I love this game! Have spent hours playing it on the train. I'd love to get the cart for my real Atari XEGS. Or even better, get the cart and then go back in time to late 80s to give to child version of me.
Fantastic concept. I always knew the Atari could do come great things and you've proved it. It's limited graphically on certain things like total colors at higher res which always frustrated me. You just have to design to it's unique strengths. Good job!
I'm impressed! 8 bit??? Could a C64 do this I wonder? I saw Crazy chessboard demo (or something like that) recently on Atari and was also very impressed. Looks like Atari was a capable machine.
Get the Atari800WinPLus emulator and the disk image. They're not hard to find, and you get the benefit of choosing between PAL and NTSC for any game you play.
When I said "current-gen design aesthetics", I was talking about the overall presentation of the game, not the actual game design. Games similar to this one in gameplay were around for ages.
If this had come out 20 years ago, Atari would probably still be in business! I'm not sure what is the most amazing thing about this game - the game itself or the fact that there are people out there still writing for ancient hardware!
You can't rate this till you play it, this is the most amazing game! Setting require a 130XE with 128Mb of RAM. I'd advice using the Joystick as the controller as keyboard controls have issues.
Get the emulator here:
atari800 DOT sourceforge DOT net
And the game here:
yoomp DOT atari DOT pl
If this wasn't so underground, it would take Tetris' throne!

You should make version on PC, ST, Amiga and sell it. You could be reach man.

I love how the ball keeps the beat with the music, awesome !

The music is my favourite part of this game. Sadly most of my friends don't get the point of games that don't require quad SLI graphics cards.

Great game, and music is very good (also uses double Pokey - stereo) and it nice synchronized with "boing" of the ball. Very addictive and playable!

Does this work on the Atari 800XL PAL version? Where can I get this? It looks awesome.

Yes, Yoomp work on a standard Atari 800XL PAL or NTSC. You can find the game disc using google

Current-gen design aesthetics replicated on an ancient platform - something I always wanted to do!
I am not a fan of such games (too monotonous for my tastes), but I give credit where it's due - this looks amazing!.
Can you get the game to run on Atari 5200?: )

It works with only 64K memory. You can use 800XL, 65XE or 130XE for playing Yoomp! PAL or NTSC version

The way the music ties in with the gameplay reminds me quite a bit of Q? Entertainment's games like Lumines and Every Extend Extra.
