A really good way to amass a frog army. It's not hard, but it's polished and satisfying.
Haha, I'd prefer to think you're just highly skilled. Thanks for the kind works Zaglik man
First froge-type game I have ever played. I liked the mechanics, they felt solid. Nice graphics and sound effects too. I like the range type guys cus they stick around longer.
Appreciate the review, very kind my guy ^^ Indeed the purple fregs are the way 🙏
Dummy I am, I didn't even realize you could switch frog modes in the beginning! Things clicked in after I figured that out. Cute graphics and fun gameplay, though I soon found myself reigning as an unassailable frog-overlord with little challenge. Would've liked to see what more you could have added if you had more time! Great work!
<3 Thanks for playing. I am really starting to wish I put in a tutorial now, certainly should have put it higher on my list haha.
Fun game. I always like these types of games. Balance could be adjusted. After two or three rounds you can swap to the explosion frogs and never need any of the other frogs modes. Planet also does very little as an upgrade compared to the others. I like the permanent doge idea, but I never seem to see him do much might, I might just be missing it while playing.
Thanks for playing! <3 Your right, I did mega last minute balance changes on the day of submission to get it to it's current stage, but if I had time I would've:

This was super addictive and fun, I'm going to give this review the time it deserves.
- The title is clever and deserves its own point.
- The music bangs and is vibey enough that I don't wanna rip my ears off after playing for a while. Really great pick for that.
- I think the inclusion/balancing of more/existing frog modes would add a TON to this game. I can echo what the other guy said about one minion type being OP, but I'd also add that certain upgrades are also far better (extended tongue range doesn't really do much when you can just take speed instead, for example). I think this would also solve another issue, which is the mass mechanic - as far as I can tell, it's not currently worth it to try and make that balance work - expending your mass to produce summons is objectively better. But with time spent on balancing/adding other frogs, there's a good chance that could change - and it'd be worth pursuing that, because the mass is a cool mechanic.
- I'm guessing randomly generating maps took a decent amount of your dev time, but in a game like this, it's not gonna make much of an impact on the actual gameplay. Your time is (probably?) better spent just hardcoding one map.
All in all, this is one of the first entries I played that REALLY hooked me, and after being provided all the info by the game, it was really fun to try and imagine ways to stretch the limits of the game (how big or fast can I get?)
Kudos on a job well done!
Thanks for playing! Mega appreciate this response. I'll also respond with the time it deserves! Here's a bunch of fun facts:
There's so much more I wanted to add, I've only mentioned a few here, I wish I was in this ready state a week ago, I'm sure we all do. Again thanks so much for playing ^^ <3
tongue range goes past the screen edges so if you get enough you can farm the screen of flies in one spot.
Love all the little froggos! Nice graphics and music. Gameplay-wise I found there was really only one type of frog spawn that I needed and it basically made me invincible. Would’ve loved to have seen the other obstacles you mentioned, I bet they would’ve added quite a bit of challenge later on.
Fun game! I like the combination of the "vampire survivors"-esque genre and summoning an army! Took a bit to figure the controls (and didn't even know I had access to 2 more types until I came back here to vote and saw I use the number keys. Thought I just hadn't played for enough to unlock them.) Very impressive! Solid pixel art! And you got music and sound all made too! Honestly will probably come back to play this some more later.
Neat little game here! I like the spritework and BGM, it's pretty fun!
Gonna give this a nice 7.5/10, keep up the good work!
If you could, could you also play my submission? (Frostbite Mountain by DiamondCore (itch.io)) I need some ratings lol
The music's really nice as well as the whole esthetic! Cover art's amazing too! Bigger big biggie b. biggerson is pretty big but he's also little. I give you the big award
The gameplay is really fun, but I was a little confused at first, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. The graphics are very nice and the music is catchy. Very good submission :)
Super fun my max round was 14! I kinda found myself constantly playing it, It'd be cool to see more upgrades and maybe different soldiers in the future!
Very fun, very fast, lots of fun. Took a sec to figure out the controls but how fast it is to try again made it a blast. Big fan!
Very neat game! Had lots of fun playing it. It took me a while to figure out how to play, I think a "how to play" screen is worth implementing eventually. Also nice graphics and sound!
Lots of fun!
The art and presentation are good, I enjoyed the gameplay a lot the difficulty curve was on point. your interpretation of the theme was good with the different frogs you can summon. Good music and sfx too.
The amazing Tome0 did our music, and I slapped together the SFX in the last few hours haha, always leave that stuff till last. Appreciate the kind words <3 thanks for playing.
Very nice music and art.
I think the basic gameplan is a little simple tho. Some way of controlling your minions would probably have added some more interesting choices because at the moment the best strategy I found is just running away since it isn't very risky and is also the best way of attacking because the minions will follow behind you where also the enemies are. One idea would be to have a ability to throw or send the little guys forward.
Just my input after playing a few rounds tho.
Overall tho I think this is already fun for some runs. Great job.
Thanks for playing! you're 100% on point with the running away strategy. My solution to the speed strategy was to add obstacles and mines in the later rounds, as well as faster speed-type enemies to keep you on your toes. Focusing on the reaction speed aspect. That way it makes running away itself more of a mini game. Sadly I just barely implemented the enemies and rounds last night lmao.
Interesting concept haha!
The graphics and presentation are interesting and even the game playgame is fun! Very suitable for a mobile game to past time :)
On point! I aimed to make it a time waster that's satisfying. Thanks for playing ^^
Fun game overall! Enjoyed it when playing as intended, but I found that you can outscale the enemy's speed rather quickly and I just kept going on, running around without frogs, just dodging, until my PC ran at seconds per frame.
Glad you enjoyed it! 100% you found the most OP route lmao. I wanted to add some more enemy types that are much faster in speed and also start slowly scaling the toads speed + damage. Sadly I ran out of time. Oh and I also wanted to add some obstacles and land mines that spawn.
Lot of fun, really solid entry!
The graphics and presentation are great and I enjoyed the gameplay a lot. Theme interpretation was good too via the different baby frogs you can summon. Music and sound effects were nice.
I did a couple of runs and had a blast. My main critique would be that the difficulty spike in wave 3 is pretty tough. It seems like you have to use the bomb, but it’s a bit tough to do that while running away so fast. Plus, I think I blew myself up lol!
Overall, awesome entry on this!
Glad you liked it ^^ I get you haha, it's my own game and I find it hard lmao
At first I died.
Then I died again.
But then I came back and became king of the beeg frogs.
10/10 much epic, very big
Haha I'm glad you got the hang for it, well done for getting that far. All hail froge king
