The game is really cute! One thing I'd say is that it's not immediately apparent you arent supposed to not eat the good files, I feel like the sound effects don't really let me know of that too well, other than that, great game!

Developer

Thats a really good point! I will change the sound effect (and maybe add some visual effects?) to notify player that you are not supposed to eat blue files. Thank you for the feedback, I worked really hard on the art-style of the game as I tried to do something new to me, I'm glad it worked out well! ☺️

Great game!

  • The character slowing down because they have more BTC mining sessions is the most frustratingly good mechanic ever! lol
  • You cast of enemies was great
  • I love the idea of cascading issues, I don't think infected software produces more viruses but that'd be a cool addition IMO

Any chance we could get a web version?

Developer

You can play web version on my website (I didn't compile web version on time and submissions closed, so for now it's only there).

Awesome thanks, I'll do that asap!

Very satisfying and cute game. I really like the artstyle. The Frog seemed a little out of place with all the computer files but at the same time it is also a great idea!

Developer

Thank you!😊

I struggled to make the frog feel natural with the rest of the files, as it is a frog and not a file. All my previous games were either 3D or pixel art, so this art style was very new for me, but it seems to me that people like it so I will try to improve on it!

Great game, I love the unique idea of a frog defending your files from viruses! I like the satisfaction of killing viruses. One thing I would suggest is to remove the slowing down when there are too many viruses. It just makes it harder to make a comeback.

Developer

I am very glad to hear that killing viruses was satisfying, as it is what I was going for! The slowing down is caused by the increasing amount of miners installed by some viruses, but I agree that the way I implemented it may be too harsh. I am thinking about making a miner-meter in the corner of the screen and also making slowing down less extreme.
Thank you for your reply! I appreciate it!😊

I found the game a bit confusing since i didnt check the game page for a "how to play" would have been nice if you added it in the game instead of the game page. the game however is nice. visuals are great. could use a touch of ambiance but all in all great.

Developer

Yeah, I didn't have enough time to explain to player how to play my game. I wanted to make a tutorial level which would explain everything, but 10 minutes wasn't enough. About ambience... I forgor💀. The coding part and trying to make everything work with each other made my brain melt. But thank you for the reply!😃
(I will probably update the game after the game jam is over)

great would love to play after an update!
