"reviews": "“Bounder's main appeal lies with its excellent graphics and sound: they really are quite stunning. The landscape the errant tennis ball springs over is very pretty indeed though it can get confusing as to what's dangerous and what isn't. Bounder is very neat indeed - it's fairly addictive and both pretty to see and listen to.”<br>91% – Amtix! (June 1986)<br><br>“I’ve got to give it to Gremlin Graphics for originality — I have never seen a game like it before. Once you start off, bouncing all over the place, it becomes quite addictive, operating your ball and dodging low flying birds and other weird looking nasties. [...] Gameplay is quite fast so you don’t get bored: there’s no way this one can get monotonous. Bounder is a game I can recommend.”<br>90% – Crash! (June 1986)<br>",
