How does you game fit the theme?
Many claim that The Loveland Frog isn't real. The goal of the game is to take a photo of something that shouldn't exist.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

Jamming music and super cute characters, great stuff
I loved Where's Waldo as a kid, so this was right up my alley! The details of the word were great - felt lived in!
Interesting idea for a game. Its like Where's Waldo with frogs. Would be interesting to see this further developed.
Great idea and really good implementation! Particularly the programming of the people--the people's algorithms felt very realistic. It looks like you procedurally generated the models, maybe? If so, very nicely done. I really did find this addictive; I just wish the frog showed up a little more often because finding him did get frustrating sometimes.
Thank you so much! I can't take too much credit for the pathing of the people, I was mostly using Unity's NavMesh system, setting rules on the sidewalk vs roads so people don't walk around everywhere. And you're right, when a person spawns, a bunch of rolls are made for which accessories are enabled and random colours are assigned (within a specific colour palette). We do the same for the frog where it only has 3 of the 6 possible traits, so sometimes he's harder to spot if his skin doesn't end up green (we were concerned if he always had green skin it'd be too easy to spot him every time). I really appreciate the feedback though, I'm glad you enjoyed your time playing our game!
great game! It was fun and I like how time of day changes and more people come out. It's like a procedural where's waldo. I also like the variety in the people. It's fun to watch them walk around. Nice music, too. And bonus points for doggos :D
Very cool game! Love the win screen image as well!! I definitely was fooled by the frog hat wear-ers a few times
Very neat little game ! Looks amazing <3
I loved how the game is simple :)
The music is lovely if it's just for the main menu, the frog sketch is amazing.
day/night cycle I thought it gonna make it harder but it's not. Because you already know his shape, but first time it was hard to spot.
Check out our game if you can

i love this!!
the frogs pretty tough to spot but the music being such a bap and the day/night cycle making the world feel like its progressing keep me going, i wanna find the frog again!! this frog will not be left alone as long as im around to find them!!
great job on this game!
Hahahaha thanks for such an enthusiastic review, this is exactly what we were going for! I'm so glad you're enjoying the game! 🐸📸💖
This is well done! The UI is adorable, I love the notes and pictures! It was bit difficult to find frog man mainly cause the world might be too small. I wouldn't want it to be super easy but maybe a smidge bigger because they are also moving and eye color and the tongue were the things to look out for and that was a little hard to see. I actually just mis-clicked and it so happened to have the frogman in frame.
The music is also catchy in a good way and made the tone very fun.
This is a really enjoyable game.. played it for way longer than I'd like to admit lol. It can be a bit laggy, but that's the only downside. Oh, and I absolutely loved the music!
That's amazing to hear! Our goal was to make a game you can just chill with, I'm glad you enjoyed your time with it. As for the lag, unfortunately I think we hit some limits with the Web build, the Windows build runs a lot smoother!
I enjoyed it, though I agree with everyone else, it's very had to find the frog man!
I had fun though. It's a very creative concept with cute music and art style, so it's enjoyable even if it takes a while to find him.
I love the look of the game! I kept wanting a rotate camera button, but the other controls felt really nice. The music was really fun too!
Great game.
I had a hard time finding frog man, but I found Walter White. 10/10.
Maybe a bit too hard, since I could not find the darn thing once and that ate my enjoyment of it quite a bit. Cool implementation and neat assets and music.
Thank you for playing our game and leaving feedback!
Just wanted to point out that the frog only gets 3 random traits out of the possible 6. I think we should have made that clearer in the game, as it may have made the game appear harder than it is
I got that frog - thanks for the experience!
Really Cool Concept and neat implementation of the theme !
I would to love get some feedback of my game from u :)
Very funny and well made game! I had a lot of fun hunting down the cryptid, even though I managed to find it only once :P
The background music is very cool and catchy, well done!
Good job and have fun jamming!! ^^
Thanks for the kind comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the game! The game is a little more difficult than we intended, just wanted to point out that the frog only gets 3 random traits out of the possible 6.
Too bad you didn't play longer, we added multiple songs that change as you progress! 🎵
Realy Cool Game! But It got hard after some time.
