Manhattan

Manhattan is a trampoline jumping game where you play as the "Deco Kid" who ricochets pinball like between two skyscrapers for style points. At the start of the game, you are dropped by helicopter onto a trampoline. If you press the button when the trampoline is most taut, you will be rocketed towards the top of the building and get points if you land on top. Otherwise, you will be launched some distance up and then start plummeting to the ground.

To avoid certain death, you are equipped with jets which give you some limited horizontal control. This will also allow you to avoid various obstacles such as balloons, which clutter the area. Hitting any obstacle or the side of the building will cause you to lose a life. The jets also allow you to arrest your fall by hitting various bars on the sides of each building. If you are descending quickly enough, you will bounce off these, throwing you clear of the building and giving you points. There are four special platforms labelled D, E, C and O. Hitting all of these at some point in your game will give you bonus points. Falling onto the hammock just above ground level, or gently onto one of the landing bars, will allow you to end your performance to massive applause. And then you get to do the same thing all over again.
