How does the game fit the theme?
In Kero Kata, players control frogs hopping across a tile-based floor, collecting eggs and racing back to their nest. The game plays like Onitama, with each frog's movement determined by a shared deck of cards. The player can risk it by collecting more eggs at once or drawing cards that might give an advantage or disadvantage.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Some of the visual feedbacks, couple of 3D models, the music and sounds

It looks very nice and plays well albeit a little slow. Also, in the embedded window its a little hard to see the cards, maybe add a fullscreen button?

Developer

Thanks for the feedbacks, we'll look into adding a fullscreen button C:

It’s an option in itch. No need to modify the game files.

What a beautiful game! So well put together, super clean.

I managed to beat it, I think it's a game of errors and making the right choices with the luck you get, then praying to the gods of the cards you get something helpful.

Really well done!

Thank you! Yes it's similar to Balatro in that sense, the game throws cards at you and now you gotta make the best out of them C:

This was super relaxing and easy to pick up. Great work!

Fun game. Very well executed

Ahh good ol’ Onitama, but frog. Really cute art. The egg collecting is meaningfully different than getting your master across the board, but it more feels like an alternate game mode than something new. Definitely wish there was like an animation speed slider cause it all moves like suuuper slow imo, but it’s otherwise fun. Would be more fun against a person I imagine. It seemed like the gambit cards were always swap or pesticide and always alternating in that order?

Really great looking, and good implementation of a (modern) classic board game. Nice work :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedbacks! Due to time we had to cut down on the amount of cards implemented, they should be random but considering it's only two of them it makes sense they'd alternate. Turning it into a pvp game would be great!

Kero Kero 😊great entry, so cozy it slows you down to enjoy the vibe of the game and plan your next move carefully. Well done, full stars!

If you find the time, I'd appreciate your feedback on our game.

Really enjoyed playing! Sadly, I didnt have any audio on my end though (Maybe there is none?). But besides that, it was really cool

Developer

Love the visuals and the gameplay so much. You guys designed a very innovative, neat mechanics for the chess game, and the theme is so lovely. I can easily understand what's going on and what I should do in a few seconds, and just can't stop playing it. Great work!

Developer

Amazing game with very easy to understand rules. Looks great visually as well, and the soundtrack added to the vibes of a chill, strategy game.

I could say many things, but I would just be parroting the rest of the comments. So uhm... croak? But yeah, amazing game, especially for 3 person team.

Developer

croak works just fine xD thank you!

Submitted(+2)

I've never played the game this was based on, but you communicated the rules very well and I was able to pick it up immediately!

The visuals and audio were relaxing and well-done.

An idea for expanding it is to allow more than 2 players (assuming that doesnt break the logic)


Developer(+1)

thanks for the feedbacks and suggestion! We haven’t thought about adding more than 2 players but that’s definitely worth exploring C:

Incredible! Gorgeous looking, with neatly fitting music and sfx, and very well designed gameplay mechanics. I love strategy games and this was right up my alley. Keep it up!
