Overall, that's a pretty nice game you made. And even if the theme can be interpreted as "make a stressful game", you made a quite relaxing one, and that's really nice!
PS: I love the splash sfx.
7 of my frogs got stolen :(
I like the art and the idea. The prompt for the E button and the movement tutorial were really great. I would have liked to have one for the dash too, I didn't read the description so I didn't get it at first haha. The sound design works well. Also the intro is really cute!
Maybe the world could have been smaller or movement faster so that you are more focused on what is on screen rather than the arrow on the edges.
Well done, this is a very cute game 🐸
Here's how I did:

Bad witches: BTFO'd
Lovely little game! Throwing the frogs in the ponds is a bit janky, and they don't always go where you expect them to, but a really nice experience overall!
Cute witch/10
Also.. the witch walls with the music is terrifying..
Movement felt a little bit slow, i mean i try to save those cute little frogs, why don't i run to get rid of those witches :<
Lost 2 poor frogs to soop, but i'm proud of the frogs i saved :3
I REALLY loved the little cute add-ons some frogs had - made some of them WAY more important to save than others :p
I thought the main point was to put the frogs in the water! Very cute and beautiful game
Movement was a little slow to me, but it doesn't really make the game more difficult since the enemies match the speed, it just feels slow to play.
Would save frog friends again though.
Thank you so much for the amazing feedback, we've fixed some of the issues including the slow moving speed (but it will be in a post-jam version to keep things fair)
I throw them in the water and they jump out! I ALMOST made soup with them along with the other witches.
Joking aside, a very well done game. Very nice graphics and audio.
I found the gameplay a little slow. Perhaps increasing the speed a little would make the mood more desperate.
Congratulations!
After a while, the music started to annoy me, and the fact that my character is not faster also slightly bothered me.
But these are a few shortcomings of an otherwise very beautifully crafted game. the bow tie frog was the best. I didn't give up on that one.
Next jam we'll be switching over to Godot instead of Unity!
