• Froggy Friday is both a fun and amusing entry, filled with plenty of frog puns, interesting characters, visuals, memes and internet stereotypes which made it more amusing. The inclusion of characters to unlock later was a nice touch and showcases further development. There are plenty of dating sims around, but this has a unique spin utilising the theme. The unique play on words for a lot of apps is really well done exploring these further would have been a nice touch. The audio fits well but I feel is a little loud, the implementation of some volume control would have been nice. The multiple responses for each character as well as the player is brilliant but one wrong statement can take you back to the main menu, I feel this could have been done in a different way, with your “date” having something to say before you are sent back to the menu. Overall this is a really good entry.
• This game looks fantastic! Such nice art, and the frog related humour is a good laugh! Presentation and execution are great, and i think it's a pretty solid dating game.
• This game made laugh so much, it takes a great spin on everyday life (for a singleton) and turns it into frog related fun! The endless frog puns, memes and characters add great depth to the game. The art style is extremely well made for the time frame given and is very visually pleasing. The game is very well made and I can see great potential in this game by adding more in-depth conversation and features on the phone for the player to explore. I feel like the audio was a little too loud and over powering for myself and a volume setting would be a great feature as well as custom voices for the frogs speaking to add more feedback to the game. A very well made game, extremely fun to play and very amusing! Well done!
• Wonderful strong visual style and great puns! Wished it was longer but overall an awesome entry. Look forward to seeing more.
• Well I did not expect to be playing a frog based dating game but that's the joy of game jams I guess. The game looks and sounds great, with six different frogs to date, each with their own backgrounds, music and even visual styles. They each have very distinct personalities and it was a joy exploring the dialogue trees of each - so much so that my biggest bit of feedback is to give the player a quicker reset, the intro is lovely but long, I'd love the option to skip after the first time! The full conversations with the six frogs add up to a lot of content, which is very impressive for the jam timeframe. The writing is enjoyable and can be pretty witty. I would encourage a bit more sensitivity when it comes to producing this content - it felt like Gilbert is grooming the player, and allusions to Pepe the frog can have very different meanings depending on your background and whether you're from the west or Hong Kong. Maybe I'm being overcautious, but I hope its something that's taken into consideration in the future. But this is a game jam and for the quick turnaround this is a really impressive amount of quality content. The different personalities of each frog really stand out and the game is a treat to look at from start to finish. Not sure if I can pick a favourite frog, but I had a real crisis when I realised the options with Patrick were sort of breaking the fourth wall, so maybe he's my frogmate after all.
