the end of the year.

🎮 The games I released last year (over 40) will be free to download forever, but to fund this endeavor, the ones released in 2026 will be available for the ridiculous price of $2 (not exactly everyone 😉). If you'd like to help, I'd be grateful.

👍🏻 You'll also find new releases on   Mastodon, Bluesky,  X ,   Facebook  and YouYube where you'd be welcome to leave a like.

🔨 I can make custom games for free for anyone who requests them (as long as they're within my capabilities). Email me at the address below.
