Thing Bounces Back [Gremlin Graphics]
by Chris Kerry, Colin Dooley, Shaun Hollingworth, Peter M. Harrap, Greg A. Holmes, Steve Kerry, Marco Duroe, Ben Daglish

A frantic hyperplatformer, superbly done, with superfast scrolling and movements, smooth animation, coloured graphics and a very nice tune. It's even playable, although a bit repetitive and you can easily get stuck. Jump around a big area full of platforms and tubes looking for four objects that you need to stop the evil toys producing factory. Technically excellent cute stuff, programmed by 45 programmers and a half, Your Sinclair Megame, sequel of a game never appeared on the Spectrum.
3,5/5

It looks good but indeed it's frantic and probably too frantic for my taste. Getting stuck didn't help matters much either.

This game to me always seemed a mess. I know I 'm not playing it correctly, but still why is it so confusing?
A lot of people were envolved with the game, that could mean that at least the game would be a little more player friendly.
Like I said before I dont know how to play it properly so I cant give an accurate review. To me the game just looks and plays like a messy nightmare.
