E3: Team Phobic’s ‘Bounce On’ World 4, and ‘Bounce On 2’ Coming

bounceonworld4I had the pleasure of meeting with iPhone developers Team Phobic at E3 this week. Team Phobic is a small development group based out of Boulder, Colorado that is responsible for iTD, Bounce On and, most recently, Micro Mayhem. Team Phobic is also a very active member of TouchArcade’s forum community.

Bounce On seems to be their flagship product and they’ve continued to pour in massive amounts of effort to provide additional content to their iPhone platformer. While we took an early look at the game back in December, the developers have since added 3 additional “worlds" as free upgrades. The latest World 4 update was released just yesterday and brings a great new look as well as a number of new features to the platformer.

World 4 (Mystic Oasis) offers a number of nice new gameplay elements:

  • Speed ball power-up
  • 16 new levels
  • New enemy
  • Traps
  • Physics puzzles
  • Boss level

This gameplay shows many of the new elements from World 4 as played by one of the members of Team Phobic — so be warned, it’s really not as easy as he makes it look:

So, if you passed up Bounce On before, now’s the time to take another look. It’s on sale for only $1.99 at the moment which is an amazing value.

Team Phobic revealed that there will be one more free world (World 5) added to Bounce On before they will consider it complete, and have also started work on Bounce On 2 which they promise will bring innovative new elements and look to the genre.
