If you are patient enough you can enjoy Jumper a lot !!
To me it looks like a sequel of Bugaboo -the Spanish masterpiece- , but with an Italian protagonist this time : a black sausage with two legs .
Your goal is to jump over the obstacles avoiding the deadly eggs that fall from above ... cute, isn´t it ? ;D
The game is not as simple as it seems at first instance , but I haven´t played it long enough to give you a complete analysis .
3,5 out of 5 for this little Jumper .

This indeed interesting. The game collects elements from early games such as 'Bugaboo' or 'Frank the Flea' and adds some freshness with the jumping routine. This last feature is the complex part of the game. You must set you jump level to each obstacule ahead and still keep clear of the birds eggs flying around. Its not as easy as it may seem. The colourful funny looking graphics are also a must for any early spectrum owner.
Jumper is no masterpiece by any means, but this curious game makes a stand of its own (well, a jump, in fact!)
