Pogo Dojo is 2D radical sports game. The sport is stomping on shadow creatures with your pogo-katana.
CONTROLS:
Controls are provided in game but are also listed as follows:
A,D - Move left and right
W - Jump
Spacebar - Slash
Down Arrow - Pogo
Other arrows - Do tricks while Pogo'ing
SCORE SYSTEM:
Your score increases when you are in the air. You get 100 points for killing a monster.
Your multiplier increases by 0.5 if you do a "stale" trick (same one in succession), by 1 if you do a new trick, and by 2 if you perform an "Aerial" (slashing an enemy while in the air).
I'm pretty confident that this will turn out to be one of the most unconventional weapons I experience today. :D
The zoom effect while doing tricks is very cool, I struggled to land where I wanted to between the zoom, timescale, and fast gravity & enemy speeds though. If any one of those factors were adjusted down I think it would handle better.
This is great! Nice controls and trying to keep hitting all the spiders works good! I would've preferred to skip the trick part and focus on building the combo meter by continually hitting spiders.
I love this. Especially the "SICK", and "WICKED" quotes when doing tricks, haha.

Funny idea. It got kinda boring after a while though, because of the limited options you have. I would have liked some more variety. Overall okay game!
The jump sound effect was a little annoying and loud.
Besides that, awesome job! I cracked up when I saw the first "SICK" popup, and the slow motion was pretty fun. I even found out you could aerial slash during the slow motion, which helped a lot. I ended up getting the ultimate victory. :D
You could probably make this sort of thing into a more complete game if you wanted. I was a bit reminded of Guacamelee -- I loved the forgiving combo system in that.
@GAFBlizzard I am so happy to see someone who reached the "Ultimate Victory"! I had no time to playtest the scores and create a proper tutorial so a lot of people don't make it that far.

Great game! Very polished, very complete, neat graphics and sounds. The mood and arcade feel are real. The theme implementation is just perfect. Maybe a few more enemies, and it will be even more fun! Probably one of the best games so far!

Well done!
