Welcome to the Pogo Zone!

Jump on your pogo stick and bounce, bounce, bounce!
Go! Go! PogoGirl is a dynamic, cute and radical platformer about a girl and her pogo stick. Bounce your way through the world, collect gems, dance with flowers and then bounce some more! Also maybe encounter bugs, because this is a preview build.

Go! Go! PogoGirl is my attempt at a loveletter to the 16bit games that I grew up with so many years ago. So, so many years.

What was originally intended to be a small game just wouldn't stop growing, and I'm still not done yet. But I'm super excited to show you how far the game has come, especially since
SAGE 2020!

More things!


Updates

How to Pogo (without falling on your face)

The controls in Go! Go! PogoGirl are fully remappable to both keyboard and gamepad, but here are the defaults you'll need to get your pogo on (gamepad buttons are based on the XBox model):

  • Arrow keys left, right / Gamepad DPad left, right): Move PogoGirl left or right. This is important if you want to move left or right.
  • Arrow key down / Gamepad DPad down: Charge up a superbounce. The longer you hold it the more powerful it is, but you probably guessed that. You can also start charging in the air. And if you release the charge the moment you touch the ground...well, just try it out!
  • C / Gamepad A: Perform a twirl in midair. This will not only give you some extra height, but also allows you to kick enemies in the face. Karate noises optional.
  • X / Gamepad B: Press it in midair and PogoGirl angrily stomps the ground, giving her more height than a regular bounce and allowing her to stomp switches and other things. Press the button at the apex of your jump to perform a radical Super Stomp.

Be Excellent!

I just played your game. Its a lot of fun. Very cute art style. The balancing is also nice, not too easy and not too hard.
Good job, well done 😍
 
This feels a lot like playing 2000-era PC platformers from The Daily Click, but with more polish. The wordless intro cutscene is very adroit at portraying events and emotions, and then the level design is generally just what you'd want without becoming too complicated or difficult. Given the game's big focus on collecting gems, I think some more effort could be put into making gem collection satisfying, especially visually. The seasons changing per level is a nice way to keep the player from getting too bored. You probably don't need the "x" in the HUD.
