Great Ball Bouncing Fun just got better!
Tap and move balls in a whole screenful to make lines, and watch them bounce out!
The classic Bounce Out gameplay, but now with super graphics, super sounds and even more bounce!
Bounce Out bounces back in this massive update to the classic original. Based on the enhanced Super Bounce Out from Gamehouse, the new PDA version will put the bounce back in your step!
Super Bounce Out Features:
Use an extractor program such as WinZip or Stuffit Expander to get at the Super Bounce Out files.
Install the game by double-clicking the .prc file, which opens the Palm Install Tool or Quick Install program.
If one is available, users with Palm OS® 5 devices may wish to install the music file as well. Double click on the .pdb file (or files, if there is more than one) to install it in the same way as installing the .prc file. Please note that not all Palm OS® 5 handhelds support music, for more information please refer to our knowledgebase here.
Use the HotSync button as usual to install the game onto your handheld. If you have a handheld with an expansion card, you can then move the game over to it. Do this before you register the game!
Now run Super Bounce Out and tap the screen to play the game!
If you've got any queries about Super Bounce Out or the registration process, first check out our knowledge base on our website (you must be connected to the internet to access this). If this doesn't help, get in touch with us at support@astraware.com. If you've got any questions (or suggestions, we love those) about the game itself, please get in touch with us at the email address at the top of this page.
The aim of Super Bounce Out is to match balls into lines of three or more diagonally or vertically by swapping pairs of balls.
Use the stylus to tap on the balls to select them. Once selected, the ball will glow until you select another ball with which to switch it. Tapping a selected ball deselects it.
Bounce balls out by arranging them in lines of three or more of the same color. You can swap any two balls that are touching, but at least one of the switched balls must form a line of three or more balls of the same color.
If it doesn't, the balls simply switch back to their original positions and you've only wasted time! You receive more points for bouncing out four, five or more balls at the same time. You also receive bonus points if other balls line up and bounce out in a chain reaction.
To move onto the next level of play, you must remove the number of balls indicated in the balls field before the time runs out on the fuse (in timed mode). Be careful - dynamite is powerful stuff! Upon completion of the level, the fun begins again.
When you tap the Panic button, a few balls will randomly bounce out of the board. You get only one chance per level to panic, so use it wisely!
Those ominous black balls are bad news. Can't click 'em, can't lick 'em! In an easy game if you run out of moves it's game over, in a timed game the blacks balls pop out allowing you to continue.
Always try to get matches closer to the top of the screen! This means that the black balls group closer together, making it easier. In the timed game, when there are no moves left, the black balls bounce out, allowing you to continue. If the black balls are grouped close together, it makes it more likely you will get "cascade" matches.
Making matches closer to the bottom will not help group the black balls together, but gives you a higher chance of getting cascade matches as the new balls move down.
In Demo form, you can play 10 games of Super Bounce Out for free, as you decide whether you like it or not. After these games are up, the program will display a short message reminding you to register each time you play!
If you beam a demo to someone else, and they also like the game, then they can register it either by purchasing a copy from a local store or by purchasing online.
For those that like the speed and convenience of buying via the internet, when you register for the game you'll get a code which will unlock the game and remain valid for future upgrades. Go to the web page at http://www.astraware.com/palm/superbounceout/ for more details.
You'll need to know your HotSync ID which you can find by running Super Bounce Out, opening the menus, and selecting the 'Register...' option. Your HotSync ID
will be filled in for you below.
When you register, Astraware will generate a key based on your ID, which will normally be sent out by email within 48 hours of registering.
When you receive your key, go to the same register option, and enter the key into the space provided.
