Floppy Frog by walaber

[raw]
made by walaber for LD34 (COMPO)
Floppy Frog! A silly physics "platformer" game, I just went with the "Two Button Controls" theme for this one.

Use the [F] and [L] keys to flop the frog. Release keys to unflop. Try to complete all 6 levels, level 6 is super hard :)

Created with Unity 5.3, using only basic primitives (only model I had to make was a "wedge" shape)

I'll do my best to play the submissions of everyone who takes the time to play this. I can only play web and OS-X builds since I don't have a windows machine.

Enjoy!

Incredibly frustrating, but the best kind of frustrating. QWOP-tier satisfying frustration.

Finally passed that first part on level 6 and then I saw the monkey bars and I was just like oh noh and died. :)

yeah, the monkey bars are pretty much troll central!
the speed of flopping ramps as you hold the buttons, so if you want a soft touch, try tapping the button repeatedly instead of holding down.

So cute! I am incredibly good at going backwards, not so much forwards. Well done!

Such a basic mechanic and so much fun to play! It made me go crazy, but liked it so much!
I would love to see other goals, such as doint special flips or something. :-)

QWOP with weird frog man. Enjoyable, but impossibly difficult.

cute game, creative use of physics and the theme, sometimes it gets frustrating

The best kind of annoying. When I finally figured out how to slowly crawl across the flat platform on the first level, and then saw the ramp on the second I just stopped then.

HAHAHA awesome :D! Incredibly hard, but in a hilarious way. Then again, I like I Am Bread, so maybe I'm just weird.

After thinking a bit more about it, maybe it would help to include short videos for the basic movement patterns (crawling right, jumping, etc) to reduce the frustration a bit. I understand that it is part of the fun to find that out, though. Maybe a video could appear after some time not making it over a specific obstacle

Man, this is so hard that it became an addiction :D
Super cool idea!

Incredibly hard i-need-to-stop-okay-just-one-more type of game. Played it for ten minutes and I still don't know what the heck is going on. Works just good enough to not be too frustrating :) Good job!

I BEAT IT! That was the most amazing / frustrating game in the world!

Just when you think you have a working technique it all goes wrong!

I recorded my game play and will edit/upload it to youtube shortly!

Amazing idea and by far my favourite game in a while.

40 minutes to complete all the levels.

This is extremely fun and creative. However I feel like it deserves some tweaking on game design. I played for about 15 minutes but didn't feel like I was mastering the mechanics at all, and didn't have much luck progressing (stopped at level 2). But all the while I was having a blast "controlling" the little guy. You have something really really promising here :D

Really creative game - one of the most original I've seen in LD. Super frustrating but super fun! Well done! :D

Everything I do makes me go backwards.
I can't past level two.
The frog looks like an alligator.

Holy cow, finally beat it. Super addicting game! Loved finally mastering the gigantic leaps forward. Really cool mechanics

Holy shit this took up more time than I thought. I also somehow managed to finish the last level by jumping OVER the tools instead of using them. So much potential!

Extremely fun! It reminded me so much of QWOP in a way. Great overall game

Hilarious rage inducing fun, although I would argue that it gets a bit repetitive if you're just stuck on the first level xD
Also congratulations, Jacksepticeye (with almost 8 million subscribers) did a video dedicated to this

Brilliant work, truly difficult and funny! Would love for there to be at least some hints about techniques for controlling the frog!

So frustrating yet quite fun. This is a really neat idea.

I love and hate this kind of game at the same time, I wasn't able to move forward, only backwards :D

The gameplay is original and interesting, I really like it. Good job!

Sooo hard, yet sooo fun. Very Qwopesque but still distinct enough to stand on its own. Well done.

It's very frustrating, but it was really fun! I liked it more than the QWOP, it's so cute and I actually had a lot of fun playing it x) Even though I rage quit after 23 minutes (in the last level if I can count correctly) and I've made a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-jOOhrfG5U

I think it's a great metaphor for life. Sometimes we just desperately try to cling to a rolling piece of wood, but then we flop all across the room in the opposite direction in a desperate attempt to simply move forward. It really shows the struggle of staying alive on a daily basis, I know great social commentary when I see it.

But enough of the nonsense. Really cool game, kept me occupied for a while.
But was it worth playing one hour just to try to beat level 6 and ultimately fail? I don't know. But it for sure was a lot of F(r)U(stratio)N.

Very interesting idea, but I really didn't know how to control it. The only reason that I beat the levels I did was because I randomly pressed buttons and got lucky.

This idea is clever, but it's very frustrating to play. :( I couldn't even beat the second level because of the direction the springs are angled in. The "L" key in particular is extremely likely to make the frog bounce left.
