Sooo satisfying to break through those blocks! Cool idea and very neat implementation, great job!
I really liked this game. The art was very cute and I liked the frog becomes big mechanic. There are some tall hills where if you haven't eaten enough flies to become big you have to wait for some more to spawn. Overall, I think this game could be top 100.
Thank you so much! I'm glad that you enjoyed it! The waiting for flies definitely needs to be addressed a bit.
Nice looking game, the scale up of the frog animation is very juicy. I wish there was some kind of indicator of how many flies you have eaten. Also I would suggest to add an animation for when the fly has been eaten (right now it just disappears).
Overall pretty solid
I like that idea! I'll probably do some more on that after the jam. Thanks for trying it out :)
Look at this big boy !! There is something so funny in this game and the use of the theme, like it !
really charming game and a neat take on the theme!
This is so cute! My time was 10.37. I at first was just enjoying the adorable little frog going "hop hop hop" and then it went crazy and I understood the assignment. Very satisfying smashing through the stage as the giant frog. Sound design is great, and the scaling up is surprising and also super satisfying! Great job!
10.37 is pretty awesome! Glad you enjoyed it so much :) Thanks for playing!
When I played the first time I was like "they're lying about the 3 second high score." cause I had like 150 or something lol, and then the next run it all clicked for me.
57 seconds! Great SFX, loved the Hop hop! Just a little frog, trying to get around :)
That hop hop is my 6yo who I recorded :D Glad you like the sound! Thanks for playing!!
It's cute, its charming, is... GOT A GIANT FOG WITH HEAVY METAL MUSIC!!! I can say that I liked it!!
Streamed today!!
Nice! Glad you liked it! Thanks for playing on stream :)
It's so funny when the heavy metal kicks in and the frog becomes enormous, I was also pleasantly surprised that I could break the terrain, it makes it so much more impactful. I ended up being stuck in a valley with no way to climb out and no flies, but I really enjoyed it up to that point. Great work!
Glad you liked the transition so much :) Yeah, that soft lock is an issue I'll have to get figured out. Thanks for playing ;)
I had fun with this! It's very reminiscent of the "mega mushroom" thing from Mario but it's good and satisfying to grow — the music and alternate sound effects really sell it. The downside really is just the waiting around while flies spawn in the sky or below the floor and that should be an easy post-jam tidy up.
Yeah, I'll clean that up afterwards for sure. I've had some good suggestions as to how to get it fixed. Glad you liked it!
The art is super cute! It was a bit frustrating at points when I had to wait for flies to spawn low enough at a roadblock but overall the gameplay feels nice and keeping the momentum going when you're in big mode is a great little challenge.
Very cool and fun game :) liked the gameplay! Sometimes a little bit hard to catch the flys but overall great work. Keep it up!
The flies definitely need work. Glad you liked it :)
Hahaha, beeg froggo. Really funnie and cool game
Yeah, I just finished it and my time is 11.41. I really enjoy it. Well done!
Nice job! That's one of the best times thus far :) Glad you liked it!
The switch up between the jolly, bouncy baby froggo to the humongous destructive chungus is funny! The movement feels fluid and the juiciness when I become big makes the game feel satisfying.
Great job!
Fun idea! The movement felt pretty easy to pickup, and the small gameplay loop was fun! I felt a bit frustrated having to wait for flies sometimes since I wasn't able to jump high enough, but overall I still enjoyed the game! Congratulation for making this!
Thanks :) Yeah, the fly spawning needs some work for sure. Glad you liked it overall :)
Very very fun! I like how there are a couple areas that you can only access by digging and alternate routes if you choose to explore. My best time ended up being about 15.5 which I was pretty happy with. Destructible terrain is such a cool mechanic for any game to have, and you made it feel really crunchy and impactful which was great! One thing that feels like it would fit perfectly into the game is having the frog tongue SMASH through walls when big like a huge tongue punch.
the only issue I ran into, was it was possible to soft-lock yourself if you dug a hole while big that's too deep to jump out of when small, but that's sorta in the nature of the terrain destruction aspect of the game, quite hard to avoid. Plus only weirdos (me) who are trying to find secrets and master the mechanics of the game would really ever run into that so I don't think its a very big problem.
Really fun, really cute, good work!
hahahaha! I'm so glad you found the secret caves! I had added them, expecting them to be a bit easier to get to, but the terrain destruction didn't work quite as quickly as I wanted. I also thought about the tongue thing and REALLY wanted to do that, but ended up not really having the time to. I might try to add that later :) Thanks for playing it more than just a little and exploring! Glad you liked it!
Cool game! Fun to crush everything as the big frog >:D I think it'd be fun for the frog to have some enemies trying to eat the player character, and then when the frog is big the player can eat the enemies too! It'd add a bit more challenge and be satisfying to get payback on the enemies (kinda like Pac-Man). Also really liked how the music changes between big/small mode, nice touch. Great job!
I REALLY wanted to add a boss at the end that had that sort of mechanic. Just something simple where if the player is small, the boss can hurt the player, and the player needs to get enough flies to get big and eat the boss. I might take the time to look into all that after the jam. Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked it :)
Hah! Very cute and a nice idea. Well executed.... I don't think I'll be beating your speedrun time anytime soon!!
hahaha, it's not as hard as it sounds, but I definitely played it MANY times while making it :P
Very funny good idea, absolutely had a blast getting bigger and just nom noming all the flies and tiles.
Great sound effect for nom nom too :)
Very glad you liked it! Thanks for playing :)
