Pogo-Dwarf

Unfortunately you found no diamonds whilst mining and now you're starving.

Embark on an epic journey out of the magnificent hole you dug!
#### That's my first compo, I'd love to get feedback!

*Note - This game is really hard but completely possible! My best time is 00:10:17, WR is 00:02:52 by @bossusuprem

How to play:

Compress the pogo-stick by holding mouse left button, release to jump!
Rotate yourself using A,D.

Respawn (if stuck / bugged out) pressing R.

Future of Pogo-Dwarf

The Development of Pogo Dwarf will continue after the jam ends!

Currently planned:
- More input options (keyboard-only, mouse-only, button remapping)
- Floor-clipping fix
- Map rework (Better difficulty curve, new areas and tech)
- Steam Release!
