Pogostuck: Rage With Your Friends

Five years ago I have released Pogostuck out into the world. Thank you to the over 300 000 people who have played the game since, including those who have tried it and decided it's not for them (although I suggest sticking with it for 30-60min at least, as quite a few people who went on to enjoy the game greatly didn't like it much initially)! Thank you to the gamers who have played Pogostuck for 1000+ hours, perfected the movement and destroyed all the game's challenges and records in leaderboards! And thank you to content creators and everyone who has watched the game on YouTube, Twitch or other streaming sites! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34023786/10c025ac1b180709c7b0930cfcd0de0837d43f0e.png To celebrate this milestone I've added 3 new wardrobe items: A birthday cake hat (with a secret special mechanic, maybe!). A new pause effect - for Pogo Masters only. An offbeat accessory - for Pogo Legends only. To unlock the birthday cake hat boot up the game and play one of the maps for a bit during the celebration week (February 28th until March 6th). See you on Mount Pogo! Superku

I've just added the 33 new achievements that will launch with the Map 3 content update, launching January 15th. Additional achievements will come at a later point when extra Map 3 game modes get patched in. I want to make sure all of those achievements work fine and can be unlocked at launch. Therefore it was necessary to add them to the Pogostuck Steam backend. As a result, sadly all players lose the 100% achievement completion rate for Pogostuck and will not be able to regain it for the next 14 days. Sorry, and thank you for understanding.

The trailer for the upcoming free Map 3 content update is ready. Watch it here: Pogostuck: The Root Of All Evil launches January 15th, 2022, 9pm CET. For more info about the map and what else comes with the update check my previous news posts or wait for the release day write-up. Thank you, and see you at the top!

I've just pushed a new update live for Pogostuck. It does not include new content but has been in the works for ages still. It uses a new system to establish P2P connections from lobbies. Dead lobbies where you cannot establish connections to most if not all other players (indicated by an X in the live ranking) should be a thing of the past now. Now that the lobby owner does not dictate the player list anymore it was necessary to rewrite the rubber band syncing code. Should you experience issues with this or stumble upon another major bug please let me know! Please note that the new version is incompatible with the old version, so players on different versions might not see each other and rubber bands may break or not function at all. When trying to play with friends please make sure you are all running the new version (you can check the version in the Misc Options menu). Apart from this rewrite the update includes some bug fixes, internal work to prepare for Map 3 as well as a new button in the Multiplayer (Friends) menu to join a different lobby.
