 * Left and right button - Change the angle of the player (Browser)

Gameplay
The player controls a constantly bouncing pogo stick with a character on it and can move the pogo stick by tilting it, which will cause the pogo stick to bounce in the direction the player's character is pointing when the stick hits the ground. How the player is positioned determines how far the player jumps and how high. The player's character will die if its body impacts any part of the stage or falls off the stage.

The level based mode has a lives system in the form of pogo sticks, with the player given three lives upon starting this mode for the first time. The player loses a live whenever the player character dies, and this mode cannot be played without the player at least having one life. The player can obtain lives by watching a video advertisement, paying five coins, or by collecting lives in the game's endless mode.
