Made for Day 1 of the Blackthornprod Pass the Game Challenge Jam!


Dig your way through an endless mineshaft on your trusty pogo stick! Use the left and right arrow keys or the two buttons on mobile to change your jumping angle, but watch out! You forgot to wear a helmet, so it's game over if you hit your head.


This is meant to be a strong core game for others to expand upon. Even if you've never made a game before, you can download the free, open source, visual code engine GDevelop from their website for free, and then you can use it to explore and improve the project! All you need to do after getting GDevelop  is download the PogoDigSource and unzip it onto your computer. There are mechanics for more ore, enemies, and floor layouts, all of which can be improved upon, added to, or dropped entirely if you know of a better way to utilize the core mechanic. The Source Code is heavily commented to try and help out new GDevelop users with understanding my thought process.


Additional resources: 

I learned how to do the random level generation from this tutorial on the GDevelop YouTube channel.

Color Palette for the game can be found here. Lospec Endesga 32

Nice concept, visuals and controls. For the people who will work on this project: the character is dying when hit the bottom part of the blocks. Stay still is the best strategy
