"Astro Bouncer" is a simple sci-Fi arcade game about the adventures of an astronaut in space. You jump and collect stars, and try not to get caught in the tentacles of an ancient monster
The game is pretty easy but for me a bit lame, thats why i only played till a while after i got all achievments.
The music and the style of the game was good.
When you want all achievments you have to play for a short while, they are very easy to get.
This whole process took me around 0.8 hours.
I bought it for 0.55€ on Sale and it was good for that price. But i dont know if i would buy it for the full price.
The game itself was fun, Try it out!

The title says it all, it's an adorable game about an astronaut who bounces between two sides of a cavern collecting stars and dodging aliens. Every 25 points the astronaut gets slightly faster and more spikes appear on the walls. The gameplay is simple, just press enter to make your astronaut use their backpack and avoid the ever increasing amount of monsters on the screen. It's a pretty basic but addicting and enjoyable game.

Astro Bouncer is a fun and short little Arcade game with lots of
stars to collect while you from wall to wall. But be careful,
some spiky tentacles are here to ruin the fun for you,
and your character's fragile balloon
body can't hold that much pressure!
It was fun for a while, but it gets very repetitive after some time.
Pros:
-Achievements: Very easy to get!
-Good time: Little time waster
Cons:
-Tentacles: The tentacle distribution on the walls are not
randomized, it has a sort of pattern and each time you slam your
little balloon boy against the wall the patterns will
either change or stay the same.
-Items/Collectibles: Stars, big stars and lives ARE
randomized, all based around luck for a great high score.
You either get a huge pile of big stars dropping from the sky or
one maybe more spiky balls next to each other.
Speaking of which...
-Big stars: Be honest, if you've played- and got all the
achievements; Did you run back and forth collecting the very last
few big stars, 20 of each? Yeah, I thought so too!
-Difficulty: After you collect 25 stars the pacing will slightly
change each time you do so. It's a very lazy way of making
it more of a challenge but it work, kind of.
-Controls: The only thing you press is the space bar,
very rarely pressing the space bar it
just stops for me for some reason,
maybeitsmyproblemwiththekeyboard
butIdon'tseeanyproblemwiththat
Also; if you cross somewhere above the screen area it just stops
you from boosting/jumping, which I get but also don't...
-Sound effects: Collecting stars could make a whole
"Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" melody for all we know, but BOY if
you're getting hit by spikes it's hilariously bad. It sounds like
either a cartoon character falling from spiral stairs
or someone's walking on activated charcoal.
Overall, just like the Developer described:
"If you do not know how to take your evening,
then this game is a great choice."
Just, don't spend the whole evening...
Take a break after 15 minutes or so.
Lean back in a leather chair, chew on cigar
and drink Scotch at the fireplace or something.
Make something great of your evening!

Flappy bird trapped between walls
Quite a good challenging, but stolen concept of flappy bird. Your astronaut is infinitely bouncing from wall to wall while dodging the randomly appearing sawblades from each side. Besides your main goal to survive as long as possible you must collect all kind of stars (the big ones are the rarest ones but give you a score of 5 pts). The game graphics and controls seem cheap. But they can be also solid in gameplay. Just sometimes they're appear to be unfair with sawspawns (full wall of sawblades, quick spawn of falling sawblades on top of the screen or even invisible sawblades on walls which makes you "ouch"). To improve the story I'd like to know more about the world grumpling from time to time - are you inside of a space monster's stomach ?
