Holy crap, this is awesome! A very unique spin on the limitation and very unique use of the RPG Maker! I loved everything about this one, all the highest praises from me!

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you loved the game. If you want, you can check out my other games as well - you might like them!

We loved it! The dialogue is actually fun and the music fits well but it cuts many times in a short period of time, maybe making the duels best of 3 or not making the song stop between duels could help in this situation! Nonetheless it really was a fun experience, the little randomness added is also a nice touch to it, congrats!!!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you all enjoyed it! I did consider making the rounds best out of 3, but honestly, I was just a bit too lazy to add it before release. I may do that in a future update or maybe in a sequel, but I'm not sure.

Loved it!

I couldn't get past the last stage lol

Great game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! And yes, the game is very hard, but the difficulty gives it that nostalgic NES or Arcade. (At least in my opinion)

Submitted

nice simple gameplay, but the repeated music and characters are kind of grating

Developer

Sorry to hear that you didn't like the music, I didn't have enough time to make any myself or to really find a good repository of free-to-use western instrumental music for each level due to the time constraints. Thank you for playing either way!

Finally I can live out my dream of being a cowboy frog. However I am quickly learning perhaps I am not the fastest tongue slinger in the West, still gonna keep playing until I am!

Developer(+1)

That's okay! Keep on givin' it your all, and I'm sure you'll get it - I believe in you! Also, thank you for playing, glad you're loving the game so far!

Thank you, one day I will achieve my dream of being the fastest froggy cowboy out there!

Great concept and execution. I enjoyed the story and dialog between all of the characters.

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

I realized by pre-spamming spacebar and keeping my mouse on the fly, every match ended up being the same (you can maybe make pre-pressing spacebar an automatic loss?)

. However, I was so invested in hearing the western dialogue that this was still super fun. I love how creative you were with this theme and I love the quick-draw idea! Fantastic job with the game and the music!

Developer

Thank you for letting me know about this. I will be fixing that ASAP. Also, I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

Submitted

Love how you interpreted the theme. Really clever use of the frogs and limitation!

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the game!

Very fun (and hard) game! The art is so cool!

Did you add randomness to the timing of enemies?

Developer

Thank you, glad you liked it! Also, I did add randomness to the draw time, that's very observant of you. Each character has preset wait times that are selected by a variable before the start of each round (Ex. Variable chooses between 90, 100, 110, & 120 for Jud). As the stages progress, the distance between the draw times increases to add more suspense and cause the player to become less focused.

The frogs look amazing. Came to the white guy

Developer

Thank you! They took while to get looking right, but I'm happy with the final product. Hope you enjoyed the game!

I can not beat the snake :c I am too slow

Developer(+1)

It's okay, it took me several tries myself to out-sling Lady Mangrove. Her wait time before she draws has most amount of randomness, it can really throw people off.
