Boingo Electro

Boingo Electro is a freeware sketch of a neat little game idea by Dadgum Games. Playing as a little wild-haired fellow named Boingo, you must hop about to project pulsing power jewels from deadly electric raindrops, all while avoiding electrocution. Don't let the freeware label fool you; it's addictive.

Gameplay

Boingo bounces around the play field firing pulses of energy at glowing power jewels. The catch is the constant rain of electric drops from above, which will fry Boingo on contact and end the round.

From Dadgum Games

The game was written by James Hague of Dadgum Games and released as freeware. Hague described it as a small experiment, but the tight loop of jumping, shooting, and dodging gives it real staying power.

Requirements

Boingo Electro requires a Power Macintosh. There is no 68k build; the game is PowerPC native.

Version 1.1.2

This release is a maintenance update with refreshed contact information in the documentation. The game itself is unchanged from earlier 1.1 builds. Permission was granted for inclusion on the Info-Mac CD-ROM.
