Cute graphics and good use of the theme. Would have loved to have some music, and perhaps the frog could be made a little easier to control by adding a variable jump distance based on how long the key is held down? In any case, I enjoyed it!

This is a pretty chill game. It's simple, but relaxing. The visuals are definitely a plus. I'm impressed by anyone who goes for 3D graphics in a Ludum Dare, and these are definitely clean. I got stuck a few times at first, but it was smooth sailing once I started staying away from ledges. I'd say I enjoyed my time with this game overall. Good job!

I'm a frog! Sound was simple but effective. I wish I could charge jump or something. Grabbing flies mid-air was LEGIT.

Getting stuck made me a sad frog.

I like the animation goin' on here. The frog in particular moves very nicely. If y'all made that yourselves, awesome job!

The game itself was pretty simple, but I did have some fun, particularly when I would nab flies in midair while I was jumping. Unfortunately I didn't feel TOO much like a frog, considering the tank-like controls and how slowly he moved.

It was a good call having those special flies buzzing around to add to time, though the timer could probably stand to be a little more prominent, so the player feels a sense of urgency. It might also be a cool idea to have OTHER special flies that maybe up your movement speed/tongue distance, etc. I think there's a lot you can expand on with an idea like this. :)

I Made a challenge with a friend of who gets the highest and we had fun. He won with a score of 22:trophy:!

** Good points **

The animation and models are clean. The gameplay and ambiance are enjoyable.

** To impove **

Please name your game more precisely than LD38.
Maybe you can add a golden fly that is faster and gives more points so we would fight for it!

I like this a lot! If the flies were maybe a little harder to catch, or you had different bug types, you could turn this into something really interesting! Keep working on it!

This is a game jam done right. A simple game mechanic, good controls, visually simple but aesthetic - and finished. ;-)

I especially like the tongue of the frog. ^^

Pretty cool game. It needs more feedback, this should be a frantic game in which you hunt a million flies with heavy metal for background music and blood everywhere. Just kidding.
This is a good game, it just needs player feeling.

Good game. I would add some music and maybe accelerate the pace to make it more fun. Also having more control on the jump length would come in handy. Congrats!

As others have said, simple mechanics but fun. I'm not great at it, my best score was 21. I'd like more control over the jumping, so I can make more precise jumps, and the controls could be more snappy and responsive. It's really enjoyable though, and considering it is a 3D compo entry I think you have done incredibly well!
