Pogostuck: Rage With Your Friends

A mountain built to punish overconfidence turns a simple pogo stick into an instrument of triumph, panic, and spectacular failure. Pogostuck: Rage With Your Friends is a precision platformer in the same masochistic family as Getting Over It, where every ledge becomes a test of patience, physics, and nerve. The goal sounds modest—bounce to the summit—but the route is packed with narrow platforms, awkward angles, and drops capable of erasing minutes of careful progress. Its bright, playful presentation keeps the mood funny even when the climb becomes genuinely brutal.

Movement revolves around tilting your jumper, building momentum, and timing each bounce with enough control to land safely rather than launch into empty space. Rotating in midair can charge a powerful boost, letting skilled players clear larger gaps and recover from dangerous situations, while poor timing sends them tumbling back down the mountain. Checkpoints are scarce enough that every successful section feels earned, and learning the course means mastering its geometry as much as mastering the controls. Automatic online matchmaking supports groups of up to 16 climbers, so players can race, cooperate, witness each other’s disasters, or simply share the agony in real time.

What makes Pogostuck memorable is how it turns a solitary rage-platformer climb into a social event without making competition mandatory. Global leaderboards and live rankings give speedrunners and perfectionists a reason to refine routes, while unlockable cosmetic gear offers lighter long-term goals for everyone else. The mountain demands persistence, precise input, and a willingness to laugh after catastrophic mistakes, making it far less relaxing than its cartoonish look suggests. Fans of Getting Over It, Only Up!, and difficult physics platformers should feel immediately at home, while newcomers should arrive with patience and avoid expecting a forgiving first climb.
