Atop The Leaderboard
Do you have what is takes to bounce yourself to the top of the leaderboard?
Welcome to the game where the Leaderboard is the game. Use your championship Pogo Stick skills to climb the Leaderboard entries to reach for the gold medal. Should you falter in one of the danger zones, you'll be able to leave your mark for the next contender.
Content warning: the leaderboard entries are not moderated and may contain vulgarities.
Controls
You control Alfred with only your mouse. Right click to charge your pogo stick to bounce yourself off of walls and obstacles. Alfred has the strength to slide on to a wall with a single hand, so be sure to use that to your advantage on your climb.

Let's erase this world=)
Get your name up there and I’ll think about it ;)
Do you feel a sense of pride and accomplishment?
Ok I made it to the top for real this time.
That was hard.
There you are in gold, congrats!
I have finally made it to the top. Now, let's erase this world=)
does the death crawl get faster as time goes on?
It does not, the only height based difficulty feature is the pressure that comes with progress ;)
I may have missed it, but have you played the game on stream? I always enjoy watching a live reaction.
we did not, it was sorely missed. considering getting off our butts and making a youtube video about this jam because we have some things to say. this was a really impressive entry.
Ah no worries, it’s a Herculean task to go through all the submissions in that small of a time period (and still give them due attention). Let me know about the video - I’d love to see it!
Incredibly hard, but extremely well done. I honestly appreciate everything about this game, even the frustration it has brought, well done.
Thank you! Perseverance is it's own reward when patience is your biggest enemy haha
well said 🤣
