Each course is a funny physics challenge where, as much as speed counts, keeping Balance will be just as important. Leaning, landing, recovering and then continuing to roll, all without an awkward jump ruining the whole run. No matter if you're competing to see who gets to the finish line first, or if you're playing vs. Someone else, the key to success will be mastering your ability to control momentum, not force every single move.

Overview of game
Pogo Masters is a physics based pogo racing and platform challenge based on timing, tilt, and clean landings. Unlike traditional platform games, this game has the rider of the pogo bouncing through levels of obstacles while attempting to maintain their riders' Balance. An incorrect step could tip the character over, decrease the player's speed, and/or put them in a precarious recovery situation.
The primary objective is to complete challenging levels by utilizing the rhythm of the pogo stick to your advantage. Levels will have ramps, bumps, staircases, gaps, and irregularly shaped platforms which will add unpredictability to each level. In addition to reaching the end of the course as quickly as possible, the player must remain upright for long enough to complete the level. When adding competitive elements to gameplay, every bounce of either competitor can determine whether they gain or lose ground. A competitor can falter at the last hurdle, or a lucky bounce can result in a dramatic turnaround. It is this combination of skill and humor that creates the unique appeal of the game.
Additional key elements to the gameplay experience
- Physics-based pogo motion with emphasis placed upon balancing.
- Single player courses are designed with timing and careful landings in mind.
- Locally played 2-player competitive play allows for head-to-head quick races.
- Rewards for performance encourage repeat attempts.
- Characters, pogo sticks, trail effects can be unlocked to progress through the experience.
New players tips and strategies
- Beginner players should start off slowly moving their player since over-correcting their Balance often results in a larger loss of control.
- Keep your eyes on the landing area before bouncing instead of focusing only on your character.
- Use small adjustments on flat surfaces and reserve large leaning motions for longer distances.
- Don't panic after losing momentum from one poor bounce; many runs can still be saved with one well-timed recovery.
More advanced tips and strategies
- Understand how momentum carries between jumps so you may plan for next obstacle earlier.
- Gradually lean into steep sections instead of pushing the pogo stick forward too quickly.
- In 2-player competitions focus first upon consistency then try and beat your opponent time wise.
- Master controlling speed before attempting perfect runs or collecting all rewards.
Common mistakes new players make
- Over-correcting their movement while holding down one direction which leads them past the point of recovery.
- Rushing to move fast before learning how the pogo reacts.
- Not paying attention to shape of upcoming platforms until its too late to adjust.
- Giving up after making one bad jump even though physics allow for surprising saves.
