Editor review
Spring Arc is a trajectory-arcade where you launch from springs and bounce through obstacle fields. Forty-eight courses across four bounce-physics themes.
What works is the trajectory preview. Each launch shows a faint predicted arc accounting for spring strength and obstacles. Skilled players read the preview and adjust.
Forty-eight courses with bounce-physics variation per theme. Some themes use rigid bounces; others use elastic dampening. The variety teaches different aspects of spring mechanics.
Tested over three Adelaide Botanic Garden afternoon sessions. Touch drag is the natural input. Mouse-drag also works.
Where the design earns its rating is the optimal-bounce challenge. Each course can be solved many ways; the optimal solution uses fewest bounces.
Where I would push back is the absence of a creator mode. The trajectory format suits user-designed bounce paths.
Three-and-a-half stars. Solid spring-bounce arcade with thoughtful trajectory preview.
