Usage

Standard Use

• If less than 10 spaces have been bounced with it already: Bounce 2-4 spaces forward.
• If 10 or more spaces have been bounced with it already: Randomly either bounce 2-4 spaces forward OR spring the amount of spaces bounced plus 5-15 more spaces back (in one action).

• The chance to spring back increases every time the Pogo-Stick is used.

Event Use

• Give to the Damaged Construct of the Archaeology Dig. Counts as 1 item.
• Use against the Dune Guard of the Dungeon Crawl.

• Does more damage with more spaces previously bounced; exact equation is unknown.

• Use against The Bear!.

• With 9 or less spaces bounced: Move 2-4 spaces forward, also the ACME Pogo-Stick is kept with the bounced amount for the event added to the item's bounce count.
• With 10 or more spaces bounced: The bear kills you, also the ACME Pogo-Stick is lost.

Other Item Use

• ACME Magnet; In addition to attracting the Pogo-Stick, it has a chance to Incapacitate you.

Strategy

• Use the skill Man Mode before using the Pogo-Stick, so you can move more than 10 spaces without the risk of being send backwards.
• Don't use stolen Pogo-Sticks without checking the log with Ctrl+F for uses since they may have been used already. For the same reason, don't buy them at the Pawn Shop if they were sold by another player.
• You can fix your Pogo-Stick with the Spanner.
  • Since the Spanner has a 6 turns cooldown, you'll be able to move 10 spaces every 6 turns.
