About Cloud Bounce Classic
Cloud Bounce Classic is an endless vertical jumper. A round yellow character bounces automatically, and your only job is to steer left and right so each landing finds a platform. Every bounce carries you higher, the camera follows upward, and the sky slowly darkens from daytime blue to a starry night as your altitude climbs.
This is the plain version of the idea, with ordinary platforms and no tricks, so it is easy to learn in seconds. Runs last between one and five minutes. A good run is a steady climb in which the gaps keep widening, and you still hit the middle of every platform without scrambling at the last moment.
How to play Cloud Bounce Classic
- Steer left or right while the character is in the air; there is no jump button.
- Land on top of a platform while falling to bounce back up.
- Use the screen edges to your advantage, because leaving one side brings you back on the other.
- Keep climbing; the camera only moves upward, so you cannot go back down.
- Avoid falling below the bottom of the screen, which ends the run.
Controls
| Keyboard and mouse | Hold the left or right arrow key, or A and D, to steer. The character wraps around when it leaves one side of the screen, and it jumps by itself. |
|---|---|
| Phone and tablet | Press and drag your finger on the screen; the character glides toward wherever your finger is horizontally. Lift your finger and it stops steering. |
Scoring
Your score is the highest height reached in metres, shown at the top as Height. A message and burst of confetti appear each time you pass another hundred metres. Platforms are placed further apart as your best height increases, so later metres demand more precise steering.
Tips and strategy
- Start moving toward the next platform while you are still on the way up. Waiting until you are falling leaves very little time to line up.
- Use the screen wrap for long sideways trips. If the next platform is near the far edge, going off the near edge can be quicker.
- Small, smooth steering beats big swings. The character eases toward your target speed, so tapping keys briefly gives finer control than holding them.
- Land near the middle of a platform. The landing zone is a little wider than the platform itself, but edge landings leave you no room to correct.
- Do not chase every platform. Pick the nearest one in your path and focus on that, then look for the next as you bounce.
Cloud Bounce Classic FAQ
▸Is there a way to jump higher?
No. Every landing gives the same bounce, so height comes only from reaching platform after platform. The only thing you control is where you steer.
▸What happens at the edges of the screen?
The character wraps around. Moving off the left edge brings you back in from the right, and the other way around, so you can use it as a shortcut.
▸Why do the platforms get farther apart?
The gap grows with your best height, starting small and reaching a maximum. After that point the difficulty stays steady, and the challenge becomes keeping your accuracy.
▸Can I climb back down if I miss?
No. The view only moves upward, and falling below the bottom of the screen ends the run, so keep your eyes on the platform below you.
