Very cool game, I liked the use of limited ammo (cigarettes) and limited movement being stuck on the ground. The combat mechanic was super fun and unique!


I made it to the pig on my second try, but ran out of cigarettes on the second phase. Sometimes the light ball and HAHAHA can spawn in such a way that you can't really dodge since your jump is so short.

A very good game, I loved the art, and I had a good time in general.
I just found it a little too difficult (I'm not a bullet hell player).
But overall I loved it. You even included frogs! :D

I feel like this game is somehow targeting my unhealthy addiction to BOTH frogs and cigarettes. Frogtown saved!

Amazing one you got there! Excellent and well thought out gameplay, stunning and unique presentation, cool ass theme, a FROG! What possibly more could I even want!

Winner in my book for this jam, really hoping you win fellow frog friend!

This game certainly makes the most out of a few ideas. The aesthetic is perfect. 💙 Thank you for sharing this!

Yoooo this game is so good! Def got cuphead vibes and the art & music is really charming :D

The patterns were fun and I almost forgot I could jump until the first fist pound - was there a reasoning for not letting the player shoot facing left? Also I found myself hoping for just a few extra seconds of invulnerability after taking a hit since you can get hit twice almost back to back and I was wondering how I died from just one bullet.

Love that the game puts you right back into the action and how the controls are very straightforward/implemented well so any mistakes feel 100% the player's fault. Great work!

I completed the game, did 115 in the rewards ;).

The theme implementation is not the most ambitious point of this game for sure but I totally love the game. The cartoony style is excellent, both to the ears and the eyes, and the gameplay fits perfectly, the difficulty is perfect too, I enjoyed it immensely.

Excellent entry, thanks for sharing.

Wow! The art is AWESOME! I love it! <3
I felt inmediatly in love with the little smoking froggy and now I need more narrative development, worldbuilding or whatever! :_D
The gameplay is really hard even when you find the movement patterns to succeed, but it doesn't affect fun too much because the play-fail-restart cycle is very fast and you find yourself trying again and again like an addict.
One of the best games of the jam so far (imho). Congrats! :)

Good concept and great graphics! However, I feel like the scenery is too small to move around, which unintentionally adds a lot of difficulty that may affect the fun. Nevertheless, it is a really creative application of the theme, with stunning graphics and great audio. Great job!

Wow, the artwork and animations in this are so vibrant and expressive! I would really love to learn more about the world it takes place in and what the deal is with these animal characters. It has that lovely old school animation feel to it. I did have a very tough time with the gameplay, though. The character's hitbox seems a little too big, and having to jump to dodge the hang pound wave was nearly impossible for me. I would work on refining the difficulty curve a bit more, but this is certainly a wonderful start for a game. Great work!

I liked this! The art turned out super nice! I will say, it was insanely hard and a lot of times I felt like I didn't actually take damage that I received.

Crazy concept meets amazing art, i don’t know what you were smoking but it probably wasn’t just tobacco :p

Okay sorry, stupid joke aside…

The spritework and animation look amazing, the music is nice, and both the concept and main mechanic are quite unique to say the least.

My only gripe is the difficulty, i feel like the frog’s hitbox seems a bit unclear, i suppose it’s the full sprite ? but this feels way to big to squeeze between some of the pattern gaps :(

Now with that said still it’s a fun use of the theme with how surreal the premise is XD

I like it ! Mechanic with cigarette is satisfying , I think it is a bit difficult but overall good job!

Submitted(+1)

Love the graphics, can't believe you made two bullet hells in one game, the boss fights are definitely difficult and its fun to learn the patterns. The only thing is I wish I frames were a little bit more forgiving, and that the bullets went away after you beat the boss, otherwise, great job, its a beautiful game and a fun concept.

I like the style and the art is quite nice, well done!

Very cool! The art is awesome and I really liked the idea, the mechanics of releasing smoke is very satisfying. Great job!

I love the art. It's really well done. I like what you did the theme with the cigarettes as ammo and health. I found it rewarding to learn the enemies attack patterns. I think it's difficult if you don't understand them, but once you learn their patterns it's easy dodge. It took me two runs to beat. There's this window of time at the start of each battle where there aren't many bullets, which makes it easy to cheese send a lot of damage at the start and skip a lot of the first phase of each fight. Especially with the pig (with the name I couldn't pronounce).  Love the extra mile you went with adding the extra surprise at the end. Overall, I really enjoyed giving the enemies lung cancer! Good job!

Thanks for your feedback ! In fact the pig's name means sausage in french and it's prononce like "sow - sis". First feedbacks said that the game was too complicated so I'm glad that some people finish it anyway.

Unique take on the genre. Found it to be pretty difficult, might be nice to soften the curve at the beginning to hook people. I liked the hat as a shield, that was really cute. Nice work.

Submitted(+1)

That was tough also, what the heck was that reward? Another game inside a game??? I was not expecting this!
Had a good time with it! Awesome intro! And the art style is charming!
If I had to give a piece of criticism, I'd say the hitbox is too big for this sort of game, you're allowed to lie a bit to the player on game like this. Good job overall.

195 ?! Not bad I'm not sure I've ever done better... Thanks for your feedback !

The art is really good. It's difficult but that's okey. Good luck!

The art is sooo good! And the controls are amazing. I was immediately hooked! The only issue is the game is pretty punishing... the hit box is a little too big I think and you don't seem to get any real iframes after taking a hit so it can be a little frustrating. Easy to fix though and everything else was so incredible. Well done :)
