Cool take on the theme and well-polished, gj !
Thank you!
the game looks very beautiful and quite polished! like frogger but eco-aware :D
i agree with the comments that once you find the right strategy (spamming cars through a single line) it becomes fairly easy to stop the evil froggos. maybe a change of pattern would work here!
or maybe have some more levels with a pause in-between to give some rest to your hand (after it clicked so frantically!)
all in all, such a nice entry :)
Thank you! wish I noticed this spam strategy earlier XD would've added more counter measure to prevent it.
the lives system with the lily pads is really creative. i love how the lore kind of reflects real life ecosystems and invasive species. good job!
Thank you for the compliment, glad that you noticed it, watching videos about invasive species is how I got the game idea :D
My first thought about hearing this theme was "What if you ran over Frogger?", but then I didn't go through with it, but I decided to search Frogger in the searchbar and now it's fun to see the different ways people decided to handle Reverse-Frogger. My favorite part of this game is the graphical representation of a lives system -- if you fail, the frogs create lily pads. It's much more satisfying than having a boring lives system and much more clearly intuitive.
Thank you! really proud of the lily lives system and glad that you appreciate it :)
This made me laugh! Nice idea and implementation!
Glad to hear that you liked it! also loved your game's concept :D
Funny concept, but not enough of variation for me - different cars would make it i guess
Thank you, yeah, would've added a lot more variety if there was more time, need to code faster :D
Cool take, feels kind of like space-invaders meets frogger. Took me way too long to realize i could charge the cars, I guess I should have read the description. Very intuitive otherwise, the lillypad mechanic is pretty clever as well!
Thank you for playing! glad to see another frog game developer in the wild :)
This was a lot of fun! The animations are excellent in my opinion. I especially like the jumping and the lilypad splash/bubble effect. The timing of the frogs and the cars feels well-tuned which adds to the enjoyment.
Our game is a rhythm game and this feels a lot like one as well but in a fun twisty way. Great work!
Thank you for the compliment! have also enjoyed your reverse rhythm game, was very challenging to stop the urge to press :D
MORE FROOOOOOOOOOOGS!
Thank you for playing!
Cool twist on the original. Fun, simple game :)
Thank you!
Cool game, Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Release the Car-ken! That's a cool reversal of the Frogger game mechanic. The speed up skill works well to combat the red ones at the end of the field. They are the hardest to get, so much estimation of when to release the car! I'm glad they are alien frogs though, we certainly don't like aliens! haha! Well done on a fun game! :D
Thank you ! yeah, during the dev period, I felt bad trying to squish the frogs, that's why I added the Alien part and made them purple / red :) Glad that you liked it !
The game was amazing. The sfx were relaxing and the gameplay was very fun and both calm and interesting. Visually, it looks amazing. I could say its one of the best I have played and I can see there was a lot of effort behind it. Good job!
Glad that you liked it, thank you!
Phew, glad Frogger is still ok!!
Great idea and concept! And it was very charming and extremely soothing... I could just relax and listen to those sounds all day. The gameplay was pretty good too! Nice take on the theme.
I think the only sorta issue is it eventually dawned on me the easy way to succeed is just spam the cars in a single lane. This seemed to work for me with no alien frogs getting through. I got to about 35000 when I decided to go ahead and let those frogs turn the river pink. Guess it may be a bit tough to solve something like that in a short period of time. Maybe occasionally there could be a normal non-alien frog you don't want to hit that could give you a power up?
Anyways though overall really cool and a great game to whip up for a jam! Still loving it's nice calming vibes... Great work!!
Glad that you liked the sounds! have debated whether to add an Arcady music, but happy to know that the ambient forest noises was a good choice.
Funny you should say that, I only also noticed that strategy on the last 10 hours before deadline (almost did not notice it due to my sleep deprived brain). That's why I added the attack cooldown and the faster red frogs. It did helped a bit, but did not solved the issue entirely.
Nice idea with the non-alien frog, thank you for playing!
Art and gameplay are great! Only thing I had a problem with was the difficulty curve. Capable game, deserves a decent rating!
Yeah, have had a hard time tweaking the difficulty,
having more variety would've helped greatly with this.
But having only 48 hours, it was hard to add more :)
Got a High Score of 6600.
I would suggest adding a visual indicator to display the cooldown between launching cars.
There is a visual indicator in the bottom-right, just above Mr. Frogger.
I wanted to add this indicator next to the mouse, but did not have the time to adjust it.
Thank you for playing!
The game looks really good, however, the game is a bit easy and lacks of diversity. It has great potential tho, keep up the good work !
Thank you ! yeah, have originally planned to add a few more frog types and car mechanics. But opted to focus on making sure that the game runs smoothly and doesn't break :) It is only 48 hours after all.
This was really fun! I like the reversal, it's creative and lends itself to fun gameplay loop. It feels very polished for a gamejam game too. Good job
Thank you! worked really hard to make sure that there are minimal bugs :)
OMG, frogs are so cute! Lovely art and nice idea!
Thank you for the compliment!
This is so creative but also well executed, very nice
frog games for the win ;)
Thank you!
