About Pogglewash

Pogglewash is a casual 3rd person platformer and shooter. You play as DIPPER, a robot who’s sent to an alien planet named Pogglerock, home to the Pogglewonks, Gloons, and Wubaroos. Unfortunately, the planet is completely covered in goop, but the Pogglewonks don’t have the hands to clean it with. That’s why DIPPER’s mission is to clean it up with his water gun! DIPPER cleans his way through and restores this beautiful alien landscape, helping and being helped by the Pogglewonks in turn, and receiving shiny star-shaped crystals for his efforts. Just be careful around those idyllic shores! Robots aren’t very good at swimming, after all.

A wholesome toddler-ish vibrant themed platformer. Definitely recommended if you have a kid around in the family/friends taking your PC to play some games. Can be completed easily under half an hour I had to take a delivery and prepare fast food to take some break while minutes counted in the game that's why I have close to 50 minutes mark. Controls can be a little rough around the edges but I got used to it in few minutes and I am sure you will too. It is bug-free. Good luck in your careers devs, well done!

This game has a few things going for it. It's a cute little 3D platformer about cleaning up the area and helping the wildlife. The game plays pretty well, it's relatively smooth to move and shoot. It looks decent considering that it's a student game. However... there are some negatives that ultimately outweighed the positives. 1 - The game *does* play well, but some of the platforming, especially the flowers that spring you into the air, just kind of sucks. 2 minutes into the game, and I was having trouble doing what I assume is tutorial level platforming. This issue probably wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for... 2 - The game is just janky when it comes to performance and the game stuttered graphically the entire time. A lot of other reviews have said that they had issues running the game properly, and I can understand where they are coming from. The game *does* look nice, but it comes at a cost. That cost is: overall fun, and the potential to have some people simply not be able to play the game at all. If it had been optimized to a much higher degree, there would have been no issues, but as it stands, the game is just janky. I don't know... if you're REALLY looking f…

Cute little game of spraying away goop and simple platforming! Great environmental design and character animation. Of course it's short (as student project games usually are) but there's solid personality there. Hope the Dev(s) are working on bigger and better things now!

Very short game, but I enjoyed my time with it.

Recommended Jun 1, 2026

It is a charming, short indie platformer with simple puzzle elements and no enemies. If you enjoy this kind of game, you might also like The Gunk.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.
