Amazing stuff all around with the art and the music and how good it feels to flap,  the disquieting atmosphere seems very simple, and then BAM! you're hit with why the camera moves as it does...


Good job!

Hey great job on this one! For a while I was like why are they panning the camera so slowly instead of having it just follow the player? But there was this ominous quality to it and then I found out why haha...

Nice art! Loved the character/frog art but special mention to the low-fidelity background art, it actually had me thinking of samurai jack! The frog jumpscare got me good, great balance of art, animation and audio in that moment. My only gripe is that there's no checkpoint at the frog as the start is very simple and (due to the screen lock) tedious on multiple tries. Otherwise though this is a masterful jam game, love it.

Pretty nice game. Maybe would be better if you add some dangerous obstacles. but still nice like audio and effects

Love the weight you have flying around, and the little skaddadle you do as you run. The frog jumpscare got me bad lol. After dying a couple times I do wish I could push the first section forward faster by moving to the right on my own if that makes sense.

Textured terror, sketchy UI, and high-speed wing flapping? My lab coat is flapping with excitement!

What I Loved:

  • Tardiiart’s visuals? Gritty, grungy, gorgeous. Loved the hand-drawn vibe and buttery-smooth animation.
  • ZapSplat’s sound design was haunting, like being chased by my own regrets (or a toad with teeth).
  • Controls, gravity, camera, all masterfully handled by givemeskeletons. The chase segments? Adrenaline in digital form!

Needed a Little Serum:

  • Died with 66 flies… and had to start over. My screams echoed through the lab. A checkpoint system would’ve been excellent.

Conclusion A beautiful, freaky, high-tension flight that feels handcrafted with love, doom, and flies. Add checkpoints, and it’s near perfect.

This project is very well-done; the frog actually made me jump... Awesome job.

Wow! This game was really good. Feels very polished and well made for the short time limit of the jam. The graphics are really charming, and the huge frog looked great too. The movement is surprisingly responsive. I didn't expect the flapping to feel so good, since it's usually really difficult to make the player feel in control when doing that type of movement. Well done. Also the sounds are good. Solid entry!

Simple game, I dont know if there's an end, or if its endless cuz it seems handcrafted but ill say the game feels a bit slow and it really tested my patience when I had to retry.

Here's some ways I think you can improve: faster movement, bigger firefly collecting hitbox.

But for the good stuff I like that the frog is portrayed as a giant beast in your perspective, very thrilling when it first appears. Sound design and the little rotations when moving felt very satisfying.

Good job with the game!

The gameplay was simple but very enjoyable, and I adored the artstyle.
