60 of 69 · most liked firstLittle Old School With a Bit of Something Different Yeah this game is for those that liked old games from the past with a twist. The game plays like a old Space Invaders but has a twist with Platform mechanics . The game is very Bullet Hell and can be very challenging. The game has very old school vibrant look and runs pretty slick. The games soundtrack is good enuf to enjoy as you play. The Boss Battles are pretty neat and challenging also with so much going on! I say if you like old school…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hyper Bounce Blast is the latest game from Flump Studios, which you may have heard of from their successful titles, such as Horizon Shift. Always faithful to the genre, Hyper Bounce Blast is a sweet and delicious homage to the 80-90's Shm'up wave, and it succeeds wonderfully in offering unique gameplay mechanics. You're controlling a bouncing ship with the ability to wall jump and bounce on the ennemies. As long as you're in the air, you're entirely invincible from every form of threat. But…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Target Audience: SHMUP fans wanting an alternative experience. Summary: If you're looking for the same old same old from the SHMUP experience, you can look away from Hyper Bounce Blast. Just like Horizon Shift, it makes a small twist in the genre by adding a platforming mechanic, and that mechanic is well implemented in terms of gameplay. There's something satisfying to bouncing from enemy to enemy while shooting everything in site. And this core gameplay feels fresh in the genre, even if…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →disclaimer I was a Beta tester Im having so much fun with this,Even though the games short it has a lot of replay value. It has words explaining how to play hyper bounce blast. hyper bounce blast is very unique to the genres shoot em up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →grab it on sale, not much to do in this game. 4/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was really surpirsed by this game. Its a very interesting premise that combines platforming, shump bullet hell, and intense colours. And it works, its a lot of fun to play, easy to learn and difficult to master.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please NOTE:I did receive the game by the Developer.. Great arcade stylish game! All you do is hold on the fire button, move around, and jump on the blue disk for multipliers which will also let you absorbed bullets for a small amount of time. Enjoyed the boss fights. Boss fights you can fight him straight on or hit the blue disk trying to get extra damage on him. Soundtrack actually goes really well with the game. After the 9th wave the game becomes a huge cluster mess!! Pros -Boss battles…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a very creative, simple gameplay for everyone to enjoy. it is not too hard for new gameplayers to enjoy or to get the hang of it. I liked that there are different options, music and the fact that it has simple controls. i also liked how bright the game is. the only thing i kind of disliked is the fact in some levels it can be very confusing, but maybe this is just me :D Game Play: 7/10 - consdering i play 15minutes of it the first time round Graphics: 8.5/10 Overall: 15.5/20
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Funny and creative game :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hyper Bounce Blast is a game that I recommend because: - is a method to banish boredom - it has a good price - it has action - it is indie - it has trading cards Enjoy!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A 2D shmup where Mario jumping meets Jeff Minter-esque shooting. It also feels a like a rhythm action title with the bouncing to the music whilst shooting. It shouldn't work in practice but the Devs have pulled it off in a playable slick package. Great!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While it may look simple, Hyper Bounce Blast offers a wildly addictive gameplay mechanic that sees players bouncing off walls and jumping on enemies. It's a clever gimmick that is unlike any other shoot-em-up I've seen before and is worth the price of admission alone. That said, the 30 stages are over too soon and I wish there were more power-ups to play around with. But even though it never fully reaches its potential, Hyper Bounce Blast is a fun and unique 2D shooter.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A shmup with a twist: shoot the reds and avoid their fire as you try to bounce off the blues to gain a shield and rack up bonuses. And don't forget to destroy the greens for extra points while you're at it. Yes, it does get a wee bit hectic. All in glorious 80s inspired neon and laser art.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worst platformer/shooter I've played in ages. This game gets it all wrong. Gamepad controls can't be configured and the configuration is badly chosen. Rules are poorly explained, complex and not any fun. And finally, after only a few minutes of gameplay, when I tried to restart from the first level in classic mode the game locked up on me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Their hasn't been a Flump Studios Video game i did'nt like. their like the Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's of Old school games. Even their bad games are fun. Really their aren't bad games. i have ownd them all. love them all.