Hunting Frog by Indeximal
It is your turn to feed this little hopping frog with delicious flies. But you've only got a minute to do so. Don't worry there are special flies, which give you extra time. :frog:

Goal: Eat as many normal flies as possible before the timer hits zero. The red flies give you five extra seconds
Controls: - WS: Hop forward/Backward - WS in air: control how far you jump - AD: Turn around - Leftclick on a fly: Expand your tongue to try to grab the fly. - Esc: Game over. Because sometimes you get stuck :sob:

- controls is really difficult
- I Graphics is very good specialy the fly one
Getting stuck made me a sad frog.
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. :)
** 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 especially like the tongue of the frog. ^^
This is a good game, it just needs player feeling.
