Bouncy Balls

A game by Johan Åstrand, Kim Nordström and Robert Györvari, published in Commodore Zone Issue #04 (March/April 1996). Bouncy Balls is a game for a maximum of 3 players (simultaneously), in which it's all about absorbing the opponent's energy by means of targeted jumps -on- in order to be able to jump even higher. You win a level either by throwing all enemies off the screen with skillful jumps, or by reaching maximum energy yourself and being able to leave the screen in the same direction, regardless of how many enemies are left.
