Controls:
| " ` " key: Options |
"1" key: Start Game |
"5" or "6" key: Add Credit |
Arrow keys: Movement |
Your game does not need to have these controls,
or include the arcade 'credits' mechanic!
1. Preserve the core gameplay.
Submit a game that is so similar to Frogger, it would be considered "a Frogger-like."
Improvements and changes are OK!
2. But make it original.
Do not call it "Frogger".
Do not copy any assets or code directly from the original game.
Do not use assets that you did not make unless they are CC0/similar, or you own a commercial license to use them.
Avoid using music that you did not make yourself, or else your game will be muted in the playthrough livestream.
Consider adding a "Streamer Mode" if you want sound FX to be heard on stream.
3. Keep it clean.
Entries must be SFW (Safe For Work), and comply with the itch.io TOS.
4. Make it embeddable.
Your game must be playable in the browser, or it will be disqualified! This allows everyone to play without concerns about malware.
5. Submit in time.
You'll have up to 1 month to work on this. This jam will always start on the first Wednesday of the month, and end on the last Wednesday (following the ET time zone).
6. Vote on other games.
For 1 week after the jam ends, voting will be open. Please rank as many games as you can, so we can find the best Frogger-like out there 😎!
7. Have fun!
Just kidding, that would be so cringe to say. No but seriously, try to have fun though.
Voting begins when the jam ends!
Prepare to judge & be judged on the following criteria:
How much does the game still feel like the original?
How uniquely does it reimagine the original?
How complete does the game seem? Is it lacking clarity or features that would make it feel "whole"?
How attractive, fitting, and/or consistent is the art?
How satisfying, well composed, and/or fitting are the sound effects? The music?
Join the weekly livestream to share how your entry is going!
Livestreams happen every week during the jam.
After voting ends, everyone's games will be played live on stream.
