Guyyyys that's per-fec-tion. The gameplay is sweet and easy to grasp, with a smooth incremental difficulty. Presentation wise it's... just amazing. I'm always astonished at games which achieve a lot with few things, but there, this is top-notch. Art is purely beautiful, and the music (plus the evolutive sound of platforms) wraps all of it up to be a wonderful piece of creativity. I'm truly amazed! That's a 5 stars all around in my book!
You're always on point @Itooh, great job!
Thank you very much! I had a very small scope this time, so we were able to polish it on nearly all aspects. I'm happy to see it paid off.
Wow, it was gorgeous, this is so relaxing I could play it for hours!
Congrats! 🐸
Thanks so much for the kind words! :) 🐸
I'm really happy that you enjoyed the game. Thank you for sharing your impressions!
Wow. Amazingly beautiful. The music... incredible.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Music is all Itooh; agreed on the incredible comment :)
Thanks! Really happy you enjoyed it that much.
Thought it was going to be easy, and then more frogs appeared! Great game well done :)
Thank you! :)
I enjoyed keeping the additional frogs as a surprise. :p Thank you for your kind comment!
Really clean art, great job!
Thanks for the kind words! :)
Thank you!
Love the art style, it reminds me of a children's book
Thanks! I love the illustrative style of children’s books, so that’s nice to hear :)
Thank you. It does look like a children's book! Really happy you enjoyed it.
Love the art!
Thanks, I appreciate it! :)
Thanks, glad you liked it!
So simple but so addictive. Also the art is incredible. So cozy, love it!
LOL, thanks so much for the kind words! I've heard from reputable sources that the creator of aforementioned incredible art finds your writing hilarious and you should totally message her should you be interested on collaborating at some point near or far :)
Such kind words! No GOTY award is safe from our collaborations. We would win them all.
I was a bit afraid the randomness of the game would make it frustrating, it's nice to see that it's enjoyable. Thank you for your comment!
What a relaxing game! The frogs are so cute as is the art. Great work :)
Thanks, that's kind of you to say! Glad you found it relaxing :)
This is a different one of us from Alcove, just finished the game myself there and what a pleasant sensory experience the whole thing was. The art style is so rich and full of texture and sets such a perfect stage for the indeed ballet like hop and skip of the frogs in their own little musical world. Gameplay was still a little bit of a challenge for me too at times and contrasted in an engagingly fun way with the relaxing nature of the music and art. Such a lovely game guys!
"A pleasant sensory experience" is such a kind and elegant way of putting it; thank you! Your feedback is very kind and well-worded; I appreciate you taking the time to comment :)
It was tricky to balance the challenges of the game with its contemplative nature. I'm glad it worked in the end! Thank you very much for your feedback.
It's nice to learn that you had a good time! Thank you for your comment.
What a nice little game!
The art is fantastic, and the music is lovely. I really liked how a frog falling didn't mean losing, but just dropping a level in difficulty, allowing you to keep going and beat it!
Using a single platform for all three frogs kinda trivialized the challenge tho. Maybe making it so that you can't draw a lily pad when more than one frog is on them (like if it was too heavy to move) would have supported better what I understand is the intended play.
Overall a lovely experience. Thank you for sharing it!
Oh, that's such a good suggestion! I think Itooh and I both noticed the one-platform strat shortly before the game went live, but your suggestion is a smart fix — I can easily see some SFX and motion intuitively implying heaviness.
Thank you for sharing, and thanks so much for the kind words, as well!
That's a really clever suggestion! It would indeed fix that difficuly issue while still being easy to understand.
Thank you for your feedback! Cool that you liked how the levels were handled, I tried my best to have a difficulty that feel fair without being too punitive.
It wouldn't be an Itooh game without music lol. Nice one, it's simple but efficient. Well done, this is think your best game so far!
I have a reputation to maintain! :p Thank you very much for your comment. I'm quite happy with what I could achieve this time.
Amazing art, nice music and gameplay as simple as effective. I don't know what to say it's perfect ! Nice job! Bravo :)
Aww, thank you! That's kind of you to say :)
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the game.
Nice frogs! They are soo cute! I didn't expect to be juggling for dear life haha
Thanks haha, glad you found the frogs cute! I was surprised by how many frog games were submitted; will be checking yours out soon :)
We're hoping to get a good score on the "Frog" criteria, despite them not being very cooperative here. ^^ Thank you for your comment!
omg this art style is so adorable, the frog jumping is just too cute
Aww thank you! Glad you liked the art :)
Thank you for your sweet comment! I'm glad you liked it.
A very cool and great concept. nice game ! the idea is very cool ! :D
Thanks, that's kind of you to say! :)
Thank you, I'm happy you liked it!
OMG this is so perfect. Not only the art style is cute and the mechanics are so simple but so genius, I love the whole game was built based on the song and how synasthesic it is. One of my favorite games so far (and I would be a terrible father frog lol)
HAHA thank you for the kind words!! I've probably dropped dozens of frogs at this point, so you're in good company :)
In a way, this is kinda a song disguised as a game! ^^ I'm really happy that you enjoyed the auditive experience. Thank you for your comment!
This is a really nice game: great art style, a nice take on the theme, and pretty fun. It's kind of like breakout/pong, but if you had multiple paddles and the music was also generated on the fly (no pun intended).
This is probably a symptom of being a laptop gamer, but one thing I'd like to see are keyboard controls: something like left/right to move the lilypads and up/down to select between them might work.
Thanks so much for the kind words! And yeah, I was trying to play this on my laptop's touchpad too and it was much more of a struggle than using an external mouse — hoping most people playing have the option of using the latter!
I didn't have breakout in mind, but it's true that it turned out to share a lot of similarities!
Keyboard controls would present an interesting kind of challenge yes. But it would have been tough to make it as intuitive and reactive as a mouse cursor.
Thank you for your feedback!
My god, aside of the beautifully made art and the great music, this is all around such an amazing game. I can also see it with a two player version where someone controls the frog and another one controls the lillypad, amazing game!! Good job!!
Thanks so much for the warm feedback!! That two-player version is an interesting idea... appreciate you sharing your thoughts :)
This could be fun in multi-player indeed! I'm glad that you enjoyed the game. Thank you for your feedback!
just a cute lil froggy game where u save frogs, 10/10
the music and art ties together so nicely, the presentation is fantastic!
Aww thank you!! :)
Thank you very much for your nice comment!
Very cute!, love the generative music and frogs :3
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it.
