How it feels

You control a bald man on a pogo stick in a precise, physics-heavy climb where every mistake resets your progress back to the bottom, demanding stubborn patience.

What players say

Players compare it to Getting Over It or Only Up, calling it a foddian precision platformer controlled entirely with the mouse. They say it is brutally hard, with tiny margin for error, and falls can send you back to the start. Some love that fair challenge, others find the controls too unforgiving. Multiplayer has a rope mechanic that can pull or sabotage friends.
