PogoChamp

PogoChamp is a fun semi-challenging experience (only got to level 27). The core gameplay mechanic of pogging up, is very fun. There are some interesting & fun levels, once you get the irish spring green green mechanics down. I would classify this game as foddy-lite. If you've always wanted to play a dangCore game, but its a little too tough for you, and you don't like to use resin, this game is for you. I enjoyed the game, and found myself saying, just one more level, just one more level. It is very well polished, with challeninging 3-stars timer levels to earn, mixed with death replays aplenty, and the ability to see the ultimate pogo sweat lords physical runs, where they jump frame perfect dripping in sweat. =) A fun game to pog out of your gourd with. Well done Jake. =) PS - I got the code with the letter.

PogoChamp is a hidden gem and sadly does not get the love it deserves. It is a game about overcoming controls, trying things, testing your patience, and learning movement mechanics. It rides among other similar games such as "Getting Over It" or "QWOP", but much less frustrating. The controls aren't hard per se, it's just that they are difficult to master. I think the official description sums it up pretty well with "Fun, not Frustrating". It's a much smoother process here with learning; the starting levels just being simple tests of movement and learning how to jump. That is until you reach a "spike" in difficulty which has been said to be deliberate by the developer. This isn't really a problem though since the game employs a star system that allows you to skip some levels based on your performance. You can always come back... and I suggest you do. As you progress and learn more, those difficult levels will be nothing after returning later. I started my journey in PogoChamp with a keyboard and mouse. I do not recommend that even though it is possible; listen to the starting screen: "Controller Strongly Recommended". The mechanics and controls of the game really shine when you have finer control of your movements which controllers will provide here. After 20 hours in the game, I could probably make it work with keyboard/mouse controls now that I am not absolute trash at it, but it was a rough start for sure. PogoChamp features some of my favourite kinds of gameplay. Quick levels that you can play over and over again beating your previous score and competing in the leaderboard for the fastest times. Fortunately for me, and less fortunate for the developer, since there are not many players, I could get in the top 5 on some of the levels. Anything above that is pretty impossible for a more casual-type player like myself because a player named "WaltzingDucks" exists. This style of play is not for everybody, and luckily as mentioned above, you can just progress through the game more linearly if you prefer. You will need to replay some levels though to get more stars to unlock further levels. The game itself is extremely polished; albeit, simple in design, UI, and concept. I will say some of the later levels get a bit muddy aesthetically, leaning towards more realistic or open-world scenarios. I think the game shines most with simple point a-to-b level designs. It's hard to even fault anything here though since those different levels serve to break up the monotony and add some wacky variety. There are plenty of secrets in some of these levels as well which adds another hit of serotonin for me. It has other modes such as survival mode and daily challenge which provide ever-so-slight deviations from the normal level-to-level gameplay for extra challenge and variety. Overall, this is an amazing package and a really fun game. With the permanent price drop, this is a no-brainer if this sounds like something you would hate, then enjoy.

Quick Score: 5/5 Notes: My first impression of the game based on the trailer and recommendations from some friends was fairly negative. Looked like a scuffed combination of Pogostuck and Stilt Fella. After playing the game though, I can now confidently say it is indeed what I initially thought, but its also actually pretty good and I overall enjoyed my playthrough going for all the rainbow medals. For 3$ the game is absolutely worth checking out.

Fun game with a somewhat difficult learning curve. Lots of levels to improve your skills on and once you've gotten used to the controls, going for best times on individual levels is really fun too, especially when there is more competition. Probably would be pretty fun to speedrun, I imagine it would be similar to meatboy, with lots of deaths and lots of hype!

PogoChamp is a surprisingly deep game. Don't be led astray by the simple looks - it's held up by a complex but clear movement system, tight gameplay, and well-crafted design that makes challenges feel fair. While it can be frustrating and hilarious at times to marvel at your own failures (particularly with the fantastic replay system), PogoChamp avoids the simple categorization of 'rage game' by segmenting the gameplay into individual levels, each with their own tactics, design and gameplay. Add in clear speedrunning components for the fans of mastering the pogo and you get a highly impressive game well worth the price. Hop to it.

Highly recommended. An awkward control sim that has an amazing amount of depth, challenge, and a great variety of gameplay experiences across the 101 levels included. Once you get past the first hour or so where the controls feel incredibly awkward (and which still continue to feel that way afterwards, but decreasingly so), you'll recognise the amount of polish and love that has been put into the game by the developer. It's a fantastic experience from start to end, and do hope more people have the chance to experience the quality of this hidden gem.

※レビュー時、このゲームはまだアーリーアクセス版なので完全な評価ではありません。 ホッピングに乗ったクラッシュダミー人形を操作して数多のステージに挑みゴールを目指す３Dアクションゲームです。コントローラーでのプレイが強く推奨されています。 ゲームのプレイに最低限必要な操作は姿勢制御の左スティックとジャンプボタン（あと視点操作の右スティック）のみで、シンプルではありますが、姿勢制御の癖の理解やジャンプの感覚・コツの体得に時間がかかり、難易度は高め。 似たゲームにPogostuck;Rage with your friendがありますが、操作性は格段にこちらの方が難しいです。とはいえ一つ一つのステージは短く、テンポよく進めていける点ではストレスフリーな作品かと思います。みんな買おう [b]ゲーム内リーダーボード（グローバル/フレンド）、リプレイ機能付き。[/b] スピードランナーには嬉しい機能。友達と競おう！高みを目指せ！

I am pretty sure this game is crack personified. But like in the good way. Play it please, it is amazing.

ストレスの少ない、チャレンジ系のストイックなプラットフォーマー。雑なつくりのゲームではなさそう。 操作キーで態勢をコントロールしたり角度を調整しながら、タイミングよくボタンを押してゴールまで目指すという単純なルール。〇〇秒以内なら星3つとか、プレーヤーたちのタイムがランキング形式で表示(非表示も可)されるので、それを目指して上位を目指すのも楽しい。レビューを投稿しているWaltzingDucks氏がほぼどのステージでも1位だが、プレーヤーのプレー動画を見る機能があるので、解法に困ったら彼の動画を参照すると良いと思う。タイムを刻むためのプレーなので、かなり高難易度ではあるが。 まだ15面程度までしかクリアしていないが、今のところ、理不尽な難易度のステージを乗り越えろ！みたいなノリの雑なつくりのステージは見かけていないし、ストイックで高難易度な部類のゲームではあるがストレスは少ない。Daily Challengeも用意されていて、そっちはちょっと理不尽さのあるステージも混ざっているかもしれない。いずれにしても、タイムを刻むのが望み薄なら自爆したり、リズムよくワンボタンで再チャレンジできるようになっているので、プレーヤーのことを考えて作ってあるゲーム。 楽しめるゲームにまとまっていると思う。某社のXBOX360コントローラーのコピー品（スティック緩すぎだろ）でも快適に遊べてるのもGOOD。ちょいマゾゲーマーがこつこつ遊ぶのはもちろん、タイムアタックマニアや、ストリーミングやパーティーのネタにも向いている。オススメ。
