I quite like this idea! Though it's a bit frustrating to control, finding the perfect 'strat' pays off and it's pretty satisfying. If further developed, it could make a nice rage game... 😳

It's really fun, and a creative use of the theme. I do always feel like I'm fighting the rotation, which sometimes just sends me the opposite way even though I'm sure I got it right. It makes chaining consecutive jumps for the higher obstacles a little difficult, and I think I cheesed a few levels by wall-jumping. Other than that, it's a fun time. Physics always makes any game 10x better!

String Theory (BarJam 2021)Great game! I think it was very creative to use the pogo stick as the main mechanic of the game, and the music was pretty good!

Thing on a SpringIf there's a pogo Olympics I definitely need to enter, you should have seen the nasty flip I did at one point.
Really fun game! The graphics were simple but well done and the sound was perfect. The music is an absolute bop.
The controls could be a bit finicky at times, sometimes it felt like my forward momentum would just abruptly stop. I also got to the part with water, fell in, and that never repawned. RIP Pogoman.
lol but really nice work :)

SuspendedOh, I forgot to mention in the game, that when you die in water you need to press Esc and then there's a respawn button (ups :) ), and the momentum just stopping is a bug, pretty annoying, didn't really know how to fix it, so I just leaved it there.
I am really happy that you liked it and thanks a lot for the feedback, it really helps me!! :D
that game is pretty good, i just find the controls a bit finicky
