This week I spent my time primarily working on end-game cinematics & stuff related to the final level. It's all still work-in-progress, so I don't have anything to show off quite yet. I also started working on 2 more levels, which will probably be ready by next week. There's just a little bit more work to do before PogoChamp can exit Early Access and officially "1.0", so if you've got any feedback or level ideas, let me know!

I thought "PogoChamp" was a pretty good pun, so I spent a few thousand hours making a game around it...
