Bouncing Bill

Bouncing Bill is a 1-player arcade game for the BBC Micro.

The player controls Bouncing Bill, who tries to reach the top of a series of moving platforms to pick fruit for his beloved damsel in distress. Bill can move left, right, or jump vertically. Balloons float up from the bottom of the screen, and these can be collected for bonus points. The player receives 5 points for moving up a level, but loses 10 points for falling down a level. Ghosts float down from the top of the screen. These cost the player a life if they touch or come near the player. The player also loses a life if they fall onto the bottom row of the screen.
