This is one of the most strange and different games I’ve seen in a long time. Instead of shooting at the bad guys, you get a trampoline and a ball. Only 2 keys work, left and right arrows. There is no getting the ball higher cause there is a jump key or something, no here! The bad guys are standing on little blocks that are at staggered heights. To ‘get’ a bad guy you must hit him with the ball. [and don’t forget to watch out for spikes, they will kill your ball!] It’s easy to get the 2 or 3 guys real low, but the higher they go, the more you have to figure out a way to coax that ball up there without falling all the way to the ground. That doesn’t kill you, you, you just gotta try to get the ball back up where you had it. I know with practice, I will figure out how to get the highest ones, but right now they are sneering at me. You can even adjust the blood flow!

The shareware version comes with 3 levels, the registered version gives you Act 2 through 4, with a dozen levels.
