Jinks is a bouncing ball game that was originally released on the Commodore 64 in 1987.
+ Once you've beaten a stage you can re-enter it and be greeted by slightly different enemy layouts as a form of progression.
- However, these amended stages only have one variation, so visiting the level for a third time offers nothing new.
- Entire game features only four levels, so unless you're a high score chaser repetition will start to kick in rather quickly.
- Ball physics are inconsistent and trying to carefully manoeuvre around the playfield can be an exercise in frustration.
- Accurately bouncing the ball into a level indicator during the Interlude is maddening and you'll often select the wrong stage.
- Colour schemes throughout are garish and it's not uncommon for the ball to be indistinguishable from the background.
