Game Over View:-

    GoJoe has been grounded again by mum, just as the Travelling Circus rolls into town.  But he sneaks off to check it out anyway.  Inside the Big Top, he comes across a huge cannon filled with sweats.   A temptation to great to pass up, GoJoe fires it to the dismay of a group of now angry clowns.

     So take control of GoJoe and collect all the lollies form each level whiles avoiding the angry clowns.  Collect power orbs to transform GoJoe into Mega Joe, a fast, mean green hulk like beast that loves to squash anything that gets in his way.

     GoJoe is a new fast paced 3D action game, very much along the lines of old classics like paceman and Q-Bit, with a little touch of our humour thrown in for good measure. GoJoe PoGo is great, wholesome entertainment that the whole family can enjoy any time of the day.

Development History:-

    The original GoJoe demo was entered into the Dark Basic Retro Comp back in April 2003.  It took us 2 weeks to put together and used a very cut back version of our Tito Engine.  It ended up coming in 9th and won us a copy of Dark Basic Pro.

     We then showed the demo to a few publisher and got a mostly positive response back.  So we spent another 6 weeks making the full game.  We brought in another 3d modeller, Dave and had some new original music put together from a locale guy here called Ralph.  We put together another 14 levels and added a number of new clowns.  We added the picture books and then signed it to a small publisher in the UK.  Things where looking sweat :)  A few weeks after another publisher offered us $6k up front for it.  But with the contract signed, we had to turn then down (or did we?).

     Anyway, over the next 4 months, Gojoe been slowly selling steadily.  But we have now decided to try and re-launch a new improved version ourselves.  GoJoe V1.2 features a few much needed improvements and a cheaper price tag.  We still think its a fun little game and believe that there is life left in it. While working back on this new version, it has inspired us to start work on GoJoe V2.  We will keep you up to date on its future development.

GoJoe Media:-

    ...As with all Dimsdale & Kreozot games, GoJoe Pogo has its own unique presentation: the graphics and the sound are equally hilarious.  If nothing else you should treasure this for its peculiar comedy appearance.

    What do you get if you take the pill eating escapades of pacman, swap the pills for sweets and cakes and change the ghosts into clowns - oh, and then swap the maze for a Q-Bert style isometric grid? Well meet GoJoe and his trust PoGo stick! This game is a rather innovative blend of the two and while not strictly a retro remake it does contain enough of the titles mentioned to be included here.
