Bouncing Bomb Redux

The world's premiere perma-bouncing IED-based puzzler

Take control of a sentient bomb and bounce your way through twenty challenging and deadly levels on your way to the experimental reactor core (which has gone critical, as they do...!)

Destroy the reactor core to save humanity. Well, if "saving humanity" equates to blowing everyone up, that is.

Phil Ruston's classic, infuriating, brain-melting bouncer is finally here, presented for the first time on cassette by Bumfun software.

Bombs away!

Instructions

The fuse is lit, the clock is ticking and the countdown to the extinction of humanity is on!

As a sentient and particularly benevolent IED, sealed in a fantastically generic rubber "bomb shaped" housing, you have a rare gift rarely found in such devices in that you are fully able to move and decide in which direction to do so.

However, because of the generic rubber coasting you are forever bouncing up and down. It's only through strength of sheer will and explosive bloody mindedness that you're able to calm the bouncing ever so slightly.

Sleep is difficult.

However, now is not the time for sleeping as you must bounce your way through a myriad of levels in order to reach the experimental reactor core who, depending on how you look at things, may or may not be your father. That might wind up being a cliffhanger. Well, if the meeting does not result in a huge, catastrophic explosion (which it will).

The experimental reactor core is holding all of humanity hostage and threatening the very future of the human race (which you are not a part of)!

No humans are keen to go anywhere near it as it has warned them on numerous occasions. Rumours suggest human meddling may even be the cause of this current (and very unfortunate) situation.

Anyway, as far as you see it your only option is to take down the reactor core with a crippling explosion! This will do nothing but accelerate humanity's demise, of course, but that's not your primary concern.

At least you will die a hero.

In your own mind.

Control yourself through each stage avoiding the obstacles and picking up the flashing items in order to progress to the next area! Collect only the flashing items and, once collected, another item will begin to flash. That's your new target! Exit each stage through the door that opens once all items are collected.
