About Bounce Again

Bounce Again is inspired by some board games like Monopoly or Aeroplane Chess, while the movements in those games are decided by the Roll of the Dice instead of the player’s will.

They are usually tile-based, and different tiles have different functions (some are good and some are bad). I try to apply this random and uncontrollable system to a 2D Platformer, which brings me this game.Playing in the Browser

Thank you!

I actually really enjoyed the concept, but having the movement keys (presumably) set a velocity rather than apply a force made in-air controls really awkward.  The concept was accessible and the visual presentation was great, though.

Due to the time constraint I didn't think much about the way of movement (while I should). In the future I will be more careful. Thank you for the advice!
