Pongo reviews

Translated by
Microsoft from Deutsch
"Pongo" is a First-person platformer. In a colorfully childlike comic world consisting of a lot of Sea and some Islands, we get a Pogo rod pressed into the Hand and are allowed to bounce to the Exit in each Level. We should remain as far as possible on the Islands and avoid Enemy Contact. The Enemies are always colorful, sometimes cubic, sometimes airfilse-shaped, sometimes butterfly like, some even shelling you. As an Enemy Measure, we can switch to a Kind of Weapon that we use to fire the bad Boys. Or we don't care about the Self-employed at all and just run through it. The Latter is also the Main Intention of the Title. The Levels should be completed as quickly as possible, the best Time is always rubbed under your Nose. By the way, a pogo stick Or Jumping stick-for the Younger Ones-is the strange Device on which you stand on it and then catapults you up again by Compressed Air. In most Cases, this toy, invented in the 1920s and especially popular in the 1960s, can be found in private Video Clips, in which Family members suffer from protracted and painful, sometimes production-impaired Injuries. So a pogo staff ... Well, not really such a stupid Idea. The Levels are quite nicely built, the Graphics are family-friendly, the Sound also motivationally driving. Very rudimentary everything, but you can make. One could, if the Controls played along. You can get used to the Fact that You have to charge the jump strength quickly and The switching on and Off of the automatic Jump Mode makes perfect sense. But That the Pogostick just slides on, even if you don't do anything anymore, is extremely problematic. In General, the Controls, whether with a Keyboard or Controller, feel strangely spongy. Although you can increase the Sensitivity of what you should do as much as possible, the Control will never be directly. This makes the actually sympathetic Play unnecessarily difficult and-at least for me with my limited Skills-also unnecessarily frustful. Too Bad about it.
