Jump'n'Bump
This is my first (mini) review and my first post here on The Escapist, also english is not my native language so please be forgiving.
Right, now that my ego-shield is activated this review can start.
Jump'n'Bump is a game about four cute little bunnies: Dott, Jiffy, Fizz and Miji. Their sole purpose is to jump on each others head which results in a explosion of blood and gore. (IMHO teh bunnehs are escaped killer-bots pumped full of nitroglycerine with broken targeting systems... What? Explains everything...)
Anyway, this is a pure multiplayer platform game for up to 4 players on a single PC. Controls are easy enough. Up, down, left, right (arrow keys, WASD, mouse and joystick). Scoring is also simple: jump around, kill, get point, repeat. And... That's it.

Game comes with only one level, which is a good one, but there are fan-created levels available for download. Graphics are 2D nad look nice although a little dated. Also there are no options for sound or graphics directly in game. I did not encounter any bugs in the Windows version and it ran smoothly on my Windows XP SP2.
Game is available for MS-DOS, Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, GP32, BeOS, PlayStation 2, XBOX, RISC OS.
And now a little bit about history of the game from wikipedia (for those too lazy to click the link below and to make this review seem a bit longer):
"Jump 'n Bump is a 1998 freeware MS-DOS platform video game, written in C and Assembly language by Brainchild Design. The source code was released in 1999, and the game has since been ported to a number of other operating systems, with the release of a SDL version.
The graphics were made with Deluxe Paint 2 and Paint Shop Pro 5. The music was made with Fast Tracker 2."
Bottom line is that game is fun, freeware and it has killer bunnies!

PS: I do realise that it's quite short for a review but that's why I called it "mini" and there is not much to say about this game.
