Rebound Tycoon

You are the night-shift guard on gate 01. Hold the hose until the pressure builds, let go, and the jet launches. Every rebound off an intercom soaks somebody who should not be there — a courier, a raccoon, floor six at 3 a.m. — and every soaking pays rent.

How to play

Hold Space or tap PUMP HOSE to build pressure, then release to launch. Steer the rebound with the left and right flippers. The longer a combo runs without the jet dying, the more each hit pays. A night is short on purpose — a few minutes — because the run is meant to be restarted.

The ledger, and what to buy first

Coins go into the LEDGER, which splits into four columns: Table, Staff, Property and Amenities. Table upgrades — plunger springs, gold flippers — make the current night pay more immediately. Property is the slower compounding buy that carries across nights. Early on, table beats property; once you clear the booth era, that flips.

Eras: booth, lobby, towers, neon empire

The gate progresses through four eras. You start in the Booth with one intercom and a tip jar. The Lobby adds late fees. Towers add the penthouse intercom and its bonus. The Neon Empire is the end state, and hitting every intercom in one run pays the jackpot rent.

Prestige: when to rebound

REBOUND resets the table and keeps your tokens. It unlocks once you reach the lobby era and earn a token. Tokens buy perks that persist across every future night, so the question is never whether to prestige but how late — one more era of a slow night is usually worth less than the token that shortens every night after it.
