Fwog is a platforming challenge that will test the mettle of even the most experienced platformer enthusiasts! It requires complete mastery of the charged jump mechanic, as you cannot walk to reposition yourself where you best see fit - you can only hop. Be prepared to attempt each stage repeatedly, only to fall just as often.

-You cannot walk!
Fwogs don't walk - they hop and jump! The only way to reposition yourself is to hop a short distance away, making it impossible to position yourself exactly where you want nor identically to where your previous attempt was, forcing you to master the charge timing mechanic!
-Prepare for high-stakes, ridiculously precise platforming!
The only way to move forward is to fall and fall again, learning lessons with each failure! The further you make it in each stage, the more you put on the line with each jump you take.
-Hold to charge, release to jump away!
In time, you will become the master of the simple act of holding down a button (for a precise period of time!), and once you let go, there is no turning back.
-New worlds come with a new set of challenges!
As if the jumps themselves weren't hard enough on their own, new challenging mechanics are introduced with each new world! Disappearing platforms, slippery platforms, powerful winds that change how the jump behaves, and much more!
-Collect fellow fwogs to unlock new skins!
Looking for even more difficulty!? Complete optional but even harder jumps and beat the stage to unlock new skins and earn bragging rights!
Each death is tallied, so you can easily track which of your friends is doing better than you
Challenge your friends to test their mettle
Tough but entirely skill-based gameplay
Progress between each stage is auto-saved
-Pixel sprites and a myriad of animations
-Hand drawn pixel backgrounds
-Incredible OST by Cloudroad Music
You've spent hours to finally reach this stage's final jump. According to our data, it's over 9000 attempts on just this one stage! Will you make it, or will you choke and start the level over for the 9001st time?
