Poghost

A spookily cute 2D platformer where players must gather ingredients for their upcoming Halloween party.

Created for the Valla 2026 Game Jam.

Main Goals and Mechanics:

As the main goal, the player must gather ingredients and decorations for their upcoming Halloween party and place them in the main room of the house for the party to begin.

There are two main mechanics as set by the theme for the Game Jam: 

• Walk Through Walls
• High Jumps.

As such, the player controls a ghost that travels by pogo stick. They can leave the pogo as desired to be able to walk through walls, with the downside that they are linked to it, and thus slower the further away they are from it.

As the pogo stick is a material object, it can't accompany the ghost when moving through walls.

Slight epilepsy warning when finishing the game and triggering the party

Controls:

A & D / Left & Right ARROW KEYS to Move
W or Space to Fly as a ghost or Jump
E or Left CTRL to  drop the Pogo
