What players say

A brutal physics platformer where players control a pogo stick by holding down the spacebar. Mastering the bounce timing is punishing yet rewarding, and the coin system adds high-stakes risk: lose all your coins if you fall too far. Reviewers split between calling it therapeutic once clicked or simply too demanding, with some noting the lack of customizable key binds.
