Built for VR, Bounce Arcade is an all-new arcade pinball experience in a reimagined 3D universe.

In Bounce Arcade, players are transported inside the immersive environment of a pinball machine where they’ll use their hands as paddles to keep the ball in play and rack up as many points as they can. 

In Bounce Arcade, players are transported inside immersive 3D table arenas featuring classic pinball-inspired mechanics like rails and bumpers, along with new tricks and secrets to uncover. Players will start with a set number of balls, and using their paddles, they must keep the ball in play to rack up points while navigating thrilling level specific mechanics. In round progression unlocks mini games and events, and alters the gameplay to keep Bounce Arcade thrilling round after round.

The game keeps players on their toes as the difficulty can increase with multi-ball game play. Certain level events will cause multiple balls to be added to the environment which creates a period of more intense action. The player can use the paddles to deflect balls or use additional innovative control mechanics introduced in Bounce Arcade. Players can attract balls with a tractor beam and even control balls in mid-flight with the “lasso” mechanic to guide the ball to where they want. With the addition of these skill shots there is lots for the player to master, creating a ton of replayability.
