Really good game, I think wall jumps could be a bit better to do, but excellent idea. Good Job!

How did you incorporate the theme "UNSTABLE"?
Bouncing around on a pogo stick while trying to aim a weapons is pretty unstable!

First person pogo stick was my first prototype for this gamejam, but It was too hard to control to make the challenge platforming so I discarded that idea. But adding shooting on top of this is genious! Excelent idea, also I love the level of polish of this game, looks super solid. Great work!

21 PillsMan, how did you smooth movement clean like this? I would like to make a control smooth like this. Anyway, I liked a lot, gameplay is really fun, music and originality is top level.

The Wifi Is Gone?The theme is hilarious XD Creative twist on the theme. The game is super polished, it feels like a full release! I liked the idea of a space soldier jumping around on a pogo stick in space with a shotgun. I am terribly at platformers and it took me way too long to clear 4 aliens on the cubes, the jump and shotgun use was challenging for me to get BUT i still had fun. Don't really have much feedback it's like a complete game. Incredible work.

Crumbling CrownsAwesome submission! The pogostick is a really original take on the genre. The visuals and audio are really cohesive. Another successful game jam! Nice job!

BEST IN SHOWThis game is the most addictive in the whole jam 😭
Loved the idea of "unstable" being your aim because of all the hopping. Good job!

"UnCourt! UnCase! UnKing!"Very fun. I couldn't get the hang of the wall jumping though. Unique concept.

Medical MalpracticeFUN GAME! I like the movement generally but I loath the wall jumping the game would have been perfect without it or with it improved. the music is nice and so is the atmosphere, the best thing about it is how powerful it makes you feel so good job!

on Stay: Pullit was how unresponsive it was. sometimes it jumps sometimes it doesnt even when I recreate the same thing. it doesn’t give a lot of vertical momentum so in the wall jump sections you could easily get suck at just bouncing between the walls horizontally. but yeah my main issue with the responsiveness. if I was even a millisecond too late the jump is cancelled instead of being weak. and yeah again usually wall jumps have SOME vertical jump to them at least. luckily I was able to skip all wall jumping parts with shotgun and normal jumps
Fair enough! That was intentional so the player would use their weapons recoil to assist the wall climbs. But it's good to know players struggled with it. I should have made the wall jumping section strictly wall jumping only, with no need for recoil! There was another mechanic that I needed to explain better and that was jumping. You could charge a jump for more powerful jumps or tap the jump and still get a boosted jump (Just not as much). This was a helpful piece of feedback!
I think the pogo mechanic is unique and fun. I like the creativity the weapons bring to the movement, as you can use them to jump higher. At a certain point, the movement felt disorienting, though. Otherwise, a cool game!

The Hollowed HeartI thought I was falling, but then I remembered my training. I 180 shotgun and pogo off the wall and 180 shotgun again to get back to the platform. One enemy remains. I landed right in front of them. I shotgun them point blank, but I forget the recoil. I fall to my death. The pogo gods resurrect me. I shamefully pogo to the finish. Fun game!

Let Down Your Hair!Very fun & the pogo stick idea adds such a cool new challenge to a shooter game!
