Yoomba is a great 2007 Atari 800 Game that honestly reminds me of that of the flash trilogy of games: RUN 1-3.

Here the point of the game is to use your ball to get to the other end of a level, your ball is able to go in a full circle above or below the course. However you have to be wary of separations in the course. Separations in a wide game in the course will cause you to use your limited number of super jumps. You see your ball bounces throughout the course in a simple small bounce while moving forward in a behind the back 3rd person/ball view. Sometimes these large gaps require you to use your super jumps, however if you are able to save your super jumps, then I suggest you do so as, in harder levels, it's better to use them later, as opposed to too early.

Yoomp! Feels both nostalgic to me as it reminds me of Run (even thought that was released in 2008), it's such a fun trial and error game I had a great time with!

Played on Atari 50.
