Bounder by Gremlin Graphics
Synopsis:
Sorry either we do not have an official synopsis for this title or one was never actually written by the game developer, this is particularly true in the case of game packages that have multiple titles in one box. If you own this game, have access to the synopsis (usually written on the back of the box) and would like to submit it to CPC Zone for inclusion on this page, please post on our forums.

Playing Instructions
Move Bounder (tennis ball) around screen, bouncing on hexagonal slabs only. If you miss, you fall to your death. Be sure to identify mountains and walls as you can't go over them, you must go around. Any collision means you lose a life.
As a rule: IF IT ISN'T HEXAGONAL, THEN AVOID IT!
These aliens destroy you:
BINOCULOIDS
STICKITS
MOSCITA BIRDS
CHOMPER DOMES
PTERRIES
COINS
EXOCETS
Useful aliens are:
TELEPORTS
JUMP
BONUSES
BONUS BUGS
COPYRIGHT CANS
MOVING PLATFORMS
Trial and error will help you identify which ones are which.
Slabs with arrows give you just over twice the time in the air. This allows you to make longer jumps, and if you feel inclined, a few fancy aerobatics! (Not recommended for beginners).
Slabs with question marks give you a mystery bonus. some good, some fair, but most of 'em bad. Careful planning and the use of a map are essential. Use the pause control to help you map the screens.
After each level, there is a bonus stage. Bounce on as many question marks as possible, clearing all question marks will earn you a bonus. Each jump unused adds to your bonus score.

"I have to admit, I really like this game... holds a difficult challenge and looks and plays well. I like the C64 version more, but the CPC version isn't that far behind."
