Pogo Plunge

Pogo Plunge is a mining game where you use a pogo stick to dig for resources. Utilize a combo jump system to mine rarer resources with increasing AOE and damage. Upgrade your stats in an alien shop to mine easier and become strong enough to dig to the bottom of the mineshaft.

Instructions

[WASD Keys] or [Left Controller Stick] to move the player

[Mouse] or [Right Controller Stick] to look around

[Space] or [A button] to jump

•  When landing on a block after a jump, you will damage it, and if there is enough damage, the block will break.
•  Try to aim at cross-sections between blocks to break multiple blocks with one jump
• Certain blocks will be harder or easier to break than others
• If the block breaks, you will pop back up and you can press the jump button again to perform a Combo Jump.
• To understand the timing of the Combo Jump, pay attention to the shrinking circle underneath you, press jump before it shrinks all the way down!

Some things to keep note of,

• Combo Jumps will do damage in a AOE, increasing with combos. Every 10 Combos will increase your damage even more.
• You can safely mine around bombs by using your AOE to damage the bomb without landing on it. Though keep in mind the radius of your AOE with the bombs!

Combo as long as possible to see the destruction that you can achieve!

Happy digging to the bottom! Be careful of the bombs!
