Bumper Isles in play

Hold to charge, then let go to dash the way your spinning arrow points and shove your rival into the sea. The island shrinks every round, its next strip ripples before it goes, and its shape changes between round, square, ring and twin isles. The first to five points wins, and against the bot you climb a five-rung ladder.

Controls

  • Left bumper: Space or W (against the bot any key or a held click or finger)
  • Right bumper: Up or Enter
  • Tablet: hold your half

Tips

  • A full charge takes 0.8 seconds and dashes at 1,000 units a second against 300 for a tap, so a quick tap nudges and a long hold shoves.
  • On the Ring isle the lagoon in the middle grows from nothing to 90 units over the round, so the centre stops being the safe place to wait.
  • The bot on rung 1 has no edge sense and can dash itself into the sea; from rung 2 up it turns back when the edge is near.

What happens when both bumpers fall in?

If both bumpers leave the island within 0.2 seconds of each other the round is a draw and nobody scores. Otherwise the one still standing takes the point. A bumper counts as fallen when its centre leaves the island, and the first to five points wins the match.

How fast does the island shrink?

It shrinks from a radius of 300 to 130 over 24 seconds, and a band of rings ripples across the strip that will go next, 2 seconds ahead. The shape rotates by round through Round, Square, Ring and Twin, the twin isles being joined by a sand bar.
