Incredibly simple and fun, really enjoyed this one!
Simple, straightforward, and oh-so-fun. Great stuff!
It is fun and the graphics are nice!
If you would like to work further on the project, then I would make the heron easiern and increase the amount of obstacles, which the player should avoid.
Cool game!
Very simple but fun idea and good execution! Only problem I had is that I encounter a bug where I got stuck under the holding things for the frog and count do anything. Sadly i could not reapeat this bug to figure out what caused it.
love the idea and the execution is really fun!
The game is very fun and engaging all coupled with a cute artwork an hype music. One problem though is tat at the beggining it is't very clear that you have to get out of the water to shoot the tongue. Maybe adding a platform on top like a log or something could make it more clear (also in the background to not make people think it is blocking the path)
Super simple but tons of fun and the art is cute. My only criticism is that it wasn't obvious to me that you have to press up to leave the water to catch flies, but otherwise this is great! Loved the difficulty scaling too :)
Thank you! That's probably the biggest issue with the game, it's in the description but it should also be clear when you don't read the description
Someone suggested an animation with bubbles when you try to shoot underwater, so i might add that after the jam
Very tight gameplay, had lots of fun!
VERY fun and challenging!
surprisingly hard! it would be nice to have more of a delay in the beginning for how long it takes the heron to get you, and have that gradually increase over time to make the difficulty have a bit of a curve. I also didn't realize at first that i needed to "leave" the water to use my tongue - maybe an added animation of bubbles if you try to use your tongue when underwater as a visual cue? I just thought the controls were glitching at first because there was no feedback/response to button pushing. Overall a fun game and super cute art! Great work!
Thank you for the constructive criticism! The difficulty actually does increase over time, but the bubbles animation is a great idea!
I added an animation for it :)
ha! another fellow doing a whack a mole style game.
loved your game - the design, sfx, pacing - super nice!
Lit frog game, I like, great art style and concept, good job man :D
Love the art style. I think the controls could use some tweaking. Maybe the frog could automatically go back under water after pressing space.
Thanks! Btw, it's only if you miss the fly that you don't automatically submerge again :)
Very enjoyable once I got the hang of what I was doing! Lacking some juice visually but the audio is great! Great Job!
This was fun! I really like the idea and think it came out well!
Great concept. I really like the pixel art! It might be a bit challenging, but overall, congratulations!
Nice game, cute art!
Fun game! Definitely could use some work in making moving around more incentivized though.
True... maybe I should add collectables that spawn on random underwater tiles?
Very fun game. Needs some incentive for moving to different spots tho
Good idea
There is a tactic where you emerge and then instantly submerge again so the heron will attack that spot, and while it's attacking you emerge in another spot so you have more time to shoot
Cute, well made game but I think that the heron's hitbox is a bit broken. Don't know if it fits the theme very much tho.
It fits the theme because it's based off whack-a-mole, except you have to dodge the hammer (heron)
And it also fits because you need to catch flies, and to do so you need to put yourself in danger by emerging from the water, so it's eat or be eaten
