Story
Aliens from space invade Earth, protecting their ship with 32 trampoline-filled levels of shields. Lucky for you, the titular Trampoline Terror, the levels are perfect for you to go in and destroy the shield.
Gameplay
and jump. Objects called "P-Balls" are scattered around each level; collect them by touching them and then use to shoot them out; they can be used to defeat enemies. Trampolines — solid green squares — cause you to jump higher and change color from green to yellow to blue to red before breaking with each successive jump; try to lure enemies into the resultant holes to destroy them. The level ends when all self-destruct switches (a square with an X and a colored circle in the middle) are destroyed; merely walk on one to destroy it.
There's a combo system in place, where if you trigger several switches of the same color in succession you get a higher score. If the combo is large enough, some special event (such as a massive explosion or invincibility) will trigger, depending on the color of the switches.
