Great great great great. Just great. I love being a frog. Level design was tight and the concept is wonderful.

Small thing I noticed- if you double jump in the Baby Chick area below the moving platforms, you trigger the camera for the upper area and you have to walk back to another camera area to get it to reset.

Big thing I noticed - as I walked into the 3rd area, Indiana froze completely :( the torch on the wall however, still flickering. This was right inside the entrance to the 3rd area (the door that you enter below where the mummy is).

Congrats on a great game!!!!

Thank you so much!!

Sorry I missed that camera trigger area! I did a pass where I deliberately went through to try to check for camera transition problems like that, but I guess I missed that one :) If this happens to anybody else reading these comments, it should be possible to wander blind into another area and the camera should correct itself. I'll try to fix this in a future update!

If I can figure out how you froze in the 3rd area I'll try to fix that too. I might know what's happening because it happened to me in the 2nd area in testing and I think I fixed it there, but I haven't had the same problem yet in the 3rd area. Were you able to make it to the end? This is the first time I made so many cutscenes in a game so it's been a bit of a learning curve!

I unfortunately couldn't make it to the end, but I was planning to go try again at some point!

Totally hear you about the cameras. I am sure there are 100 weird areas in our game.
