I adored this entry. I think you did an excellent job paying homage to the original, and while I can't pretend to know what the first devs were thinking or intended, I think you perfectly captured the feel and type of game they wanted to make if they'd had the ability back then. It was frantic and fun and fair ... and the addition of thwomp for a vertical threat was an excellent decision.
Small nitpicks:
- I wish each letter of LEAPER lit up as a beat a level so I felt the reward of progression.
- Hide the frog when it reaches the goal/portal/end
- More fanfare after beating it. This game was a challenge! Be great to have a little celebration even if it's just a song change.
But overall, such incredible and polished work. It was all the little things like the animations and sfx when your lives populate was so rewarding.
