How it feels

A minimal and whimsical pogo-stick climbing game that feels both freeing and punishing, placing all blame on the player's own dexterity.

What players say

Players compare it to Getting Over It with a pogo stick, praising its fair achievements and visible checkpoints but split on bugs the developer reportedly refuses to fix. Most complete it in 6-10 hours, though sentiment is that updates have made it easier over time.
