One Shot Bounce is live

One Shot Bounce is live — and this one isn’t a slot machine. It’s a bounce game, and it plays right in your browser. No downloads, no sign-up: open the page and fire.

The idea is simple. You get five balls a game and one shot with each. Aim with the arrow buttons, set the power, and tap FIRE — the yellow line shows exactly where the ball will launch. After that there are no paddles and no steering: it bounces off bumpers and pegs until it drains, and wherever it’s been is your score.

The bumpers pay 10, 25 and 50 points and the star up top pays 100. The board is random for every ball, and bumpers shrink after 75 hits in a game, so the board you finish on isn’t the one you started on. Give it a run: play One Shot Bounce.

The slot machines are still over on the Slot Machines page — this one just isn’t one of them.
