Bumper Dash

Flick a ball through a hazard maze, bouncing bumpers and dodging spikes.

Core mechanic

Flick left/right/up/down to dash a ball through a scrolling maze, racking up bumper combos and avoiding spikes.

Controls

Flick in four directions to dash the ball (one-thumb swipe).

Theme

Pinball-style dash maze pulled from Dungeon Baller's dash mechanic.

Why now

Dungeon Baller's dash (Q/W/E/S or flick on mobile) is its most novel input — extract that one mechanic for hypercasual.

Simplicity
8/10

5/10
