## What is Agoro Pocket?

Agoro Pocket is an original handheld console that lives in your phone — a tactile shell with a D-pad, A and B buttons and a real cartridge slot, holding a growing library of small games you can actually finish.

FOUR CARTRIDGES

SANKOFA QUEST — free · 12 stages
Guide the African-diaspora-inspired Wayfinder across four changing worlds, following the backward-looking Sankofa bird to each gate. Choose Save Mode for automatic on-device checkpoints, or Original Mode for the full one-sitting challenge.

MEMORY PATH — free · 9 stages
Match the symbols and hold the pattern in your head. A quieter cartridge for a short sitting.

KORA BEAT — 9 stages
A rhythm trail run over a synthesized kora groove. Every note is judged against the music itself, not a stopwatch, so the timing feels like playing along rather than racing a clock. Stage one is free to try before you buy.

MARKET DASH — 9 stages
Accra after dark. A faster, night-lit sprint through the market.

GHOST RACE
Race a friend over the same stage. You both start at the same instant, each phone runs its own run, and your rival appears beside you as a ghost. First one through the gate wins. No account, no friend list — just a four-character room code.

GAME CENTER
Kora Beat posts your best runs to Game Center leaderboards, if you want it to. It is entirely optional and the cartridge plays exactly the same with it switched off.

STOP WHENEVER YOU WANT
Every cartridge lets you leave a run and come back. Nothing holds you hostage to a session you no longer have time for.

NO ACCOUNTS, NO ADS, NO TRACKING
There is no sign-in, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking. Every game is bundled inside the app and plays completely offline. The two paid cartridges are optional one-time purchases — never a subscription, and never a bundle that makes you pay twice for something you already own.

BUILT TO BE HELD
Responsive touch controls, variable-height jumping, optional haptic feedback and a reduced-motion setting. Designed around the constraints and tactile appeal of late-1980s pocket handhelds.

ORIGINAL WORK
All names, code, level design, artwork, music and presentation are original. Agoro Pocket is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any other handheld console or game.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.5.1 — 2026-10-12

Maintenance update.

### 1.5 — 2026-09-05

FOUR CARTRIDGES IN THE LIBRARY

KORA BEAT — a new rhythm cartridge, nine stages over a synthesized kora groove. Notes are judged against the music itself rather than a stopwatch, with three difficulty tiers and a timing calibration screen. Stage one is free to try; the rest is one optional one-time purchase.

MEMORY PATH — a new free cartridge. Match the symbols, hold the pattern, nine stages.

GHOST RACE — race a friend over the same stage with a four-character room code. You both start at the same instant and your rival runs beside you as a ghost. Also works as a Memory Duel on Memory Path.

STOP WHENEVER YOU WANT — every cartridge now lets you leave a run and come back, including mid-stage.

GAME CENTER — optional leaderboards for your best Kora Beat runs.

FIXES — the race clock now runs on the wall clock, so backgrounding the app can no longer pause your own timer; a paused rival is shown as paused instead of frozen in place; and the desktop layout of the web version was rebuilt.

Sankofa Quest and Memory Path are free and stay free. Nothing in Sankofa Quest is ever paywalled.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-25

NEW CARTRIDGE: Market Dash — a complete second game, a nine-stage quest through Accra after dark, available as one optional one-time purchase. Sankofa Quest stays completely free, offline, with nothing to buy to finish it. Adds RESTORE PURCHASES to the library and fixes an island-stage collision.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-18

No release notes.
