Lmao this game is so fun. Saw my classmate play it in class and downloaded today.
I just have a few questions:
1- Will there be a steam release soon?
2- Will there be multiplayer ever?
3- You should create a discord so that the community can ask questions and stuff like that and so everyone will be able to be notified about updates easily and report gliches more easily
multiplayer would be kinda cursed problem to solve for pogo3d. I’m working on a multiplayer game that could in theory support pogo sticks as vehicles which will more than likely be the form multiplayer pogo takes.
I want to do a steam release, but I have a job and another game (as described above) that is also eating up some of my time.
I could put up a steam release now for early access but it wouldn’t be “finished” until the end of the year
I think I have officially done it. I think I have completed everything this game has to offer in 1.2.5.
Classic Pogo, Silver, Custom, Golden, all completed the main game.
Every secret, found.
And now the challenges have officially been completed.
What have I missed? I found the well behind the waterfall, I got all the quarters (which you should be able to see in an achievements tab in the main menu or something), I found (and completed) the secret level by the throne room, I've been behind the red gate, is there anything I haven't done in this game? Let me know.
"bug": when you view the challenges menu in the browser without being full screened, the arrows that switch between the pages are partially hidden behind the challenge buttons.
it might be a hardcoded resolution for where the arrows and buttons are, causing the predetermined size of the button to go past it, because the windowed resolution is so small.
I’ve seen this too. I’ll look into it
I feel like the UI is too fat on fullscreen too… I know minecraft has a similar menu UI to me and it shrinks it down pretty aggressively
Bug: dying after completing the game (you do this by facing downwards) puts you back in a semi-frozen main menu after the credits. You can enter the settings, but the background is frozen, and you can't start an adventure or enter the challenge menu. Tested on chrome.
Dunno where to post all these bugs, they clog up the comments.
thanks lol, I'm currently doing castle infiltration, the one you made earlier, and I'm getting really close to <15 seconds, but I can't get the last jump.
Cheers for checking it out. Yeah there are a couple of routes, depending on how fast you go. For me going straight ahead and then doing a backwards jump onto the last roof works okay. But if you're real fast you can skip all that.
that’s a good idea. Not sure how to quantify “best” but im cool to be the sole arbiter of quality B)
I think I can make like an announcement on the itch page. that’s probably my best bet. I’ll set it up after work
like you picked up the ticket to let you start from the throne room, but it doesn’t show up under starting points for adventure?
what browser / OS are you using? I can try and fix the problem if I have that.
bruh theres no way i found this its kinda useless rn but it could be good,go into the sewers and go to the fan part ,but instead of going into the pipe to get into the final part go onto the wall,get it right and mabey we could clip into the ceiling.
i encountered some bugs with the golden pogo i think, like in the drawbridge area the water never rises when using the golden pogo, is it a trigger with the checkpoint that doesn't get activated?
My other project (jumpchat) i’m a lot more invested in, but its not really any specific game as much as a set of tools for creating new games. Just as an example, I could port pogo3d into the jumpchat engine to support multiplayer, replays, customizeable characters, multiple vehicles, etc. like I’ll make a level editor in the jumpchat engine, and then no matter what games I make after that, they will all have a level editor.
maybe I won’t specifically port pogo3d over, maybe another game of a similar style. what other games do you speedrun?
you can simply check my sr.c profile, it has what games i run there. I usually like 2D games, but recently I've been trying to find 3D games to run, like A Craft of Mine (which didn't get put on sr.c)
But also, what you're saying is jumpchat is kind of a "game engine" of sorts? if so, that's pretty cool
if you have multiplayer in a steam release, you can make levels that require multiple people, like a puzzle that needs 2 levers pressed at the same time, that sort of thing
naw that code is so old and crusty. I plan to make more stuff like that but I’ll make it by slicing off of jumpchat once I have some more features in it.
Very cool game! The pogo stick mechanic was really unique and interesting, I enjoyed the difficulty level, and the low-fi visuals reminded me of 3D games I played as a kid. The secrets added some nice depth too.
I completed all four levels plus the throne room bonus area and collected three coins, I would have liked to get 100% but I think that's all I have time for right now.
A few critiques:
- I thought the "indoor" areas were too dark, I could barely make out anything in most of the sewer level.
- The Yard felt sluggish and a bit tedious compared to the other levels. The game felt the most fun when you were moving fast and trying to avoid flying out of control.
- The color palette was a little drab, I think you could brighten up the colors to make things feel more lively.
- After completing the last level in Firefox, the screen went black and I had to reload the page to continue.
Just a thing i want to mention, with updates and speedrunning could you make older versions downloadable? If you do, I can properly add a version variable to the sr.c page.
maybe not every single build, but if I change something that ruins speedruns somehow I’ll obviously host the older version.
I don’t plan to lengthen the “main story” any further past what it already is. Additional content will be secret levels attached at branch points along the “main story” or standalone oneshot chapters

