Freeware Game Pick: Skullpogo (ChevyRay)
Skullpogo is a score-based action game which involves stomping on vampire bats and pigs to keep your combo meter going while leveling up before time runs out.
Use the cursor keys to move and set your bounce height. Stomp on every single power orb when they appear to increase your level, indicated by the reddish gauge on the top right of the screen. Power ups will also spawn more frequently as the level count increases, although certain collectibles do more to hinder players from chaining combos instead of assisting them with it.

This is a great game in my opinion... well concepted, designed and developed. And who doesn't like pogo-ing on vampire pigs?

This looks great, I love platform action games that let you 'freestyle' a little. However, from the footage, it doesn't look like youc can take damage, that would've been a nice touch; to have enemies attack you as you try to keep your bounce going.

believe me its better that way...that would destory the game mechanics completely.
(cause you jump from the bottom through the bats and destroying them with your pogostick as you jump on them...if touching would causing damage this wouldnt work)
its perfect as it is.

Anybody who downloaded the game before October 10 should re-download from the links provided.
There has been a few updates.
1) You can now use UP and DOWN to scroll through the top 100 scores in the game's online score screen.
2) An error that causes the game to sometimes crash has been fixed.
Thanks for playing, guys. Glad you like it. :)

hint 1:
there are 5 levels and in each level your time is limited.
so...only collect the level up bubbles when the time is nearly over and not instantly
when it appears. that way you maximize your playtime cause when you enter the next level your time meter will be refilled.
hint 2:
there are several power ups and one is a combo maximizer. its the one with a face innit.
collect it and then kill the bats and/or pigs shown at the bottom in the right order to get massive combo points.
