Bouncers

Bouncers, an arcade basketball-themed game designed for Sega CD, presents a unique twist where the player embodies the basketball itself. The gameplay involves bouncing off other characters to reach the hoop, as the player-controlled ball cannot jump adequately high independently. It accommodates up to four players simultaneously, providing a roster of eight unique characters and various power-ups and power-downs impacting the character's speed and jump effectiveness. During the games, confrontations can emerge, permitting players to kick each other. Advanced skills such as slam dunking and three-point shooting can be mastered through practice.
