Great job on this. Controls felt good and the items worked great. Animations were adorable and the music was pretty chill.

Good submission :)

This was super cute! I love the frog's walk and idle animation :D The flyign feather mechanic is a bit overpowered as you can kind of speed run the game with it. But I do like that you all limited the amount of available items by scattering them throughout the labyrinth. It made me have to think about how to best utilize the items to obtain other items to then obtain the Froko's missing keepsakes.  The loop being prompted by the fairy Froggos asking for Froko's name then being sent back to the beginning is a very clever way of reinitiating the opening cutscene. 

I really enjoyed this. It reminded me of soeme old flashgames I used to play online in the 2000s-2010s. (ᵔ◡ᵔ)

My only Recommendations: 

  1. Slow the walk cycle down somewhat during the endgame scene of meeting the three wise fairy Froggos. It'll make it more dramatic in impact.  
  2. Lower the total number of feathers by just 1-2. With the current amount, I didn't find a need for the poison.

It seemed to me that this is an ordinary the walker, just like my game.

That's probably the way it's meant to be, but my head started to hurt in the game xD. But the idea itself is great :)

I quite enjoyed this game a lot, since I am a fan of maze games- The art style was very cute and it was a lighthearted cute game overall !!

Fun game! i think the feathers are a bit overpowered because you can phase through multiple walls and grab even more feathers letting you skip the whole maze if ur good enough. i don’t really get the time loop but i think it would be better if the frog as who he was before where he was so it looped better
