Nice game, art be good. 

I quite like the swamp setting. The fireflies and frogs.

Thanks for playing!

Really good game! The artsyle and ambience is great, and even if the AI could be slightly better this looks really promising! Can't wait to see more of it, keep up the good work :)

Thank you for playing! In what way do you think the monster AI could be improved? We are collecting improvement ideas for further development ^^ Also, we put up a dev blog where you can check for updates!

I really liked your game! And gameplay, and visual, and music, and sounds are veryveryvery good! A very comfortable and sweet game, cool!

PS: And I also love frogs, so there is a separate respect for them! :DD

Thank you very much!

Goddammit, I accidentally left a frog behind and going back to rescue the poor fellow I got killed. Why do the frogs gotta be so cute, curse them. And it was only after cursing these frogs I realized that you can, indeed, drown the bog-monster or näkki or whatever it is. Good for me, turns out I'm pretty good at dodging. Anyways, love the art and visual style here, it's just perfect for the vibe, same to say for sound design, small details really do add a lot. Puzzles were great, really wished it to be longer too, I wanted to talk to more frogs, so that's to say, do consider developing this further! Great job here!

This is so cute, and the art style and atmosphere are really well done. I'd love to see how the story unfolds

Developer

Thank you very much! We just put up a dev blog for the game, so if you'd like to see where it's going, go check it out!

Developer

The art style was so cute!!! Loved the horrors and giving them a good dunk~ Very excited to see if this gets expanded into a longer game. Thank you for uploading and sharing~

the art in this is so lovely! i love the little frog guys, they are super cute. the set up on the bridge where you first see the witch was also great, it was so intuitive to just pull the firefly back out of the lantern to dunk her. the little voice sounds were also super cute. great work on this ya'll, i'd love to see what ya'll do next!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the kind words! We mean to continue on the development and just put a dev blog so if you'd like to keep updated, go check it out! ^^

Look the puzzle + story game. However, I was a bit stuck to lit up the 4 lanterns. How can I do that?

Developer

Hi! You can find the four fireflies needed on the map. Did you go through all the nooks and crannies?  :)

Will try the desktop version later, the embedded one seems to bug with dialogs :c (I understand the struggle with web export tho💀). You really nailed the graphics part I'm impressed! Nice sub

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for the comment! Could you expand a little on how it bugged with the dialogue so we can try to fix it :) When I play it on my browser, I can finish the game.

Submitted

Hey, I finally had a chance to give it another try. I just missed the three dialogues on my previous run, so the dialogue with Scott wasn’t triggering... Sorry about that, I just missed a detail haha.
Thank you for your sub I found it really cute :)

Developer(+1)

No, that's a design flaw on our part and should be looked into! Thank you for taking the time to play and comment!<3

The art was really amazing! The story was cute too and I loved the frogs. I did find an issue that during conversation with your friend at the end the monsters can still move so I was killed in the ending sequence. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! That bug should be fixed now :)

Aww, thank you so much!

Loved the art style for the game! 

Ran into an issue where when the monster touched you, you couldn't move and the game wouldn't end so I was stuck (had to quit). 

Had an overall polished look. Nice job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! That bug should've been taken care of now! ^^

Developer
