Ricochet is an action-adventure game for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron home computers, published by Superior Software in 1989.
It was written by Neil Davidson and David Williams with some graphics work and level design by Nik Weston and Guy Burt.
[1] The object of the game is to retrieve five hourglasses from diverse scenarios to restore the flow of time.
While the game shares many elements made popular in earlier Superior arcade adventures such as Citadel, it has a unique feel due to the movement of the main character.
The player controls a creature named "SPRAT" (Small Partially Robotic Alien Time-traveller), depicted as a red sphere wearing sunglasses.
