How to play Gear Bounce
- Press Start. The bolt sits on your wrench until you launch it.
- Tap the screen or press Space to launch. Slide your finger, move the mouse or use the arrow keys to steer the wrench.
- Hit the bolt with the edge of the wrench to send it off at a sharper angle.
- Copper cogs break in one hit. Brass cogs crack first and need a second hit.
- Teal drive cogs pass the knock on: when one breaks, every cog touching it takes a hit too.
- You have three wrenches. Clear every cog to move on, and spare wrenches earn a bonus.

About the game
Gear Bounce is our take on the classic paddle-and-ball idea, set in a busy little workshop. Instead of flat bricks you face round, turning cogs, so the bolt glances off them at angles you have to read rather than guess. The five layouts were drawn by hand, from a simple workshop floor to a clock face and a night-watch owl, and each one has a different mix of brass and teal parts. The teal drive cogs are the fun bit: break one in the right place and it sets off a small chain of knocks across the board. Your best score is kept on your own device.
