About

Bumper.io is a single player casual sport game. It was developed by VOODOO and was released on August 7, 2018. It received mostly positive reviews from players.

"Bumper.io" is an action-packed game where players battle it out on a small arena, using their bumpers to knock opponents off the edge. Its humorously exaggerated physics and simple gameplay make it entertaining, but the experience is marred by frequent bugs and annoying ads. The game's tagline, "Bump them out," accurately captures the core mechanic of the game, as players aim to be the last one standing on the shrinking playing field.
