awesome concept, questionable execution. the retro science videos set up a surreal vibe that I really dig. the progression of abilities is very interesting. while the lack of explanations encourages experimentation, I think some things could be better explained (or better implemented) — especially the whole shift key.
unfortunately, the mechanics are really janky, and the level design quickly devolves into a mess of randomly placed shapes and unreasonable death-traps. I quit at level 5 after getting unfairly squished too many times — it’s way too sensitive, and the reset is too punishing. also, there’s something weird with the mouse/camera sensitivity, it just seems inconsistent.
problems aside, the mood is great and I absolutely love the idea!
Interesting game, I like the use of live action footage and the frog movement. I did find the shift key mechanic a little hard to use. I was able to get large jumps somewhat consistently though. I got to level 4, but felt like I didn't see a place to jump after I jumped on the first large cube.
Good, although the use of shift could be explained better. I don't think it's possible to not get stuck on level 3 :)
I like frogs, which makes this game one of the greats for me. Very interesting idea with the science footage.
I really liked the use of old science footage in the cutscenes, but the actual gameplay was a bit confusing. really great idea though!
POV: you are the experiment. Nice game!
the controls confused me. dows the shift key do anything? nothing happens
holding the shift key after level 3 (while moving) increases your movement speed (in air and on ground)
releasing the shift key less then 1 second after it was pressed (press and release) will boost you forward and turn off gravity
i'm kinda confused on how the shift key worked and got sstuck

hey, uuh, how do you pass the 3rd level, i think i missed something :')

jump then press and release shift will give you a far jump
level 4+ press shift then release shift and jump you'll jump higher
