How did you incorporate the theme "UNSTABLE"?
The pond will sink when the storm arrives. The lilypads will start shaking and the 'floor' will start falling. I wanted to make a game inspired in floors falling down. That was my interpretation of Unstable topic, that the ground will eventually fall. You need to find all the frogs and take them to the big lotus before the storm sinks the pond. Fireflies will help you avoid the storm.

I love the little frogs :) I am not a good caretaker though

Perfect jam game imo, easy to pick up and play but enough challenge and depth to keep you engaged!

What a great game to play, you learn how to play it almost immediately. It’s creative, cute, and excellent; the soundtrack and sound effects fit perfectly with everything else. I really enjoyed playing this one.

Wow this game is really fun! I loved this. Simple and easy to understand. I liked the power ups and felt bad when I lost my frog friends D: Great job!

Holaaa, hay otro Colombiano aquí! Jajaja me alegra saber hay uno más de nosotros aquí. 

Me gusta lo muy bonito que quedó el juego, las mejoras le dan un plus adicional que me gustó mucho también. Fue muy creativa la manera de incorporar la mecánica y el ambiente del juego, hace que se sienta muy orgánico. Muy buen trabajo ;)

Very fun game. Kudos for making it easy to understand, which is not always easy to do in game jams (I'm personally guilty of this!). Really like the art style too.

Cute game and really nice looking ! Great work on the lilypads
Two ideas for improvement :
- The lily pads already look varied, which is great, but some specks of color would have made it even better I think. Like tiny lotuses starting to bloom ?
- When the platforms you're standing on sinks, it's hard to avoid since there's no (or little) tell.

Hi there! 

Yup, i was thinking on adding some more details to the lilypads but i left them quite plain for time. In the future I do plan to add more to this idea. I think it's a hard tell for the sinking platforms since it becomes maybe too dark? I'll keep it in mind. 

Thanks for playing 💚

Love games with frogs, and this one has such a beautifully cozy vibe! The movement feels really smooth, and I enjoyed both the playthrough and doing an endless run.

¡Hola! Otro colombiano por acá... al fin no tengo que usar el traductor de Google. Se nota muchísimo el esfuerzo y la cantidad de detalles puestos en la estética, y la verdad lo logra demasiado bien. Felicidades por el juegazo.

Very cohesive theme throughout both in visuals and audio, great use of assets. Love the aesthetic, and all the detail when the level becomes unstable sells it really well. Very much enjoyed playing through this.

Loved the game, managing the frogs so that none are lost anywhere is a difficult but fun task!!
