Indie publisher Ratalaika Games, alongside one manned developer Ohsat Games, is happy to announce a cutesy platformer, which has been single handedly created. Go! Go! PogoGirl, planned for release on 10th of February, 2023 to PC Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Microsoft Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch, priced at $4.99 / €4.99.

Isn’t She lovely?

PogoGirl is a pogo champion living on Pogo Island. She’s fun-loving, happy and easy-going but one fateful night, her favourite pogo stick is stolen from its case. Distressed, Pogo Girl grabs a spare pogo stick and gives chase, bouncing after the thief throughout the night and day – across the whole island in order to get her treasure back and strive to do the right thing by helping others. So the exciting adventure begins and an impressive challenge unfolds.

Straight to the Point

Go! Go! PogoGirl takes place across the four seasons, with each season comprising four levels plus a boss level.

Four Seasons

The developer commented, ‘The season theme was chosen to imply that the game takes place over a long stretch of time, as PogoGirl is hunting down the thief who stole her favourite pogo stick. The time of day within the seasons will also change, with the first level of a season taking place in the morning and the boss level taking place at night.’

Clever design work is implemented in such a way that players can find good routes for speed-running and things are never that easy. Those who want to take their time exploring will find hidden gems behind fake walls and lots more. Exploration is encouraged as care has been taken so that players can freely explore the levels without fear of getting lost! As the game plays check out some of the familiar backdrops, inspired from classic 90s titles. Once you’ve beaten the last boss, an additional bonus world with 5 more levels is unlocked but there is a long way to go before you get to this stage.

More Than Just Jumping

As is familiar for classic 2D platformers, the main goal is just to reach the end of each level. However, the game employs a task system for added challenges. In each level you can achieve three extra goals:

1) Collecting all 100 gems in a level.

2) Finding all 3 hidden gems in a level.

3) Beating the level without dying.

Each of these goals will award players with a pogo medal, and if you collect all the medals in the game (including the bonus levels you unlock after beating it once), you will unlock a low gravity cheat, making PogoGirl bounce super high. Finally, players can also enable a timer in the game to speedrun it.

Winner Takes All

As well as completing all the set levels and going onto unlock additional ones there are lots of other unlockables, surprises on offer. In truth, just like some old school games that have mystery finds and hidden cheats, Go! Go! PogoGirl recreates the excitement of finding secrets you did not expect!

Controlling the Music

Slick and responsive controls are the order of the day and some nice music and sound effects present a stomping-retro experience to be had by all!

“My main goal with this game was to spread that same sort of naive joy I experienced when playing platformers in the 90s. To that end, I did my best to recreate the polish and charm these games had, going so far as to implement actual push-button cheats. I hope you enjoy bouncing around PogoGirl’s colourful retro world!” – Andrej Preradovic, Ohsat Games.

Go! Go! PogoGirl is a pogo-powered platformer that will bounce you back into the 90s with gems, enemies, spikes and secrets.

Stuttgart, Germany – February 2nd, 2023 – ININ Games, together with TAITO Corporation, is happy to finally reveal two new features of Bub and Bob’s new adventure, which will officially release digitally on May 23rd, 2023 for Nintendo Switch, with a boxed edition available for preorder at Iningames.com!

One vs. One Online Multiplayer

In this new Puzzle Bobble title, you will be able to play one vs. one online battles against players from all over the world. Ratings and classes will go up or down depending on the results of your wins and losses, so improve your skills and aim for a higher class!

Using the “Password Matching” function, you’ll also be able to play online with friends anywhere in the world– as long as they, too, have set up the password!

Online play requires a (paid) subscription to “Nintendo Switch Online.”

On Friday, February 3rd, TAITO will release a video featuring some details of the online battle mode, actual gameplay, and a message from the development staff and from the title’s protagonist, Bub. The video will premiere on Bub’s YouTube channel, “Bub’s Broadcast,” starting at 11:00 CET on Friday, with English subtitles. Before that time, a short trailer is available for you at the same link, starting from today, 14:00 CET.

PUZZLE BOBBLE VS SPACE INVADERS

But that’s not all! Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! also includes a very special game crossover: PUZZLE BOBBLE VS SPACE INVADERS, perfect to celebrate the 45th anniversary of one of the games that made arcade history, and, to be fair, most of our childhoods. In this mode, players try to erase the bubble-encapsulated Invaders by stacking three or more bubbles of the same color together, whilst avoiding the Invaders’ shots. Bubbles can only be fired straight up, so players have to move their characters left and right, just like in the universally beloved arcade game.

Up to four players can play cooperatively.

To find out more about the latest chapter of TAITO’s universally-beloved series, you can visit Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! official website, ININ’s Game Page, or the official “Bub’s Broadcast” channel on YouTube!

ININ’s social media channels also provide periodic updates and additional information on this bubbly release!
