About Bounder (CPC/Spectrum)
Originally released in 1985, this unique platformer for home microcomputers from British developers Gremlin Graphics saw players take on the role of a constantly bouncing tennis ball, trying to make its way across a surreal landscape. Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version. Included are both the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC versions.
From a top down perspective, control the constantly bouncing tennis ball as the screen scrolls. Try not to fall off of the hexagon patterned floor sections. Land on special tiles to activate a number of effects, from a temporary glide, to teleportation, to a grab bag of bonuses or detriments.
This enhanced version introduces a number of modern features to this retro classic, including:

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
8/10 proof that speccy games rule. Sometimes. This is a very novel platformer that I am surprised did not start a genre. There was bounder 2 which was a kind of shooter but this type of game does not seem to have caught on. As such, it still comes across as novel. It always a very cruel game - it is VERY frustrating and the control system is as fudgey as the original speccy keyboards. It is a great game to drop in and out of and shows that kernel of playability is vital in gaming. One obersavtion about Pixel Games - no instructions. OK, this is quite a simple game but after having to return Avenger recentlky, they really need to think about the presentation of the games - not just the emulator.
despite the simple gameplay and control it take a bit to get used to regardless is defently a interesting and unique game lol
