Browser Game Pick: Wonder Bounce (Darthlupi)
Wonder Bounce is Darthlupi's first foray into the world of Flash game development, where you play an apprentice named Ishmoo whose soul was separated from his body in an accident. Lost souls will try and possess the lifeless body of our protagonist, but you can keep them at bay by using the ancient art of Wonder Bounce learnt from the scroll that placed him in this situation in the first place.
There are only five levels to play in total. (source: David Scatliffe, forum thread)

Uh, what?
I thought Darthlupi DIED.
His website went poof (after his forums).
Besides, what's he doing not working on Velella? :3

Oh man, haven't heard anything about Darthlupi in a while.
This was pretty fun...it starts of slow but gets pretty fun and frantic as the levels go on.

great concept.
short, polished and really fun.
like a real good mix of skullpogo, space invaders and the passage in super mario bros 3 where you bounce on as many gombas as possible to gain many extra lives... ;)
bounce on!

I always loved Darthlupi's games. That is not exception.

Awww.... I was hoping he would stay with GM forever. I'm still waiting for his game Sword Fighter 0, which has been in progress for a couple years. Glad to see he still exists though, he's stayed away from the internet for some time.

This is bubble-bobbladictive, and not too long. Good little game.

Darthlupi didn't die, his sould was just temporarily separated from his body.

That's right this was why I was away from my keyboard. I was hoping the game would explain it all.
Thanks for the speedy review!

Awesomely addictive! Is there some information about how scoring works though? Is it just that you get a +1 for every enemy you jumped on without touching the floor? Because at some point it felt like I was getting 200+ points instantly but I was only at about +20 per enemy...
Anyways, what other stuff did Darthlupi do? *off to check his (hopefuly available) website*

Rotateme, I recommend you check "The Cleaner", "Legend of Shadow", "Raging Skies" and "MageCraft". Those would be his most popular titles. ;)
