Springer is a platformer game developed by Orca Corporation and published by Tigervision for the Atari 8-bit family in 1983. The game features a rabbit named Springer who must ascend a series of cloud platforms to reach the sun at the top of the screen, avoiding various hazards along the way.

The gameplay is presented in a fixed-screen format, with Springer jumping from cloud to cloud while collecting items and avoiding enemies such as dragons and fire hazards. The player can eliminate certain enemies by kicking them, earning points in the process. Occasionally, a crow appears, which cannot be defeated by Springer and adds an additional challenge. The game includes a time limit for each level, and the player loses a life if time runs out or if Springer collides with an enemy.

Springer offers both single-player and two-player alternating modes, providing a competitive element. The game is known for its simple yet engaging mechanics, colorful graphics, and challenging gameplay.
