In Hoppin' Mad you control four bouncing balls that travel through twelve varied environments – from parks and deserts to beaches and underwater worlds. Your goal is to collect up to ten balloons in each area while avoiding or crushing hazards. Any collision bursts a ball. You can adjust the speed and jump height to navigate safely.

About
Hoppin' Mad is an action game released in 1988 by Elite Systems for the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, and ZX Spectrum
The game takes place over 12 levels. On each level, the player has to guide a group of bouncing balls from the right edge of the level to the left edge. The balls are constantly bouncing, and the player can only alter their travel speed (by moving the joystick left or right) or make them bounce higher (by pressing the fire button). The objective of the game is to collect ten balloons; doing so will advance the player to the next level.
