(Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung)

Indie game development studio JoyBits—best known for the iconic Doodle God franchise—announces the Steam Next Fest debut of the highly-anticipated Bouncemasters Demo, available now in the context of the Steam Next Fest until June 16, 2025. The full version is set to launch on Steam in Q3 2025.

Bouncemasters, published in partnership with Azur Games, marks JoyBits’ exciting next step in bringing their critically-acclaimed mobile experiences to PC audiences. Inspired by the legendary Yetisports flash game, Bouncemasters was a breakout sensation on mobile with over 300 million downloads and 500,000+ user reviews, and soared to global fame through viral YouTube videos with more than 100 million views. Now reimagined for PC, the game features fresh upgrades and improvements for both new and returning fans. JoyBits is committed to expanding its PC catalog and looks forward to delivering even more hit titles to Steam in future collaborations.

In Bouncemasters, players take on the role of a penguin desperate to escape the frozen monotony of the North Pole. Armed with a trusty bear companion and a wildly unconventional bat, the goal is to launch yourself into absurd adventures—from bouncing off seals to riding moose and even surfing on giant mushrooms. Each run is a chaotic and comical attempt to reach further distances, all in the name of fun and perhaps love.

Failure is part of the experience, and it’s intentionally hilarious. Whether you’re eaten by piranhas, stuck in a tree, or abducted by mysterious green aliens, the game thrives on spectacular and ridiculous mishaps. The challenge lies in pushing the limits—how far can you go before you meet another ridiculous end?

The game offers an array of upgradeable gear, from rocket-powered frying pans to over-the-top bats like the Eiffel Tower or a power glove. Players can unlock new launch tools, boost stats, and even break through the atmosphere into space. With endless replayability and global leaderboards, Bouncemasters invites players to become the ultimate penguin launcher—or at least die trying in spectacular style.
