I really like the vibe and look of this game. The game is also well-designed, though difficult! When the herons were onto me it felt exactly like running from the cops in GTA. VERY nice work!

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad that you had some fun with the game )

This is great game. It took me while to figure out how to start game. It would be great multiplier game for two like tricking storks or if someone messed up the other one will be croak to save situation which will put him in danger.  

Developer

Thank you! 

Huh! Great idea. I haven't thought about multiplayer at all!

I am terrible at this game, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it.  Love the animations and sounds.  I wish it was a little easier at the beginning - those herons got me every time.  Still, this was fun, while I lasted.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing ! 

You don't manage to win? Try to jump precisely on lilypads - herons won't hear you. Hope you had some fun )

At first, I didn't fully get the concept and the alignment to the task... But once I knew (by reading the comments/description) that enemies are attracted to the croak position, that's perfect. Really awesome concept! ___ Two suggestions: making these rules/goal clearer ingame and make the game a little bit easier (by reducing the enemy range and making the frog get back quicker to a jumpable position). Very well done!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback!

Yeah, the enemy's behavior needs some reworking, 100%. And it would be great if rules of the game were completely clear through the gameplay itself, you are right!

Welcome in Discovery Channel! Beautiful graphics and interesting mechanics. I enjoyed the jumping and that frog finds the leaf even you missed a jump. Maybe those birds could be a bit slower, because it got very tense after croaking. 

Developer

He-he, thank you!

Yeah, I will definitely tweak game difficulty after the jam (or in the next round). Glad, that you had fun )

What a nice little frogg... BIRDS! BIRDS! WAAHHHGHGHGH!

I liked this a lot. 

Developer

Thank you ))) Glad you had fun )

Those enemies are brutal :D one mistake and you get swarmed lol. Took me a few minutes and lots of deaths but finally managed to find a frogger friend. Overall pretty fun game, good job!

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you had some fun )

Love this game. Nailing the jumps is very rewarding!

Developer

Thank you! I'm very glad you had fun with the game )

The concept is nice. I wish I could jump quicker when the enemies are close because I need to click first and then click again, maybe aim with mouse and charge jump wit a button.

Developer

Thank you for comment!

This type of controls is somewhat intentional ) I wanted the player to panic and miss clicked. It would be too easy to outrun herons in other way .  Nevertheless, speed does not matter much - accuracy does. One-two precise jumps (right on lilypad) make you win the game )

I see. Maybe then make them not to one-shot you but rather the circle is yellow first and then you dead.

Developer

It is in the game already xD

When you are caught in a bird's circle (it turns red) , you have ~ 1s to jump away.

Submitted (1 edit)

I meant so it is not an instant dead when I'm in a circle already.
Maybe its me I didn't feel I have time to escape

Developer

hmmm, it's strange - it is not instant for me...

I'll check it after jam, thank you for feedback! )

This was fun! It's really cute and surprisingly hard. I was able to get to the other frog by just doing max jumps constantly towards it while running away from the herons lol. I tried playing it I think the correct way for a bit, but I got caught by the birds so fast each time. Great work on this!

Developer

Thank you for playing ! 

It doesn't sound like great work for me if correct way is not working ) Birds lose you if you manage to do one-two precise jumps. If you jump past the lilypads there will be a splash sound cue - and herons will hear it.

I'll try to tweak birds behavior after jam to more satisfying.

Submitted(+1)

this is such a cute simple concept! This needs to be expanded more

Developer

Thank you for playing )

Actually, I don't know if I want to expand this game or make a new one in the next round. I kinda like it small ) The game definitely needs some tweaking and polish, but... we need to proceed to the next round and look for theme )