having an early access is better than having a "release" that might be unfinished, i think

unrelated
fix your twitter link on Itch io, it says weekendwizardy when it's supposed to be hedgewizards
now I know your secret alias
yeah i was thinking about that
thanks

hm… I fixed an iteration of this bug that affected all versions. I’ll look at it again
seems to be working fine in current build
oh misinterpreted bug. whoops
I genuinely think I've reached the skill ceiling, or at least somewhere close to it.
PB: 4.107
Code: 0ã2þŲòAð4Ěŵġl1WŜĜ
I call this one: Rooftop Climb
Much trickier than I expected.
well done!
I actually didn't expect to beat your time as fast as I did, but...
Lol good job. It took me a bunch of tries, I think you are more consistent!
I'll definitely let you keep that jeez, 4.1 is fast
thanks lol, I'm currently doing castle infiltration, the one you made earlier, and I'm getting really close to <15 seconds, but I can't get the last jump.

just started streaming.
oh shit there's another tab of developer challenges? I thought it was just the 5
I'm all pogoed out, wp
you definitely make it look easy
Have a go at taking back the WR sometime, I'd like to see how low you can push it. Maybe some oob even?
um so i may have discovered a bug where if you pause and exit to main menu in a place thats visible in the main menu, the hud elements remain...
gonna reopen the game to see if it still happens
yep. even after reopening the game the bug still occurs.
(did that to make sure it wasn't a one off occurrence that wastes ur time)
Hey, alot of people are making balloon challenges, you should add a new page of community made balloons!
perhaps a contest to see who can make the best balloon challenges?
that’s a good idea. Not sure how to quantify “best” but im cool to be the sole arbiter of quality B) I think I can make like an announcement on the itch page. that’s probably my best bet. I’ll set it up after work
cool
you could do a poll at the end of it or with one you like the most or have categories like hardest, funniest, the most hidden, etc...
Castle Infiltration
ƀÍ5ĞŲX2x6ûAjī2ĢëĽ
This about my best time
Really good, satisfying and simple physics.
I can't wait to see where this goes!
I think these hard to figure out
Ţę3àUįţň1Ň0ĴÚ4XÖĦ
ŷſ2s8GźŃ1ē6lM3JXň
lol the 2nd one is funny
did you beat it my friends cant
yeah it took me a bit lol. it’s kinda similar to the wall jump part of the secret level but the slant makes it a lot harder
this balloon challenge i just made is straight up just a hide and seek with the balloon.
ŽĔ2þ6œŸwƁàMŎĄ3VĂi
nice spot
try to find and get this
ŸÕ3Æ6ò1÷1ñƁƁR3KŬj
this one is hide and seek i did it in 13.984 sec
ŸĢ2íCHŸĬ2į9řĵ3sûķ
beat the first one 7.242
beat the second one 4.479
For the first one how did you go so fast and here is round 2 Ţè3ÆUĸŦÈ2fŻƁÉ4gGŜ
9.781
dam you are too good, the fastest I got is 10.5
Brutally hard game but fun concept and superb implementation!
I call this one: "Right Behind You"
PB: 8.142
Code: Bĺ0ŮŜĂDœ45Ŝ0ĉ1hyŘ
whoa thats brutal. i have to try this later
speaking of brutal, i tried one of the codes you tweeted (the balloon on the mountain by the throne room)
and that's probably harder than this one
LOL maybe a bit harder… ;)
no the spiral is not forgiving
the spiral climb in the yard is actually ridiculous, i think thats harder (to beat the devs time) than both of the ones mentioned here combined
lol… I gave up and went the long way around
gave me an idea for a different level

