The gameplay in Pogochamp is characterized by its depth and challenge, featuring 101 levels that effectively teach players the nuances of movement mechanics while providing a variety of experiences. The controls, while initially awkward, become rewarding as players master the pogo mechanics, and the game offers additional modes like survival and daily challenges for extra variety. Overall, the combination of solid controls, diverse level design, and a fair challenge system creates an engaging and entertaining experience that balances frustration with fun.

- “Solid controls give a good sense of control to the player without trivializing the movement mechanics.”
- “The pogo mechanics are extremely solid but hard to master.”
- “While it can be frustrating and hilarious at times to marvel at your own failures (particularly with the fantastic replay system), Pogochamp avoids the simple categorization of 'rage game' by segmenting the gameplay into individual levels, each with their own tactics, design, and gameplay.”
- “Don't be led astray by the simple looks - it's held up by a complex but clear movement system, tight gameplay, and well-crafted design that makes challenges feel fair.”

The graphics in the game are generally considered simplistic, with early levels sharing a similar aesthetic that can feel muddy in later stages. However, there is some variety introduced in thematic levels, which adds a unique style that compensates for the lack of high-end visuals. Overall, while not groundbreaking, the graphics possess a certain charm that resonates with players.
- “One caveat, though: although all the early levels tend to have an almost identical aesthetic, there is somewhat more variety later on, largely through certain thematic levels like the piano level (one of my favorites, featuring a piano you can play) and the breakout level (where you play the classic game breakout), just to name a few.”
- “I will say some of the later levels get a bit muddy aesthetically, leaning towards more realistic or open-world scenarios.”
- “The music and graphics are somewhat simplistic and the community around Pogochamp is very small at the time of the review.”
- “It might not have mind-blowing graphics, but it does have some 'style' which makes up for it.”

- “This isn't really a problem though since the game employs a star system that allows you to skip some levels based on your performance.”
- “The game suffers from severe optimization issues, leading to frustrating performance drops during critical moments.”
- “Despite its potential, the optimization feels rushed, resulting in inconsistent frame rates and long loading times.”
- “The lack of proper optimization makes it difficult to enjoy the game, as it frequently stutters and lags even on high-end systems.”
