How does your game fit the theme?
Our tiny protagonist unlocks the door to a strange scene.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
For the visuals I used almost exclusively stock imagery, that I have the rights to. I coded and made the music and FX myself.

Wow what an experience, definitely wasn't expecting a game like this and it's such a good surprise. The movement mechanic was also a quite nice surprise, took a little time to get used to but it was so good when I got the hang of it.
This game is definitely a trip. Haven't seen stock images used like this, I like it. The bounces were a bit hard to time, so I found spamming 'S' was the easiest way to do it. Also the game suggested I press esc, so I thought I was stuck, but I just got kicked to the menu and lost my progress :(
Really cool stuff tho!
I really enjoysed the surreal ambiance! This is really innovative and fun, also beautiful music. And most importantly: frogs!
Thanks a lot for playing, much appreciated! Spent quite a lot of time cutting all those frogs out of their backgrounds, kept finding new interesting poses, so I'm glad you enjoyed them :)
As a frog enjoyer, I can tell you that your hard work was worth it.
Great work! Very Interesting!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed!
Interesting gameplay mechanic with the bouncing, it felt great to control. I also liked the visual style using the stock photos :D
Sometimes it was not really clear to me where to go, but it was not too bad. Would be nice if there were some checkpoints. I got stuck and pressed escape as hinted, but had to play all over again.
(Oh btw, free tip for next game jams: don’t use escape as key bind or provide an alternative for fullscreen browser games, escape minimizes the windows first :D )
Thank you so much for playing!! I can imagine things are a little obscure to figure out. I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed the controls though, this seems to be a point of some division. After bouncing around these photos for a week I got so comfortable with the concept I kinda forgot to consider a player dropping in first time.
And good tip, totally missed that. Just like I said the previous jam, I'll definitely do more playtesting next jam :P
Thanks again for your kind words and feedback!
Not easy, but interesting
I'll take it! Thanks a lot for playing!
Interesting visuals and fun gameplay, it reminded me of Only Up in a way.
Thanks for playing, very happy you enjoyed it!
I absolutely loved the visual style with stock images, so creative and something I've thought about doing myself - but it turned out way better than I could've imagined, they all blended so seamlessly :D I thought the bouncing mechanic was a lot of fun, had a bit of challenge on the ramps though. Loved frog man. Thank you for creating this!!!
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Very happy you enjoyed it, or even managed to make sense of it. After bouncing around stock images all week I found it pretty hard to judge the difficulty/intuitiveness of it all :)
I'll be checking out your game for sure!
