- Fun! Completely playable and somewhat fun to play as is. I played 3-4 runs which is a good sign in terms of quality. Suggestions I'd make for expanding the game would be some rouge-like elements such as unlocking new frogs, or adding new power-ups to the rotation available in game as you complete successful runs. I'd definitely play this with a level based system as well, where you progress far enough and you unlock new arenas with new enemies and such. Theme is somewhat weak, as it isn't immediately clear where the theme comes into play. The snail trails do spread, but that did take some thinking about to come about to. Interesting gameplay reminscient of vampire survivors to me.
- Is it a vamp survivor? Is it a clicker? One can only guess. What it isn't, is much of a game. Barely any consideration for the theme, barely any semblance of a gameplay loop, and so far as I could determine, no win condition, but it was functional, so it gets a pass.

Fun little game! It was hard to see what was going on when it zoomed further and further but still, great job!
I was just noticing it on the current unpublished build too. I fixed all sorts of issues but the camera zoom out I think goes a little too far. Thank you for playing. I will add that to my list of things to adjust!
This is such a neat take on this genre. I love the frog and tongue animations! Nice work!
Thank you! I am pretty proud of the animations as they took a lot of tweaking to get just right. Thanks for playing our game!
Nice game. Had fun.
Liked how playing more unsafely can drive up the score faster.
Awesome! Comments like these make me want to keep doing this kind of thing! Thanks for playing.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed our game.
I have confirmed that you can play this game on a Galaxy s21 with an xbox controller so I'm happy to say, mobile is unintentionally supported in this way if a controller is used.
It's like Zombies from CoD but with a frog and snails. The pack a punch is so funny.
The pack a punch will definitely get you a head in this game.
stoooooooooooop
Lmao I live for the puns.
Heavy frog is heavy. Haha. Got to about 40000 on Pack a Punch and the game slowed to a crawl. Might have just been web though.
Thanks for playing. The pack-a-punch was a last minute addition and we didn't have time to balance it. We love your constructive criticism and plan to continually update the game based on feedback we receive from players like you.
Nice game crew...... That tongue is gunna be so tired.......
thanks!
I had an amazing time learning and being part of creating this game. I couldn't have asked for a better team.
It was fun to make. I learned a lot.
