"Bounce Ball" is a physics-based puzzle game where players navigate a ball through levels by placing angled blocks to deflect it. The ball's color must match the level's color when passing through the finish, with color orbs present on each level to change its color. Colors mix to form secondary colors, adding an extra layer of challenge. The objective is to get the ball through the finish opening, which may not be easy to reach.

The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for their low quality, featuring untextured, low-polygon assets that resemble early 1990s 3D games. Reviewers note the absence of resolution and graphics customization options, which further detracts from the experience, suggesting that the minimalist design is a cover for a lack of effort and talent from the developers.
“There's no option to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
“There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality graphics.”
“The lack of textures is a method that lazy developers often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to pass it off as 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose', which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with.”
