Gameplay

In the game Bossa Nova, the player takes control of Bossa, bouncing away shapes as they fly onto the screen. Each shape follows a fixed rhythm with no change. The square shapes have two beats with the second beat at half. The circle shapes always start with a single note, then continues with two quick notes before a beat. Occasionally Bossa and Nova may switch positions, swapping roles with the shapes.

Controls

• A = Bounce block/ball

Hit or Miss

• Hit: Bossa bumps/blocks the shape.
• Barely: The shape is bumped very weakly and falls down.
• Miss: The shape shape hits Bossa. If you bounce at the same time as Nova, they bump heads and Bossa yelps.

Bossa and Nova are one of those wonderful, charming, witty, urbane couples that their neighbors adore. They live in a split-level cave in the trendy part of Big Field with Fruit Trees. 

Bossa's work takes him all over Big Field, and the animals love him. He is especially popular among elderly animals, who appreciate his old-world manners. Nova is a well-known local artist whose paintings adorn all the best nearby caves. 

On this particular day, Bossa is taking a day off to help Nova move the largest painting she has ever done. It's going to a cave near Big Hole with Mastodon Skeleton in It. An art collector has already paid Nova quite a few shiny stones and flint tools for it. 

Working together, the two of them move the large painting into the cave and hang it on the wall. Then they step back and admire Nova's work in its new home. "It definitely makes the cave come alive," says the art collector, "but I'm afraid it just won't do. It clashes with the other pieces. Unless...I can comission some more of your work to replace them?"

Bossa and Nova grin. It may be time for Bossa to quit his job promoting conch-shell perfomances and become Nova's full-time agent...
