What a wild ride. Who thought I'd be playing a third person shooter where you play as a frog mowing down hordes of enemies. Nice work :)

Wow. It's like Teenage Mutant Turtles meets Mario meets cute aesthetic. Loved the music and icons! I had some difficulties with the controls, and once when loading in there was no lighting?? Fun game!

The visuals are cool. Sometimes the enemies would fire even after death which was frustrating. but other than that it was fun experience

The prettiest game I've played thus far! The water effect is siiiick, and the frog UI and and character models are cute! Couldnt figure out how to quit, so I had to end process to exit. Overall a cool game, would like to see it expanded. Maybe add grenades?

From what I played it was super cute, but had a couple issues. I kept losing the mouse in the Main Menu and Defeated enemy bodies would continue to shoot me in both 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 versions. If especially that latter bug would be fixed it would make this significantly better!
Otherwise, super cute models, and very nice audio!

Oh my- you really surprised me with this, I was ***not*** expecting an epic 3D shooter RPG! Poor frog, getting constantly shot by enemies....

*Really* great graphics and music!

@chipperswitch We already implemented mechanic similar to grenade, but due to lack of time, we can't integrate it smoothly in to game, so we decided to make it playable in future bilds. But. It already hidden ingame 🤫, so you can try to find it yourself 😉

@teshimoto Downloading 1.0.2 now! Super excited to play this build also how did you shrink it so much from the original upload?

Edit: Just finished. It was super cool the Cthulhu boss at the end actually made me jump a little after so many of the other guys around every corner I just was NOT expecting that. Super cool guys!

@Jfroggg thank you! It's always pleasant to hear that peoples get actually exited of your work! :)
The original upload was done in a hurry in last few minutes of the jam. After that we got some time to play around the compression and to inspect project for unused assets to remove it as well as unnecessary binary raw source files that accidentaly got into shipped version.

I absolutely loved the audio! Art is fine as well. Gameplay is simple but sure didn't feel like a jam game!

The art was amazing, and overall it was pretty well executed for such an ambitious jam project. I realized that there was no wall collision with the bullets, so it ended up being easier to just shoot all the enemies around the corner. They didn't seem to want to shoot back.

The little frog ribbit is soooo cute KERO KERO <3 The mechanics are simple and intuitive, theres some problems with the collisions but it can be fixed pretty easily. Great job finishing a game is such a short time! Hopefully there will be more of this cute little froggy. <3

Мне понравилось стрелять сквозь стены в ничего не подозревающих монстров.
Хорошая игра, вполне можно развить в современный шутер про жабок ^_^

@xpoho спасибо за отзыв ^^ у нас уже собрался приличный список багов, которые мы обязательно пофиксим, как только чуть-чуть отдохнем от этого марафона, после чего планируем развивать проект дальше, чтобы он как минимум соответствовал нашим первоначальным планам.

This is the kind of game my brother and I would have spent months on when we were kids. It’s just good ol’ fashion shoot ‘em up fun. The frogs and Kappas are nicely modeled the animations are juicy. the Purple Squid Boss is everything a Purple Squid Boss should be. I’m very impressed how much sewer there was to run around in. With assets that look this good, I’m not used to seeing this amount of content. Super Cool, Great Job.

Thank you so much for bringing this by my stream. Here's a link to the VOD:

I had seen somes of you posts during the jam and had been wanting to try your game since, finally had time to do so today and my oh my was I not disappointed. The graphics are very polished, the ambiance is great, and even though I couldn't stop thinking of how weird this game felt I really loved it !

Good job !

The mood is very weird but I loved it, the graphics are dope also, the ambiance is just a little frightening perfect. Great Job
Btw I found that if you jump and shoot while your in the air the big dash makes you go outside of the map ;)

Nice game. The music sounds like it should sounds in a sever for such a game. The models look cool overall endboss^^ For some reasons I got teleportet out of bounts every time I run shoot and jump at the same time. And the options seems not to work. Nice Idea, I habe seen a lot of mines and deep water but not a frog in a sever.
PS The Main menue is awesome.

Finally got a moment to play. I tried with my gamepad at first, then I saw I couldn't click next. So I switched to keyboard and mouse. WOW, I really had a fun time playing, being careful not to step on traps that shot at me, dipping around corners to avoid being shot, and trying not to get lost. My biggest problem was enemies didn't react to being shot, so I was able to cheese the majority of enemies as well as the final boss. I had to jump to 1.0.3 because after I died the game wouldn't let me back in, I would just get a black screen. I'm really glad I got to enjoy this game. :D
