Splatter by Tsuk13

made by Tsuk13 for LD25 (JAM)

Didn't quite get as done as I had hoped but I graduated this weekend so thats mostly why.

Object of game: To keep the green square frogs from hopping across the road.

Controls: Click and drag the cars from the bottom and drop them into the lane you wish to use them in.

Mechanics: The frogs will speed up in the time they spawn and the speed they hop as you kill more and more. Each car costs a specific amount. Your gold is to the side and a kill gives you 3 gold. The goals(not really lillypads cause I didn't get to do the water part)turn black when they have been achieved. If all five turn black you lose. There is no kill screen, it will just stop.

Nice idea. Got quite allot of dead frogs! Sadly I ran out of gold ... I have an expensive taste ;)

It crashed for me after while of playing (linux, openjdk7)

Not a bad game, but the game should be 1-2 wider, because killing frogs on the side is a piece of cake (drop car on frog). I liked it though; nice concept!

I didnt make it to the kill screen so the game just ends after you lose the last goal/lillypad. That could have been it, it was compiled with openjdk6 though but I dubt that would affect it.

I get a Pixel not accelerated error when I try to play this one. I'll try again on another computer later.

That was fun, although i'd agree that hitting the ones at the edge is way too easy

Before making my entry, I first thought of a frogger game too.
To bad I ran out of money so soon. :D

Nice idea. Could have some solid potential with a bit more time. It seemed to exit a bit early for me sometimes, though...

Good game - It's like frogger, only you're the cars. Crashed on my a couple times after only one black box. But, overall it works well and it was engaging, i like it.

I liked the idea a lot - maybe the game started too slow but once it got fast I started to enjoy it! Some score count couldn't hurt. Good game you have there :)

I liked the idea, the feel of dropping cars was nice, but killing the frogs seemed way too easy. I also wish I could have achieved more of the Frogger feel of having lots of cars going at all times, so placing spawners maybe instead of just cars. Good work though, congrats on completing this!

I like the idea, but it lacks graphics and it's too easy.
