Agreed with everyone that some sort of tutorial would be nice :) Those can be really hard to fit in during a jam, obviously, but just a list of rules on the itch page would be fine.

There seems like a lot of depth here, but I was only able to get fragments - like, all the creatures on both sides seem to have unique movement/attack patterns, and could both move and do “actions” (although those didn’t seem to have any effect?), and there seemed to be two separate phases, though I could do things in both? There’s a lot happening all at once, haha. I wasn’t really able to properly enjoy the game because I spent the whole time squinting at it.

That aside, the art is colourful and fun, and the vocal sound effects are really cute. And like I said, the gameplay does appear to have some interesting & strategic mechanics to it… I just don’t know how to engage with those mechanics unfortunately.

Nice work overall - would be interested to see a post-jam or even just play a version with a list of rules somewhere!

I agree with the other comments that the tutorial or game description could explain the gameplay a bit better. But the art style is lovely! :)

The art style is damn awesome well i can't understand the gameplay but it's looking visual one of the best so 5/5 for Artwork...


By the way, if possible then try my game also

The art is very cute, but I cannot understand anything going on in the game. It just feels like I can arbitrarily move some pieces without clear reasoning for why.

The art is nice! I have no idea what's going on. You could add some info into the description section to help people out!

Love the artstyle!

Interesting idea, I needed some more guidance on how to play though.

Really cute art style but I couldn't figure out how to play the game!

Definitely like the art style, it has a nice storybook aesthetic. I'm not really sure how to play it though, I think something was broken about it. Good effort!

it would be great if we have more guidance

Love the art style. There’s so much potential here! Although, it took me a little while to figure out what each frog’s power was and how the enemies move, so adding a quick guide to the page description would be super helpful. Great job and good luck!
