Bouncy Dunk: one tap per bounce, one hoop to hit

Bouncy Dunk is a one-button basketball arcade game, listed by CrazyGames under the developer name GamePix, in which every tap makes the ball bounce and your aim is to drop it through the hoop. Balls arrive from different directions, so the work is judging the arc as each one closes on the rim and tapping at the right moment. A green bar spans the top of the screen during a run, with the basket count below it. Compared with the other basketball games on What Games Play, there is no aiming drag, no swipe and no player to move: Swipy Basketball and Street Ball Jam use a hold or swipe to set the shot, while Bouncy Dunk only asks when to bounce. Steady streaks turn the ball "HOT", and 24 different basketballs can be unlocked.

How to play Bouncy Dunk

The game shows a hoop on one side of a blue court and a ball that you keep in the air with taps. Each basket adds to the counter in the middle of the screen.

1
Tap to start
On the title screen, tap the ball marked "TAP!". Your best score is shown under it as BEST.
2
Watch the incoming ball
Balls come from different directions. Follow the path of each one as it moves toward the rim.
3
Bounce it in
Click or tap to make the ball bounce. Time it so the bounce carries the ball down through the hoop.

Keep the run going
Score basket after basket to build a streak. The pause button sits in the top-left corner if you need a break.

What sets Bouncy Dunk apart

One input, no aiming

There is no drag, swipe or power meter. The only choice you make is when to tap, which puts the whole game on timing.

Balls from changing sides

The ball does not always start in the same place. CrazyGames notes that it comes from different directions, so each shot needs a fresh read.

24 basketballs to collect

The ball button under the title opens your collection. GamePix and CrazyGames both give 24 as the number of balls you can unlock.

Go HOT on a streak

CrazyGames lists "Get on a streak and become HOT!" as a feature: a run of baskets changes the state of your ball.

Tips for Bouncy Dunk

Tap late rather than early. A bounce started too soon sends the ball over the rim; let it drop closer first.
Read the direction before you tap. Since balls arrive from different sides, check where this one is coming from before reusing the last rhythm.
Pause instead of rushing. The two-bar button in the top-left corner stops the run if you lose focus.
Protect your streak. The HOT state depends on consecutive baskets, so one careful shot beats two rushed ones.
Try a new ball after a good run. The ball menu on the title screen is where your unlocked basketballs appear.

Who is Bouncy Dunk for?

One-thumb players

The only control is a tap, so it works with one hand on a phone held upright.

High-score chasers

The title screen keeps your BEST score, giving each run a number to beat.

Collectors

Twenty-four unlockable basketballs give a longer goal than a single run.

Baskets, streaks and your best score

Each ball you bounce through the hoop adds one to the counter in the middle of the screen, and the title screen stores your best result. Consecutive baskets build a streak that makes the ball HOT, according to CrazyGames. GamePix adds that a streak earns coins you can spend on new balls. The sources do not give a points value for a HOT basket, so we do not claim one.