Throne room checkpoint doesnt save
like you picked up the ticket to let you start from the throne room, but it doesn’t show up under starting points for adventure? what browser / OS are you using? I can try and fix the problem if I have that.
This sounds like a problem that wouldn't depend on any of that. Pretty much anything you do breaks the checkpoints in some way.
Here is repro for one version:
1) Start fresh in browser (chrome for example)
2) Play until you get the custom pogo, and chapter 2 & 3's checkpoints
3) Go back to the menu
Result: I don't know. Sometimes you don't have the custom pogo even if you got it, and you don't have checkpoint 3 or even 2.
Sometimes you get checkpoints 1, 2 and 4.
Sometimes you get all four.
I think this is hard to find in the game
ŻgƀŅEGžLƀČƁêi4LłÄ
I thought there would a secret there when playing, but I went in the other way around, you can make the jump both ways
957 death for me
Very hard game... but funny.
I managed to fall down the monitor and avoid the teleporter and jump around in the black and green zone, it was cool.
Where do I spend my coins? Nowhere? :(
Also this is a fun place to be with the golden pogo lol.
what coins?
Coin to whoop your ass lmao
the silver coins you pick up like achievements
oh those ones.
After over 1000 deaths and the timer said I played 117 hours... i finally beat it
bruh theres no way i found this its kinda useless rn but it could be good,go into the sewers and go to the fan part ,but instead of going into the pipe to get into the final part go onto the wall,get it right and mabey we could clip into the ceiling.
dang i havent plaed this in awhile smash bros does some stuff to you.
how does one wall jump?
i encountered some bugs with the golden pogo i think, like in the drawbridge area the water never rises when using the golden pogo, is it a trigger with the checkpoint that doesn't get activated?
ur right
you should create a discord server about this game
i can create one for the speedrunning community
I made a discord https://discord.gg/YqdemsDVUF
Are you working on anything other than pogo3d right now?
anything... speedrunnable?
My other project (jumpchat) i’m a lot more invested in, but its not really any specific game as much as a set of tools for creating new games. Just as an example, I could port pogo3d into the jumpchat engine to support multiplayer, replays, customizeable characters, multiple vehicles, etc. like I’ll make a level editor in the jumpchat engine, and then no matter what games I make after that, they will all have a level editor.

But also, what you're saying is jumpchat is kind of a "game engine" of sorts? if so, that's pretty cool
yeah haha a game engine inside a game engine. that’s the idea
if you have multiplayer in a steam release, you can make levels that require multiple people, like a puzzle that needs 2 levers pressed at the same time, that sort of thing
what you get for completing golden pogo?
:^) nothing…
wait there is a golden pogo?
yeah if you beat the game with the silver pogo (less checkpoints) you unlock the golden pogo (NO checkpoints)
i'll ad that to the sr.c then
what about shiny pogo in the game files?
early version of silver pogo i never removed I guess.
wait how did you find that?
AssetStudio to inspect textures and UABEA to change them (can probably change the trail but thats hard)
also you can check my tutorial on this (thats another game but thats actually the same process):
so you can have a custom cosmetics in pogo3d like mirrors edge cosmetic mods? thats sick
hm… i have recolorable player models in jumpchat. i wonder if I should add this to paid pogo3d
you really do get nothing... i spent way too long trying to find out lol
this game made me racist
my dick inverted from this game
this game also impregnated me
this game impregnated me
common Logan W
oki doki
this game makes me want to eat cheese and crackers really badly. its so hard (just like me).
Only thing is misssing is playing as girl bunny maybe Blue or Purple or Pink bunny is good colors or yellow
Or light blue to
i do think more customization should be a thing, like the custom pogo could have custom colors maybe
Great game! I would personaly love to see this game get speedrunned. I love the cute & simplistic art style! Extremely hard & cute! 7.8/10
You're in luck, cause I have already done that.
pretty neat
You still working on pursuer btw?
naw that code is so old and crusty. I plan to make more stuff like that but I’ll make it by slicing off of jumpchat once I have some more features in it.
Show post...
Would love a timer for personal bests.
thats a good idea. I’ll put it on the list. thanks.

speaking of lengthening the game, if you ever do make a steam release PLEASE add a level editor
(so players can make their own custom additions to the game)
was too har
