1. Be aware to platforms with color. You need to watch out for the colored platforms. Actually you will see that most platforms are black but there are some which is different from the typical platforms which corresponds with different behavior. There are yellow platforms which drop once you collide with them from any angle and Blue platform which drift right or left. Keep in mind that once the platforms start moving, they are still considered platforms meaning you can still do some jump from them if you wish to.
2. You need to pass through all the gates. This is a good practice as you will acquire point for every turquoise gate you pass through. Basically they are horizontally lined, but the sometimes you will get it vertically which means there is a chance you might pass one up if you are not paying attention on it. Just keep a look out to ensure that you are going to take advantage on this point.
3. Take your time in playing Bounce. This is actually a rule of thumb here since there is no time limit in this game so you can take you time with your jumps. I believe that this is kind of boring as you wish to complete your jump in faster time but if you just started playing the game, it is better to take time and analyze your situation before doing some jump not unless you have some platforms moving around below you or you find some hazards in the way. Actually in this game most deaths came from mistimed jump and rush moves.
4. Get some power ups. If you are dealing with difficult stages, you can use power ups to aid you in your gameplay as this can make your bouncing life a lot easier. There are some points that the game even require you to grab as they will be in fixed locations. Power ups come in different variation but as an added note, keep in mind that they might not always be suitable based on your current situation. They come in Spring, Speed, and Shield. For spring, this power up will boost your jump strength by putting some little spring in your jump. You can use this to pass by dangerous hazards or for you to gain some extra ground. Speed powers comes into two different type, speed up and speed down. You will see a down arrow for speed down and up arrow for speed up. From the name itself we believe that you already understand what this boost all about. In terms of speed this affect your jump, rotating or moving platform or even death spikes. And for the slow down boost, will let your jumps timing become easier while the speed up might do the opposite while there are some players especially if they want to master the harmony between jumping and timing they are willing to go for speed. The key here is to understand your capability and go which suits to your gameplay. And lastly for Shield power up, this will correspond with lightning bolt power up which temporarily turns your ball pink. In this state, hazards won’t affect you and you can even break the pink boxes with the circles in them.
