Arcade Mode Is Here: Walls, Streaks, and New Leaderboards

Bouncing Ball recently reached production, but development did not slow down.

The biggest update so far is the new Arcade mode, designed to make the game more welcoming without removing the original challenge.

Arcade introduces:

• Side-wall rebounds
• A five-step Clean Streak meter
• Bonus points for controlled bouncing
• New score animations
• A separate Arcade leaderboard

The original Endless experience is now called Hardcore, where there are no walls to save the ball and every bad angle can end the run.

Players can now choose between:

ARCADE
Wall rebounds • Clean streaks

HARDCORE
No walls • No streaks

Both modes have their own Google Play Games leaderboard, so every score competes under the correct rules.

This update was built from early player feedback, and I am continuing to test the scoring, animations, wall collisions, and different phone-screen sizes.

Bouncing Ball is available now on Google Play. More improvements are already on the way.
