Whoops, it's not Saturday!? Sorry for the delayed update post! I had some family in town for the weekend and honestly just sort of lost track of time. I've been working on the "Final Level" and related cutscenes, and it's pretty exciting getting close to a "completed" game. There's still a bit of work to do before it's ready for release, but it's all coming along pretty well so far! There's no visible changes to write about this week. I'll be going on a vacation starting Wednesday for 8 days, so the next update post will come out on April 9. The plan is to have working versions of the final level & cutscenes as part of that release, but the official "1.0" will be at a later date after I've finished the completionist cutscenes and some other features & polish I've had on my backlog.

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