Net Yaroze Month: Bouncer 2

In Net Yaroze Month, we are playing every Net Yaroze game featured on the UK Official Playstation Magazine, and ranking them all in the order we liked them. You may have other opinions as to the ranking, which is awesome.

To learn more about Net Yaroze, read our introductory article here.


Bouncer is an arcade game very similar to Clowns / Circus, which in itself is very similar to Breakout. Though instead of using a bat and ball, you need to make two little guys jump about on a see-saw to hit blocks with their heads.

I’m a big sucker for breakout games, but Bouncer 2 didn’t gel with me unfortunately. Despite a few power-ups available in the game, I still found Bouncer 2 really frustrating to play (even on easy mode).
