Rebound Rascals

About Rebound Rascals: Bouncy Monster Roguelite with Peg-Board Shots

Rebound Rascals is a bouncy monster roguelite where every shot ends in a big BONK. Aim at the peg board, release your marble, and watch it ricochet from peg to peg — each one it strikes adds damage before your monster hero hurls all that accumulated power at the cheeky rascals marching up the lane. The goal is simple and satisfying: bonk them before they bonk you first.

One scene shows a dark blue vertical board filled with a grid of small light blue circular dots and several gold coins. Another shows a green landscape with rolling hills and simple pill-shaped green towers beneath a light blue sky.

The game eases newcomers in gently: your first fight wraps up in seconds, and each new mechanic is introduced the moment it first appears. Gold pegs that convert an entire shot into a critical hit, red bombs that detonate against every rascal on the lane, a green peg that restores popped pegs to the board, and Chompy — who swallows your marble at the bottom so you get another shot — all show up naturally as you play.

A run spans three acts, with 17 rascals to face (three of them bosses), 12 marbles to collect, and 24 trinkets to stack. Stars earned across runs unlock new marbles, new trinkets, three additional heroes, and spicier difficulty levels. A Daily Dash refreshes every day with the same challenge for every player, and the Monsterpedia fills in with every rascal you encounter. Runs are saved after every turn, so stopping and returning is never a problem. Rebound Rascals is available in English, French, and Spanish.

How to Play Rebound Rascals: Beat Rascals Before They Reach Your Hero

The core objective is to defeat the rascals walking up the lane before they reach your monster hero. Each shot sends your marble bouncing through the peg board, and every peg it hits adds damage to the blow your hero delivers. Win fights, then pick a door on the path — options include a fight, a tough elite, a shop, a campfire, a treasure chest, or a mystery. Collect marbles and trinkets along the way, and bonk the boss waiting at the end of each of the three acts.

Peg Board Mechanics

• Gold pegs: turn the entire shot into a critical hit
• Red bombs: hit every rascal on the lane when triggered
• Green peg: brings popped pegs back to the board

Marbles and Trinkets

• Marbles that split, zap, burn, freeze, or roll through pegs fill your bag as you progress
