I think I died drowned... how dreadful for a frog!
Nice little game!
I ran into a bug that prevented me from vacuuming insects, but other than that it's cool. Also epic music makes it way more dramatic than it is but that's funny.
Really nice game! I played it because you didn't have a lot of ratings... I'm glad I played it! It's super beautiful (even though my laptop was louder than a rocket). I think you should add your little froggie to your screenshots, it would bring more people!
I think you could add more feeback for combat, it was difficult seeing what was working or not sometimes. But for a gamejam, it's really cool! Good job!
First Rating :3!
I loved the art! The concept was really cool and I love that there is multiple ways to defeat enemies! It was a bit hard to accurately hit the bees sometimes but overall I enjoyed it a lot!
Just a couple potential bugs, after defeating the first swarm after the destructible log, there was an invisible collider that I got suck on and had to go around. I am also unsure if you were supposed to die if you shoot until you get too small but I could shoot infinity which made the boss monster a bit easy.
I also love frogs, so that is a plus in my book :P
thank you for your rating! ill be sure to check out your game later today once i sit down to rate some games!!
And yes, we are aware of the weird collision , im probably gonna fix it to upload it after the jam voting period ends. We tried to fix it before the submission period ended but only figured out part of the problem so far.
As for the shooting thing, it is by design. Since shooting is so punitive, we didnt want the player to also die to their own hand if they tried to shoot while being too small. Instead, theyd become a sort of "glass canon" where they could shoot infinitely, but be one step away from death at all times (although im using the glass canon term loosely here, since your projectiles dont do more damage if you are smaller). Theres definitely some balancing to be done and improvements that could be made to that logic tho!
and yes. we also love frogs and decided ahead of the theme reveal we were going to add ourselves an extra challenge/constraint to have frogs involved in some way for our game. RIBBIT! :P
