WHAT'S NEW

Every update, as it lands.

What changed on Bounce, newest first. Spotted something wrong, or missing? The rules say how everything works, and the bug button at the bottom of every page reaches us directly.

  2. A new look for Bounce

    The whole site, redrawn: a menu on the side, your wallet always in view, and a home that shows the arena at a glance.

    • NewA menu down the side of the screen with every page in four groups. On a phone it slides in from the tab bar.
    • NewYour balance and the Wallet button sit in the middle of the top bar, on every page.
    • NewA new home: your rank and how far the next one is, the tournament of the moment, the weekly race, every way to play as a tile, and the runs being played right now.
    • NewChallenge a friend from its own window: a friendly game, gems or SOL, sent to a friend or shared as a link.
    • ImprovedChoosing a match entry happens in a window that reminds you of your rank and rating, and says whether the match is ranked.
    • ImprovedNew colours and a new typeface across the site, compact page headers, and tables that are easier to scan.
    • ImprovedThe Classic board wears the new look too: slate, square bricks in the site's colours, a green aim and Figtree numbers.
    • ImprovedDaily gems, quests and cashback side by side, each with its button in the same place.
    • ImprovedThe welcome page joined the home: its old address takes you there.

  3. Badges, a theme for testers, and your say

    A thank-you to the players testing Bounce before it goes live, and a way to tell us what to fix next.

    • NewBeta tester and Founding player badges, shown beside your name on your profile and on the leaderboards.
    • NewBlueprint, a theme no one can buy: the board as it was drawn, with its own drafting-table sound. Every badge holder has it.
    • NewTwo quick questions after your fifth game: how likely you are to recommend Bounce, and one thing to fix or add.

  4. Ranked play

    Public SOL matches now move a rating, season by season, with the insignia to show for it.

    • NewRanked matches: win RR, lose RR. Beating a higher rank pays more, and a rout counts more than a narrow result.
    • NewFive placement matches before your rank shows, a three-loss shield after every promotion, and eight-week seasons.
    • NewBouncer: the fifty best players of the season, numbered by their place.
    • NewA full-screen celebration when you rank up, with its own fanfare.
    • NewThe ranked season on the leaderboard, and tournaments open to one band of ranks only.
    • ImprovedYour cashback now follows an account level that never goes down, whatever the season does to your rank.
    • ImprovedOn a computer the whole board fits the window at full size, with no scrolling to reach the bottom.

  5. Themes with scenes, and new rank insignia

    Every theme got a picture behind the board and a voice of its own.

    • NewEight new themes, and a scene behind the board for every theme on sale: skylines, aurora, a card table and more.
    • NewEvery rank redrawn as a bevelled metal insignia.
    • ImprovedEach theme sounds like itself, and every board stays easy to read.
    • ImprovedThe rules and the questions are now one page.

    • NewA shared result or replay carries your referral code, so friends who join through it count for you.
    • ImprovedStronger two-factor protection on withdrawals and large tips.

  7. Smoother money and tournaments

    Balances that only move when money really lands, and a tournament schedule you can page through.

    • ImprovedBalances update when money actually arrives, and gems fly to your balance when you claim them.
    • ImprovedThe tournament schedule shows a page at a time.
