Frogs > Snakes but sad frog is too sad :(

I love the mood of the game, very cute!

As for the gameplay, the inspiration is very clear and I think you can't go wrong with such a classic. I think it's an interesting take to shift the reference point like that (I mean having the static point in the middle rather than the moving head of the snake). I just wish you'd have time to either expand a bit on the mechanics or refine the level design as it is too short and simple as it is.

One key thing for me is I felt like there was a bit of input lag and it felt not that smooth moving the tongue around at first but once my brain adjusted for it it then felt too easy to just go where I wanted (which the og game counteracts by increasing the speed as you go and I get that you couldn't do this on such a short game)

I wasn't able to figure this one out. I was able to lick north/south/east/west, but never able to get any of the other flies, and I just lost every time I tried. I liked the aesthetic and the sound effects, here's a playtest

Cute game, very organic in visuals and sound! Was it the intent to explain the mechanism by the fail screen? Just curious! Neat little game in any case.

I like the drawings and the sounds a lot.

The frog tongue bending at right angles is very nice, a bit surprising and works well in contrast to the more organic art style. Fun game!

Very cute frog and tongue sfx! As other people have mentioned, it took me a while to figure out that you can change the tongue direction, so that could have used some explanation. I also ran into the bug of the game not restarting without refreshing the page when you lose. But once I figured out how to play, it was fun! I would play more of it if there were more levels, it reminds me of the snake game on old mobile phones!

Really cute, there was a lot to love about the game, I'd like to see more someday

I really enjoyed this idea, super straightforward and solid! Maybe a little tutorial graphic to show that you can curve the tongue, my first thought after getting the flies directly next to me was that there must be some way to move around. The art is really cute too, I love the win screen :)

fail screen does not disappear, and you can hear yourself still playing in the background (using firefox if that helps) other than that i really like this game

The game was intuitive, but I have no idea how to move the frog other than up, down, left, or right.  Anyflies on a diagonal seem impossible to catch, and I'm not sure how to "win" since every mistake ends in a fail screen.   Love the art style and feel-good tunes.

Really cute game + fun sounds and great art! Like others have said a reset button would be nice. Great work!

Submitted(+1)

there is a bug where after you lose the game is restarted (i can hear the sounds) but the game end picture stays on the screen, otherwise a very cool idea

I couldn't figure out how to move, after eating the 4 in cardinal directions, I didn't know what to do.

well that was lol weird i like the gameplay tho

very cute, love the audio and art style, gameplay mechanics a bit simple but ok, gamestate handling can be improved, when you make a mistake the game has to be reloaded

Super cute!

Short and sweet, lovely art style. I like the noise the tongue makes! A reset button when you win or fail could be a useful addition.

I really dig the music, very relaxing

Beautiful watercolor art

If you win or get tongue tied tho, there's no way to restart besides refreshing the gamepage
