Pogostuck
Pogostuck is a physics-based platformer where players bounce their way up a vertical world using only a pogo stick. The controls are simple, but mastering them requires timing, balance, and constant adjustment. One missed bounce can send the player sliding all the way back to the bottom, making progress feel both rewarding and risky. The challenge comes not from enemies or obstacles, but from the environment itself and the need to control momentum.
Mistakes Are Part of the Climb
Every surface in Pogostuck is curved, sloped, or angled in a way that makes movement unpredictable. The game offers no checkpoints, so players have to climb continuously without falling. This structure turns failure into a key part of the experience. The physics system makes every bounce slightly different, and players often need to learn through repeated attempts. Success means memorizing parts of the map and developing precise control over movement through trial and error.
Multiplayer Without Interaction
Though the game is played solo, it includes real-time ghost visuals of other players climbing at the same time. This adds a layer of silent competition and lets players see how others handle difficult sections. Watching someone pass by or fall can be motivating—or distracting. Pogostuck focuses on personal skill and endurance, creating an experience where each bounce forward feels earned, and each fall adds to the tension of trying again.