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you like bullet hell shoot em ups and platforming? Well you should check out Hyper Bounce Blast. The creators of Horizon Shift, Flump Studios are back again for some adrenline pumping action. If you played Horizon Shift, you will definitely fall in love with this game as well, with great gameplay modes, great graphics, and easy controls. A leaderboard can also be found, where you can see if you can get the highest game score. Hyper Bounce Blast is addicting, tough, and fun! I did a full…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hyper bounce blast isn't an easy game, if you're used to the games of the same developer, you know what I'm talking about. The game's a 'bullet rain simulator', as bouncing basically makes you invincible from everything, so you understand that touching the ground geanerally means instadeath. Gameplay is super fast, music is not bad, visuals are nice (framerate isn't super smooth tho), and skill is really all you need to beat the game. I know this kind of game isn't for every gamer, so I'd say…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Flump Studios contacted me and asked me to review/spotlight the game on my channel. First of all, let me state that Flump Studios is incredibly humble, kind and generous. Second, this game is absolutely genius in so many different ways. Find out more info in the quick video I did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUwJm69DcVU&feature=gp-n-y&google_comment_id=z13det2hnsbyyl0sl225txri2uetzjpr504 1.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hyper Bounce Blast is a sort of follow up to Horizon Shift, as in it's an another game that puts an another new twist on the classic arcade shooter genre. Now Horizon Shift was a cool game however I felt confused by it's mechanics at times (probably my own fault because i'm not that used to crazy mechanics) however this game is a completely different story. HBB's main mechanic is as expected, bouncing! You bounce off blue platforms and enemies and while you are in the air bouncing, you cannot…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another great Shooter, unique and with a great soundtrack Highly recommend! And the Bonus stage just makes me smile :) Great game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really addictive and fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing little shooter, and way better than Flump's other, admittedly fun, games. It's fast, frentic, strategic and brings a nice little twist to the genre. So, again, a lot like Flump's other games. Don't hesitate, snap it up. It's a real steal at this price. You can also check out my impressions on the discussions board! http://steamcommunity.com/app/407940/discussions/0/357284767241159919/
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game by Flump Studios is even wackier than previous! Maybe it's not exactly the kind of games I like, but it's well made game, with pretty decent soundtrack. It may be a little to hard on me and achievements are really a deal to get them all. Comparing to Horizon Shift (starting screen includes the same options :D), this game features: - single jump, but includes walljumping and jumping on enemies (blue) - mouse pointed (or analog stick) aiming -> crosshair - generating shield, as result…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played a couple of games from FlumpyStudiosUK so I was prepared for how inovative they can be with their games, but this game blew me away. It manages to blend to types of classic games into one and they did an amazing job with it. Not only is it a fixed shooter but it is also a platformer. That is just awesome! Imagine Mario and Space Invaders had a baby. That baby is this game. There are times when you will have hordes of enemies decending upon you firing massive amounts of slow…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disclaimer - Developer submitted me a free key for the game for review purposes. Hyper Bounce blast is an interesting take on the Shmup genre. By combining it with elements of platform games and puzzle games, Hyper Bounce Blast is a unique, if unimpressive shooter. The idea is to shoot the red enemies, and jump on the blue enemies while collecting fragments that the red ships leave behind. Once you've gained a plethora of these fragments, the aim is to "bank" the points by jumping to the top…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Hyper fast paced Shooter, with Retro style neon graphics, set to a Musical Melee! Face the Bullet Hell Storm and keep Bouncing on the Blue nuetral/enemies and you're indestructable! This game is REALLY fun! It has that retro arcade shooter appeal but the bounce mechanic adds a level of intensity that you just can't describe until you play it! It's definitely worth the cost. CHECK OUT MY REVIEW VID! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C57PZPAK1M&index=4&list=UUxjgXmU3z_4gYORnpjFmi2w
