This time in the Tubers High Score challenge we have a system debut! It's the Atari 800XL and the game is Yoomp! Released in 1987 chosen by NovaBug.
Yoomp! was the winner of the 2007 ABBUC software competition. Like a combination of Trailblazer and an often-seen demoscene effect, you fall down a tube, landing on each square progressively in a rhythmic manner. Landing on certain tiles will have certain effects, such as making the screen quake, decreasing the brightness or forcing you to jump. Navigating the tube itself is a matter of planning ahead and compensating for your limited movement capabilities.
I have great nostalgia for the Atari 800XL as it was my very first computer, nice to see it in the THSC, hope to see more of it in the future, anyway here's my run....
