POLE: A Hilariously Chaotic 2D Platformer

POLE isn’t your average platformer. This quirky 2D adventure throws you into a world bizarrely warped from 2D to 3D, armed with nothing but a…pole. Yes, a stick. But don’t let the simple premise fool you. Mastering POLE’s unique mechanics requires skill and patience.

Using arrow keys, you’ll “pole-jump” off walls, ceilings, and floors, navigating 22 levels of increasingly challenging gameplay. Expect to spend 2-12 hours depending on your prowess, collecting sprites, uncovering secrets, and encountering a cast of hilariously bizarre characters. And if frustration boils over, unleash your rage with a dedicated “rage button”—a feature as unique as the game itself.

The game’s charm extends beyond its gameplay. The included transcripts from the game’s development reveal a chaotic, last-minute scramble, hinting at a mysterious, redacted element added just before release. The resulting system anomaly (indicated by the game’s opening warning) adds a layer of playful mystery. What is this redacted element? What secrets lie within the levels? The game encourages exploration to find out.

POLE’s difficulty is intentionally vague, promising a challenge without revealing its true extent. Are you ready to master the pole, uncover the secrets, and conquer the levels? The developers dare you to try. Just remember: never give up.
