Ah man I'm kicking myself for not going with the collection & catch loop... This was actually insanely fun, I love this game so much lol.

I got stuck playing it for what must've been half n hour, I think in the end I left because I didn't understand what I was supposed to do to be able to catch the big'uns... and I can't just rest while they go uncaught.  Let me know if i was missing something, like, if i needed to upgrade my strength by benchpressing frogs or something, I'll do anything bro.

Anyways this game is awesome.  I wish you embedded in the browser though, I think that's the primary reason you haven't gotten a lot of ratings cause this one is definitely one of the best.

The file just is surprisingly big, partly the reason i avoided playing till now but I'm glad i did end up downloading it.

Really great game, hope you continue with it, cause if you don't, I may reconfigure the purpose of mine lmao.

glad you enjoyed it! To catch the big ones you need to use the traps! I tried to explain most of the mechanics on the game page,  but obviously when you play from the voting page you don't get to see all that. I missed info on other games i tried for the same reason. Haha. I had intended on adding a strength progression but ran out of time as i had to work 2 of the 3 days. Feel free to make a catching game similar! Thanks for voting!

Interesting game. Though I have a problem with my 4:3 monitor. And for some reason even in window the game keeps 4:3 ratio.

Nice game…. So fun to play… Just go around catching them… The music was very chill…

Suggestion : Maybe we can pick up the trap that we set, if we want to put it in some other place?

Overall very relaxing and fun… Would love if you play and rate mine too :)

Developer

thankyou! Glad you enjoyed. I will be sure to!

I really liked the game, spend almost one hour playing.

At the end I was just tedious because it's very slow paced, probably bigger challenges with more quicker wins would be more engaging!

Developer(+1)

yeah i really wanted to go further and add a few more tools and even a boss frog you needed expensive tools to catch etc. But i had less than 48 hrs as i worked 2 of the 3 days over the jam. Haha. But so happy to hear you enjoyes it! There is an ending if you manage to catch all 100 frogs!

Great choice in music, it made the game feel super chill (which I'm guessing was the goal). I'm always a fan of upgrade systems, and I think you implemented it pretty well. I had a bit of a hard time telling which frogs were poisonous, but that might have been by design. Fantastic entry!

I toyed with having bright pink or red, but thought that was a little too obvious, but also wouldn't mind changing the light green to a bit brighter to stand out more. Thankyou and glad you liked it!

I've found a bug with the pause menu, if you exit pause with escape key the game don't resume properly.

It's a lot of fun, though I would wish there's something more to unlock and I don't really get what the shocker is for :P

Overall, nicely done, cool idea, looks cute and plays well ^^

Developer

Thankyou glad you enjoyed! The shocker was more a fun toy than anything. Haha
