Play Bouncing Babies Online

Bouncing Babies is an arcade game released for MS-DOS in 1984. The player controls a two-person firefighter team tasked with rescuing infants from a burning building.

The player directs the team, which holds a combined stretcher that functions as a trampoline, to one of three positions beneath the building: left, middle, or right. The objective is to catch babies as they jump from the windows and bounce them safely into a waiting ambulance. Gameplay involves anticipating the trajectory of each falling infant based on its jumping angle and moving the team accordingly. As the game progresses, the number of babies increases and their descent becomes faster, requiring quicker reactions from the player.

The control scheme is simplified to three keys, each corresponding to one of the three team positions. This straightforward input system focuses the challenge on timing and prediction. The game's structure is based on continuous rounds of increasing difficulty, with the core loop revolving around catching successive waves of falling babies before any are missed.
