Dashbounce

Dashbounce is a 2D speedrunning puzzle-platformer about eight volunteers setting out to reset the Core of the World. The Core governs life, death, time and even the function of frozen dessert machines at fast food restaurants, but it is unreliable. The Bouncers, a mysterious and shrouded people, have maintained order around it for generations. Now the sun has stopped setting, crops have stopped growing, people can no longer jump and video ads cannot be skipped.

You race to each level’s goal before the clock runs out, using your speed and bouncy body to turn objects and obstacles to your advantage. You cannot jump, so reaching the goal means making deliberate use of physics quirks. Choose from eight characters and take on over 50 levels in the lighthearted adventure mode.

Challenges and levels

The game includes over 150 challenges, bonus levels to unlock and a level editor for creating your own stages. Custom levels are saved as small text files of a few kilobytes, making them easy to share.

Difficulty modes

Three difficulty modes offer different time-limit challenges:

• Easy: a more relaxed challenge, for players who prefer less pressure from a strict time limit.
• Normal: requires quick thinking to reach the goal in time.
• Hard: a demanding challenge for players seeking perfection.

Speedrunning

A dedicated speedrunning mode removes loading times and story events so you can focus on saving frames. Every level in the main adventure mode also records your best time, allowing you to pursue individual level records.
