Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.

Hahaha! This game is pretty funny. I found a few glitches, like being able to still keep going after dying and adding frogs on the screen that don't go away by just clicking on the screen. Great concept and good job on the solid entry!

This was a fun game. The frogs were cute. Took me a bit to figure out what I was doing, but after that it was fine. I like the concept.

For constructive criticism: I'd like to see more satisfying death animation. I'd also like to see when I'm being hit more clearly. The difficulty scale was weird. I could never get past the fourth level. Sometimes I'd finish the 2nd level with 10 coins and sometimes with 8. If I finished with 8 I knew I wasn't beating the third level. Although it may have been different using an actual mouse vs a track pad.

Overall great work!

I love the concept... and the frog's face :D Maybe something that could help to aim would be great, I'm not sure at all since dragging feels as if you are actualli throwing frogs with your hands, but it is a suggestion. Cool little game, nice job !

First impressions:
This little game is really funny. GG!
The art is so cute :)
I think that if you have a added some sound would have become addictive.
As an improvement: maybe allowing camera movement or something to make it more dynamic.

This is so fun!
I'm really impressed with how intuitive you managed to make the throwing physics, it feels really responsive and lets you aim well.

I agree that it's a big miss to not include any sounds in it.
The bonuses were nice, the frogs are cute, I think it looks good and probably would even work well on mobile.

good job ^^

That's really fun concept. Shaking from to make bomb from it is really impresive. Controls are intuitive and well done. I can say no more because it's funny and nice game. Maybe adding some sound/music would be nice.

Funny simple game! It took me a while to figure out the controls but, after that it was a fairly fun game other than I did find it hard to get enough power to hit the guys way in the back. This seams to be a mobile type game because of the controls.

The graphics are ok but I think there could be different types of enemy's and more stuff in the background.

Its a fun little funny game though. I like the explosive frogs!!!

Nice little game! x) The frogs are just adorable ^^ It felt like a few times the controls refused to work properly, but otherwise it was great x) It was fun! Some audio would be nice =)

I've made a short let's play if you want to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvFFSM7F3Eg x)

What a weird game, why frogs! Easy to play and efficient. Sometimes it's not easy to launch precisely, but I love bomb frog!
