Nice one. Good job on your entry!
nice presentation and nice art. The concept wall also quite creative. Good job !
Very cute art style! I had trouble figuring out when the bugs were supposed to be eaten since they don't disappear. But, once I figured that out, I managed to last for the whole season!
Really interesting concept! The needs management is a bit like The Sims, but a little faster paced. Combat seemed a little wonky for me, and the hunger meter definitely seemed to go a little fast versus the food out there. Maybe it was just me though. Sounds and music were nice. Good work!
Really cute art! I felt like the hunger bar runs out a little too quickly, or I am just bad at the game lol
Great game! the status effects were a refreshing timer use!
It's a pretty cute and fun game! I like the use of multiple timers in this one, though it was a bit difficult for me to focus on them as I was too busy eating bugs and spending time underwater. If there were more time to submit this game, I would recommend adding some way to effectively communicate to the player that you're about to starve, freeze, or overheat. An alert sound would be a good start.
Really adorable.great art. Love the changing seasons. The UI was kind of small for the stats though and the exit button doesn’t work. It was also hard to tell if I was feeding the frog. The movement though and attacks felt great.
I love the use of the limitation, this is one of the best uses of it I’ve seen - having multiple “timers” and tying them to the mechanics and theme of the game itself feels so much better than an arbitrary number on screen. The art looks really cute. I really struggled to understand how to balance my meters, especially my hunger meter - I couldn’t tell if I was eating things or not, tongue slapped seem to kill them but not eat them? And bite didn’t seem to do anything.
Overall, I loved this presentation and concept a lot.
Very interesting way to implement the limitation, unique gameplay from what I see so far. The soundtrack is awesome!
Very nice work and result for a weekend! Maybe there are too many bugs (I mean to eat, no software bugs)? I would add more water effects like bubbles, splash sounds and effects, etc… Also (personally) I would add bigger bars and buttons (without a white frame). Otherwise good entry.
Thank you! Maybe too many bugs, but the main thing is not to get carried away by eating them, otherwise you can catch overheating or hypothermia)
Really cute! She's a lovely frog, I could not figure out how to eat tho so I kept dying and now I feel like a murderer.
Thank you! Eating is very simple. The frog's tongue should touch the bugs until they die.
Enjoyment 4/5 - A bit repetitive and a bit harsh at times, but otherwise some good fun! Taking on large enemies was a lot of fun as well as figuring out how to survive in winter.
Concept 4/5 - Very clever use of the time gimmick, easily a concept I could see fleshed out into a larger game.
Presentation/Execution 3/5 - Very fun like I said, but I do wish there was a bit more to the seasons, perhaps one or two unique enemies and such.
Actual presentation wise though, fantastic stuff! I love the art style and the music was very nice!
Use of Limitation 5/5 - Interesting take on "limited time" that I personally really enjoy and the meters give the feeling of limited time really well!
Overall, a nice product you've got here that I had a wonderful time with!
Thanks for the extended feedback!
