fun! great job! i found a glitch at the end that I could keep going even though my health ran out
I like how the visuals look like a storybook! I found the controls hard to play though, maybe if the hitboxes on the flies were bigger? Or you could rapid fire eat the flies?
The visual style is fantastic! The game feels nice to play too and I get some nice vibes overall.
I think the game fits the jam theme well too, but on later levels I think the difficulty needs to be scaled a bit. I got overwhelmed before the flies got close enough to eat.
Great work!
Thanks so much for your feedback and for giving it a play, definitely agree that the difficulty gets very steep with the levels scaling, definitely something to review :)
Beautiful art! With the theme, it looks quite nice!

Thank you so much for the feedback, and thank you for playing!
Loved the style
Thank you, and thanks for playing :)
Agreed with your concerns on controlling the tongue and other hitboxing issues (The trees were felt weird on my first attempt, but after that I felt I could move up and down easily.) I don't think the flies should block the frogs movement. I echo everyone else in saying the art for this was brilliant.
Thanks so much for your feedback and for playing, you're absolutely right in terms of the flies not blocking the frog movement, I also don't think they should get caught on the tree so in hindsight I definitely would have changed that!
the art and music are very nice! i struggeed a little bit to control the frog, but that may have been intended :D a nice concept!
Thanks so much for playing and for your feedback, that definitely wasn't intentional but sadly I didn't get chance to revisit it, perhaps focused a little too much on the appearance with this one!
I thought the drawings were very nice, love your style!
Thanks so much, really appreciate it! :)
Nice game, the artstyle is really good and I like the audio!
Please keep doing more in this watercolour style!
Thank you!! Definitely will do, used this as a test to see if I could figure out the workstream for getting watercolours in as artwork for some ideas I'm toying with at the minute, ideas without the constraint of a timeframe haha
I really like the water color aesthetic! Nice!
Thanks so much!
Lovely art. The gameplay left a bit to be desired for me. I wish I could shoot the tongue in any direction, not just forward.
Thank you for playing and for your feedback, completely agree about the tongue control, and that's something I'd like to see if I can implement outside of the jam without the time constraints :)
Really nice idea and very fun! Beautiful art :)
Thanks so much for playing and for your feedback! :)
This, this, THIS GAME. It brought out my inner frog! I never realized how much I wanted to be a frog, wow. Just look at those delicious flies! SLURPPPPPPPPPP *Burp*
Haha I take no responsibility for any flies you may decide to snack upon outside of this game :') Thanks for playing!
The art was so good!!! Im so impressed. I agree with your description, animations could have made it more entertaining. As others mentioned, the ability to control the tongue would have been easier to handle.
Thanks so much for playing and for your feedback! Will definitely look at how I could implement perhaps a mouse-following control for future projects, as that would have worked a lot better!
nice art!
Thankyou!
level 5 be like : BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ -Ivory-
Hahaha, I think I was just trying to pass my frustration to those playing it after trying to remove many a fly from my house over the course of the jam XD
We need more Frog for this summer lol -Ivory-
The art is great, but i'd love choose the direction of the tongue.
Thanks for playing and for your feedback - definitely agree that I would have loved to have changed the tongue control if I had a bit more time, maybe by following the mouse :)
Really good art, i love it ! Control is a bit difficult in my opinon, choosing the direction of the tongue would be nice
Agree with you completely, I would have loved to have it so that you controlled the direction of the tongue with your mouth but I didn't have time to figure out how to code that in the timeframe, will definitely look into it for future projects though! Thank you for playing and for the feedback :)
I felt like the flies spawned a bit slow here, not sure if it was intentional or just a bug on my end. The art is pretty good-looking!!
Cheers for your feedback and for playing! So the flies start off spawning slowly and then spawn faster as you level up, eventually you'll just hear a very annoying drone of buzzes haha
Nice Artwork! The flies kept getting stuck on the platforms for me, they also kept getting stuck on each other! nice work though, dude!
Thanks, and thanks for playing! I experienced that quite a lot too, there's a knack where you can go from side to side at the bottom to entice them down, but then you end up trapped and surrounded by a swarm so it can be a risk haha
