Our take on Pogo Stick: Ultimate Challenge
The defining constraint is the mouse-controlled pogo climb: one bad angle or twitch can send the character back down the mountain.
What is Pogo Stick: Ultimate Challenge?
Control a bald character on a pogo stick using only the mouse and try to reach the top of a mountain.
The climb depends on movement and jump angles, with incorrect input sending the character back down. The route contains unexpected sections, and the physics affect how each jump develops. Repeated attempts form part of the experience, as the game does not become easier while the player becomes more accustomed to it. Multiplayer supports up to four players. Participants can pull another player closer or push them away during the climb. The stated goal is to reach the top.
