PogoSwing

Quick Facts

Information

I wanted to make a fast paced, first-person 3D platformer game with a underrepresented mechanic: a pogo stick. The VR version is still WIP.

The player controls a human jumping up & down on a pogo stick that has a grappling hook in each hand to traverse the challenging environment.

The focus is entirely on gameplay with free movement & simple goals limited by time & the environment.
