Pounce is a casual physics based college football browser game.
A free, casual browser physics game.
Pounce is a physics puzzler built entirely out of Saturday football: an Angry Birds–shaped game wearing full SEC pads. You're the visiting kicker, launched off a goalpost crossbar into towers of wood, stone and glass, each one stacked with a defense of round, stubborn Grumps who have to come down before the clock does. Every stadium has its own sky, its own mascot standing where you throw from, and its own hand-built puzzle — sixteen of them, once per school, with a rivalry rematch waiting at the end of the road.
Pick a team from the pregame menu and the other fifteen rearrange themselves into your road schedule — same sixteen puzzles, relabeled around your pick. Play the whole slate once, then the season comes home for a title game against whoever actually keeps you up at night.
Whoever you choose stands on the goalpost and throws. Fifteen schools got a bespoke animal built from the ground up — same rig, same wind-up, sixteen very different animals — and LSU kept the tiger that started it all.
Grumps are the defense: round, stubborn, and built to squash flat and spring back when a football connects. No logos anywhere — every school is identifiable purely by colour and headgear, from Auburn's war feathers to Alabama's houndstooth to a tiger's own face paint when LSU is the team you're up against.
Nobody asked the wildlife to leave. Every stadium has its own cast of background critters ambling, flying or trotting past while you play — a tiger pacing the LSU sideline, a Georgia bulldog pup, a Texas A&M collie, an Auburn eagle riding the thermals — purely decorative, purely regional.
Every stadium got its own sky gradient, its own ground props and its own musical key — a levee and fireworks in Baton Rouge, a skyline behind the towers in Austin, cypress and moss in the Gainesville wetlands. Same slingshot, same goalpost, sixteen different Saturdays.
Every football that lands in your hands carries a random trick play — spend it mid-flight and watch the physics do something a normal kick never would.
Three directions that build on what's already built, not a wishlist that starts from zero.
