by Jim Smale · Published February 9, 2023 · Updated February 9, 2023

For our Go! Go! PogoGirl Review is a dynamic, cute, and wholesome platformer about a girl and her pogo stick.
Bounce your way through the world, collect gems, and then bounce some more! It’s a love letter to 1990s-era platformers with colorful graphics, idle animations, and fluid gameplay. The game even features secret push-button codes like in the old days. Never stop bouncing, and never stop platforming.

Summary

Go! Go! PogoGirl is going for the retro feel from pixel art graphics to the bright 90s color palette. It’s a platformer where you are on a pogo stick so you are always jumping, it sounds fun but it can get tedious, especially when facing a boss who jumps, oh and the whole one-hit death thing unless you get lucky and find a shield to add an additional hit. The platforming is very basic and whilst it does get more intricate later on adding in breakable platforms, balloons and that the platforming still never feels that different. It’s a game that outstays its welcome a few times but it is easy enough so if you need a feel-good I finished a game moment then this is fine or if you want an easy Platinum trophy.
