Pogostuck: Rage With Your Friends
Pogostuck: Rage With Your Friends is a well-designed, fun, colourful and ambient rage game that stretches the lines of human sanity, determination and pain. On the surface, Pogostuck looks and breathes like a bouncy, Getting over It-esque, online, fun challenging game; however, this fantasy is destroyed after around 25 hours of playtime. In total, the first map took me around 50 hours to beat, which can be visualised below:
0-3 hours: “This is pretty hard but I’m going to beat it.”
4-10 hours: “This is kind of hard but I’m making progress.”

Is this the start or the end?
Oh caterpillar, hold me friend!
I’m soaring high right through the sky,
see soaring beans this must be dreams.
I pogo this, I pogo that,
I’m longing for my brand new hat!
I bonk and yeet,
land on my feet,
I Alt F4,
come back for more.
I ‘member grapes, I ‘member trees,
but not the bees I beg you please!
The blade of life, it does it’s thing,
like I do mine, I hear it swing…