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bega huge SHMUP fan i try my best to check out all shooter releases on steam, and this one from the artwork and trailers looked pretty cool however it's a Twin Stick shooter and being oldschool myself i prefer to play with an Arcade Stick however i was pleasently surprised that the dev included an arcade stick control method in the options but it is a lot harder to master playing it that way so i did resort back to pad and twin stick, and i gotta say its a lot of fun. The Bounce mechanic is a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok at first when i got email asking me to reaview this game i thoguh "oh no another developer trying to promote his game" but then i though to give it a try and it was actually damn fun , from amazing challenge to great visuals the game seem to entertain the f*ck out of me . So yeah i decided to make a Gaming Spotlight episode after all :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1sSN8emIpw
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Overall, Hyper Bounce Blast is an amazingly fun experience that should be picked up by gamers that like a bit of a challenge from their shooters. The bounce mechanic offers something a bit different that also adds a whole new layer to this kind of game. Much like Horizon Shift, we definitely recommend Hyper Bounce Blast." http://attackongaming.com/original-articles/hyper-bounce-blast-review/
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a really fun game! Super Fun to play! Get those High Scores and Feel like a Super Pro all while dodging tons of Projectiles!!! If your looking for some fun then check out Hyper Bounce Blast! You won't be disappointed!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MHuXbknmG0
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun static screen, bullet hell, platformer, arcade, scoregasm title! This game is a static screen shmup with a twist. That twist is the ability to jump up onto some enemies to boost your score and becoming invulnerable to bullets in the process. This may be the most entertaining mechanic in any game I've ever played. It'll take some time to nail down your platform movement while still hitting your targets, but once you get on point you feel like a legit boss! Hyper Bounce Blast has tons of…

I did to a series on it, starting today, which you can check out right here! https://youtu.be/DYFecer5yrA The series will be 8 episodes long, playing and going over each game mode, and taking some Hi-Scores on the leaderboard! Hope you all enjoy this game as much as I did!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely love this game to bits. Played a lot of Geometry Wars on my DS many years ago and this gave me a similar vibe aestheically, but I kindof expected a clone when I first played it. I was really wrong though, the mixture of the platforming makes it feel really fluid, and the mass of bullets around you becomes a blur as you bounce around then land and suddenly realise how massively screwed you are. Play. This. Games. Forreal. I saw this game on insomnia first and the guy gave me a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recorded a video for this game. I had great fun for it. It was unique and speical. Defo worth buying for those who are reading the reviews. I was offered this game on my Youtube channel to give it a review. It was great fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNVTxc0yKWQ
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hyper Bounce Blast is a fun SHMUP Platformer. The game has simple controls to play which are hard to master. The main thing to remind yourself while playing is that bouncing is life, never stop bouncing. After beating Arcade classic, the player has the option to make the game more difficult by changing the settings of the game or playing one of the different modes. This adds more replayability to the game and allowed for some fun experimentation of how different the game can be given the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cool and creative twin-stick shoot 'em up with platforming elements. If you are a fan of bullet hell shooters or if you like good games in general, you might want to check this one out. The elaborate scoring system makes it a fantastic arcade game that you can sink countless hours into. The developer is also very helpful and fixed a problem I had with the controls right away.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I always look forward to trying out a new Flump Studios shooter -- look forward to, and dead. I dread having my fragile mind blasted into tiny mewling fragments while trying to come to grips with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crazy mechanics I come to expect from these games. Flump Studios' games always demand your brain be running on more than one core. You're gonna need those extra threads to handle all the bizarre, out of context, new and fresh tasks they relentlessly pummel you with. Hyper Bounce Blast is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game.. OMG This game. Take bullet hell, take arcade style shooter, taking bounce chain mechanic from Mario, and some wall jumping, mix it all together and you get this greatness! The gameplay seems simple but it's actually fairly difficult and that's what makes it addicting. I don't know about anyone else but it is SUPER satisfying to bounce through a whole level. And when you die when you're decently far, you just have to play again! So much fun!! Soundtrack is upbeat and goes very well…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Once I got the hang of this, I really started to enjoy it! I was alittle upset there's no way to map the jump button to something you want on a gamepad, the 3 presets just don't do it for me, jumping with r trigger isn't very natural . Aside of that, I love the progression, the checkpoints, and the unique bosses ^^ Very much recommend this to players that enjoy shoot em ups, but are looking for a unique twist to a stale format ^^
