About Bouncing Bug
Bouncing Bug is a classic avoid and collect game where you are a lonely and greedy fly that wants to get all the gold it can find... But avoid the bigger flies that are orbiting around! With the coins you collect, you can buy new skins. Make the best highscore and show the world who is the best fly out there.
How to play Bouncing Bug
There is no tutorial to sit through — the game explains itself. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.
