Bounce 2

Bounce 2 was one of those games you'd find on a Flash gaming site in the late 2000s. It fit right in with the simple, physics-based puzzles that were common then. The game didn't make a big fuss about itself; it just loaded up and let you start drawing.

You control a cursor, using it to draw lines directly onto the screen. Your job is to keep a red ball from falling off the bottom. You sketch platforms, ramps, and barriers to bounce the ball upward and steer it toward a goal flag. The lines you draw have physics, so a slanted line becomes a ramp, and a straight one acts as a flat ledge. The challenge comes from managing the ball's momentum and drawing quickly before it drops. Some levels introduce moving obstacles or require precise angles. The pacing is steady, with a gradual increase in complexity that makes you think on your feet. It feels like a quiet test of foresight and quick doodling.