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another sterling effort from Flump Studios. As an old-school gamer, I alwys value playability over any kind of story. This title, much like the previously released Horizon Shift, epitomises how a progressive, balanced and well implemented set of gameplay mechanics can take a genre like the humble shmup and bring it bang up to date. After 5 waves, i was interested... After 10 waves, i was hooked! Invest your time into learning the stages and see your scores increase almost exponentially. Soon…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥ thats fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It have the worst dexterity and I'm terrible at it, but Hyper Bounce Blast feels less like a traditional schmup and more like an expansion of Undertale's brilliant bulletboard soul modes - developing the engaging platforming/collecting/avoiding dynamic and throwing more stuff on the screen that you can comfortably deal with. I have a really strange itch to keep playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game again from Flump studios. The platforming and Shmup genres actually go really well together and it makes for a frantic balance of trying to jump up and get the massive scores while still trying to stay alive. It really adds another dimension to the game. If you're looking for some crazy Shmup action, this is the game for you. Not to mention the sound track is pretty cool!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun twin-shooter that reminds you that bouncing is a blast. A definite recommend to shmup fans ^_^ https://youtu.be/m_jzjYHVao4
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fast-paced arcade action; shoot and jump, avoid the bullets until you can aborb them, and get the highest chain you can. Simple gameplay with a little bit of challenge and strategy. Feels like my childhood ... especially if you can make it to the bonus round.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hyper Bounce Blast is a fast-paced arcade shooter that thrives on constant motion, precision, and controlled chaos, delivering an experience that feels both nostalgic and mechanically inventive. Developed by Flump Studios and published by Funbox Media Ltd, the game takes familiar shoot-’em-up foundations and rebuilds them around a single, defining mechanic: bouncing. Rather than running freely across an arena, players are perpetually propelled upward, turning vertical movement into both a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Leaderboards are completely broken, yielding a wall of error text, and the game doesn't support a local scoreboard - so you can't easily keep track of your personal bests.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I seem to be too old to play such a great game. Hyper Bounce Blast requires really gud reflexes. Dodging and shooting of the incoming enemies. Sort of like a classic Shoot Em Up Arcade game. But It's not just that shooting and dodging here. There's also a jumping ability to spice things up. At some points you gotta stay airborn and such. Which is quite difficult with all the bullets flying. Bouncing on enemies gives you score multiplier. And overall, It's just a really fun retro styled fun. My…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of those games which has a simple premise but you want to keep going to both beat the escalating challenges and get a high score. Has the feel of a retro arcade game, so if you like those kind of games you'll have fun with Hyper Bounce Blast
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A strange 2D Shooter with a weird bounce mechanic.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fairly short, but very fun with an incredible soundtrack!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An interesting mix of a shoot 'em up and a kind of a platformer, Hyper is a decent game to play. It's only real problems are its horrible text gradients and menu design, overly active backgrounds and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of sound that causes audio dropouts regularly because the game was trying to play too much at once. It's oddly over designed in those areas and needs to be trimmed down a bit.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a fun game, but the leaderboards are broken and there's no way to save scores locally as far to my knowledge. To me that's a crippling flaw with any arcade game on Steam and because of this, I can't recommend the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hyper Bounce Blast combines the gameplay styles for twin stick shooters with platformers. It has a neon-like futuristic graphical style and has a high-octane sound track. It's a challenging game where the player has to get to grips with shooting enemies coming from all directions while jumping platforms and dodging more enemies and that is just on the first few levels. This game is great for having a casual game but it will leave you with sweaty palms and ringing ears. Definitely a high for…
