Game Description
Help frogs eat (consume), if you're not a good enough leader you are fired!
How does your game tie into the theme?
The frogs consume flies and if they don't "you get fired" (they die). Doesn't really fit, but it was originaly supposed to be alians in space consuming planets but I changed it to this and didn't thing little frog deaths would fit the style of the game lol.

Liked the game but, it's true that you can kinda cheese it by spamming in the right timing haha. The idea is really fun tho! Congrats on the submission :)
If you push all the buttons at the same time and find the rhythm, the mouths are perma open. Faster flies mean faster reload, so the food only increases over time this way. Maybe letting only one frog eat at a time or counting the food per frog would make more sense in balancing the game?
The idea is neat though and key remapping is a quality feature often overlooked!
I think I hurt myself playing this, ahaha.
I was just mashing all buttons at once and now my wrist hurts.
It's a great idea and once you get into late game it's so hectic how fast they are flying at you, I think you may need to penalize points if the frog tries to eat and there is nothing there.
I like the little song that plays and all the art is charming. Nice work.
Very cute game. There has to be a downside to opening a frog's mouth, it is easy to spam everything currently. Alos, trying to time four frogs is too overwhelming for me.
Nice game! I like the interesting approach to rhythm games. One issue I noticed - you can spam all four frogs at the same time, which makes it impossible to lose. I think there should be some delay between the frogs eating flies. You can also bind all frogs to the same button, which makes this even easier.
Great idea and execution. I had a fun time mashing the keyboard and gobbling up as many flies as I could.
Interesting idea, was expecting it to be a bit more of a rhythm game with how the frogs were laid out.
Had a good time rolling my face across my keyboard to catch all the flies though!
Face rolling is the best strategy and thus what the frogs want!
Cute entry. I was expecting a tongue to shoot out when you press the keys, but the SFX of the frog was fun. I also liked how your score went up or down if you missed flies. Similar to other folks, figured out the pressing all keys which breaks things. Could be fun if you had that unlock another mode where it didn’t actually break things but also understand content is probably the hardest with the length of time.
I didn't really want to remove the spam method because it's so funny to me and partly because I didn't think everyone would figure it out so quickly.
I'm so happy with the SFX , I was lucky to find the perfect one.
Originally there was health but I figured this was more fun and would make for a longer runs.
Cute!
Cute twist on the rythm style game, spamming all the keys breaks it though haha
Keep it up!
Thank you!
I didn't think everyone would realise the exploit lol
Fun game! I like the concept of being able to control multiple frogs at once. I also appreciate that you provided the option to remap the button inputs!
However, I also noticed the same thing as CCadori; pressing all the keys repeatedly makes it really easy to catch the flies.
Overall, though, nice work!
The first day I realised I had no idea what inputs to put, so I figured it was most likely other ppl would like to change it since not even I was 100% on board with my inputs.
The all key spam isn't a bug it's a feature, you're a good hunter for finding it :)
The graphics are cute, and the main mechanics are fun and easy to understand.
I eventually discovered a little trick: pressing all the keys at once. You can catch almost all the flies this way. Sorry about that 😅
Congrats on your entry!
This little trick was how I played with the spawn times, speed etc. to balance it out I noticed it early on and thought it was so funny I decided to leave it and see how many ppl would figure it out lol.
