However, I there were a series of jumps past the second spike that I just couldn't reliably get past.  I got past them maybe four times, but I'd always end up crashing or falling back, which is really frustrating.  This could have been fixed with only some minor level design changes, or the addition of checkpoints.  But again, this is a solid concept, and it's fun enough that I kept trying for a solid twenty minutes or so.  One of my favorites."}],"images":["ld34\/4857-313634b27a06a80566e0b44785e43834.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zaDUy2prn4Q","text":"Youtube (Full game)"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/38684958\/ld\/PogoGuy.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/svn.riouxsvn.com\/ld34_wupi","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"5337","g_author":"4857","g_event":"LD34","g_eventkey":"31","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"5306","g_title":"PogoGuy","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"502","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/4857-shot0-1450048644.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"You control a dude with a pogo stick with your left and right arrow. Try to reach the goal.\r\n\r\nThis game is more of a proof of concept than a real game. I've had this kind of gameplay mechanics on my mind for some time now but I haven't had time to prototype this. LD34 theme of \"two button controls\" was more than perfect to make this prototype :) I hope you enjoy this new experiment. I'll try to make a video later for people who can't play this game.","title":"PogoGuy"}
