Bobo the Pogo Stick
Bobo is a sentient pogo stick and he must defeat his nemeses - the dreaded rubber bouncy balls! Progress through the vertical, randomly generated stages while racing against time. Defeat the rubber toy balls to add seconds to the timer!
How To Play
To start the game, click on the START text on the title screen.
You begin the game with 30 seconds on the clock. Move Bobo with the ARROW KEYS. Use SPACE BAR to perform a dive and use CTRL to cancel the dive.
Bounce on enemies to defeat them and add more seconds to the timer. Touching enemies from their sides or from below them will cause you to bounce off them and cost you time. Stomp multiple enemies in a row to rack up your combo counter and earn even more time.
Tips
- Your combo counter resets if you touch the ground (the pink tiles). However, bouncing on bubbles will NOT reset the combo counter, so use this to your advantage to rack up higher combos and earn more time.
- The timer counts down faster when you progress to later phases, so be sure to rack up plenty of time early on to make things easier later.
- Using the dive move to defeat enemies will rack up more time than just bouncing on them normally.
- Some bubbles will contain power-ups. Grabbing a single type of power-up won't do much alone, but grabbing multiple of the same type will multiply their effect.
- Certain power-ups in bubbles might hinder you rather than help you.
- Hitting the ground while performing the down thrust will stir up dust clouds. These dust clouds can also be used to pop bubbles.
