How to play
Stay on the arena, BUMP everyone else off. Every player you knock off is a star. Fall off and you pop right back in.

Watch out for Chaos Events: low gravity, banana rain, a hot floor, gusts of wind and giant players. The screen tells you which one is coming a moment before it starts.
Questions
Do I need an account?
No. Just tap PLAY. Your stars and looks are saved on the device you play on. “Sign in with Google” (in MY BUMPLING → STATS) is optional and lets you keep them on more than one device. Kids: ask a grown-up first.
Can my child chat with strangers?
No. BUMP! has no text chat, voice chat or messages. Players can only send a few friendly picture emotes during a match.
Why are there ads?
The apps are free, and ads pay for the servers. Ads are family-safe and never personalised, and they never play during a match: only on the title screen, sometimes between matches, and when you choose to watch one to double your stars. The web game has no ads.
I lost my stars!
Progress is saved per device. If you cleared the browser's data or reinstalled the app without signing in, it starts fresh. Signing in with Google keeps progress safe next time.
Someone has a mean name, or is cheating.
Press the report button next to their name in the room lobby, on the results screen or on the TOP BUMPERS board, and pick a reason. We review every report.
The game is slow or laggy.
Open Settings and set GRAPHICS to LOW. Close other apps or tabs, and try Wi-Fi instead of mobile data. Keeping BUG REPORTS on helps us find and fix the problem.
How do I delete my profile?
MY BUMPLING → STATS → DELETE MY BUMPLING. More on the Delete account page.
