Pogo Pete

Pogo Pete is a platform game about a character named Pete who uses a pogo stick to burst all the balloons on each screen. Bursting a balloon causes an item or an alien to fall. Items can be collected for points or special effects, while aliens become active upon reaching the ground. To progress to the next screen, the player must burst all balloons, collect any remaining items, and obtain a key from one of the balloons.

The player controls Pete as he bounces across platforms, aiming to burst balloons by colliding with them. Falling items include apples (for points), letters that spell "BONUS" (which reset Pete's meters when completed), and power-ups like the power pill (which neutralizes alien attacks), concussion pill (resets the concussion meter), and disease pill (resets the disease meter). Aliens become hostile after touching the ground. Two meters at the top of the screen track Pete's concussion level (increased by hitting platforms) and disease level (increased by alien bites); reaching the limit on either results in game over.
