REBOUNDAUSTRALIA
Notes from the trajectory desk
Guides, design postmortems and season reports — written by the team and the sharpest minds in the AU community. Ten dispatches and counting.
The geometry of the perfect rebound
Angle in equals angle out — until it doesn't. A field guide to the physics the game actually runs.
Every surface in Rebound obeys one law, then bends it. Timber shaves momentum, ice preserves it, portals teleport it whole. This piece breaks down the reflection model chamber by chamber — with the math kept friendly and the diagrams kept honest.
Every dispatch
Every trap, ranked by cruelty
Pendulums to polarity gates — the definitive tier list nobody asked the studio to publish.
