## Description
_KBounce_ is an arcade game with a puzzle element. The single-screen levels
are build of blocks, with walls around the inner field. The goal is to fill
75% of the inner fields with blocks. Creating blocks can be done by starting
either horizontal or vertical lines by clicking on a block in the field. From
the selected block and chosen direction, two new walls are growing until they
reach the next solid wall. But there is a problem: in the level there are
balls, moving and bouncing of each solid stone they encounter. If they hit a
growing wall, you loose a life and the created wall part vanishes. If they
however touch the head of a growing wall, the wall continues to grow and the
ball bounces of like it touched a wall. As the new wall is growing in two
directions from the selected spot (e.g. up and down for a vertical line), only
the part of the growing wall is consumed that was hit. This allows partial
construction of lines and building of separators in the level. If a line
finally reaches a wall and there is an closed area created with no ball
inside, that area is filled with new blocks.
Each level has an increasing amount of balls flying around. Starting with two
balls in level one, there are eleven balls in level ten. Also, the amount of
lives is no session counter, but set to the amount of balls in that level.
This means in higher levels there are always more lives available and those
can be used strategically to build partial constructions. There is also a time
limit, which is increasing with each level solved. You earn bonus points for
remaining lives and time at the end of a level. A high-score table can be
reached and saved. The player can chose from six different graphical tile sets
and the game difficulty can be set in three steps from “Easy” to “Hard”.
