Bounder’s World is a re-imagined version of the classic ball-bouncing puzzle game Bounder, with smooth, easy-to-play motion controls, gorgeous 3D graphics, a catchy soundtrack and utterly addictive “one-more-go” gameplay. Your challenge is to simply bounce Bounder from the start line to the finish line, collecting stars, landing on targets, destroying buildings and collecting bonuses – all while avoiding nasty traps and vertigo-inducing falls!
TouchGen: I have an immediate question about this game. You play as a yellow tennis ball where the aim is to jump across the rooftops of city buildings and other similar levels. Am I missing something here, or isn’t it obvious this game should be called ‘Bouncer’s World’?
Touch Arcade: For fans of classic PC gaming, the name Bounder’s World [99¢ / HD] may sound familiar. Indeed, the tilt-controlled game is an updated version of Bounder, a Commodore 64 game released in 1985 that had you control a tennis ball as it navigated a multitude of levels. The premise remains intact in Bounder’s World, but everything from the 2.5D viewpoint and graphics (and the humanization of the tennis ball) to the accelerometer-based controls are certainly a change. While I can’t affirmatively state that Bounder’s World manages to keep the essence of its spiritual predecessor intact, I can say that it’s certainly a solid tilt-based action title with a few shortcomings.
