Beautifully presented - cute frogs and a lovely art style. And a fun little game - it's tricky to keep track of them once there's at least 2 frogs on screen. Well done

It's a platformer where you actually control the platforms (finally!)

Finally took the time to play this gime right before the votes end! The scope is PERFECT, you managed to create a little game with a simple and yet really effective concept, the generative music makes for great replayability to create balance with the little scope, and the art is ADORABLE! Clearly one of the most polished games I saw - if not the most! Well done, I love it <3
My favorite game of the jam so far! I love the dynamic music, I love the artstyle, I love the difficulty curve that's tough but not too punishing.
My one qualm is that because of the click & drag mechanics, it's kind of not worth it to use all three platforms? Like, if I hold click on one platform, it's much faster for me to whip my mouse to the other side of the screen to catch a frog than it is to let go of one lily pad and grab another.
This game is beautifully made, it made me feel things that I didn't know I am capable of. The music, ambience, sfx, the art, the cute little froggies, heck even the lilypads. They are all tied together in perfect harmony. This was definitely a masterpiece, thanks for making this game and submitting this wonderful lovely game. Really makes my day even better <3
What a delightful and cohesive game. It took me a while to realize I was supposed to be helping the frogs to eat the flies, but I loved it even before that when my only goal was to keep the little guys/girls alive and happy. The art is beautiful, and I love the generative music. I haven't seen hardly any games that do that, game jam or otherwise, but I feel like it adds so much when everything meshes into one beautiful melody.
Thank you for letting me pet the frogs.
Thank you for such a warm, lovely, and well-written comment! Your note about it taking a while to realize that you're supposed to be helping the frogs eat the flies is an insightful one — I think if we had more time, adding that to the mini tutorial would have been great. Thanks again for the feedback! Added your game to my to-play list :)
Thank you for taking the time to pet them!
I was hesitant to give indications to the player about the flies. I like the feeling of discovery through experimentation, and try to keep a balance between guiding the players toward an objective, and letting them figure out the rules by playing. There's always the danger of getting them lost for too long! At least the game was still enjoyable for you. :) Thank you for your feedback!
This is amazing, my favorite entry so far! The art style is splendid, I like what you did with the music, and the animations are flawless. It's a very soothing experience, yet with a well balanced challenge. I was so sad when I lost a cute froggy, but I'm glad I didn't give up so I can pet all of them at the end! I also love the title screen and the animation you made for the thumbnail. It's quite addictive, amazing job!
This game just oozes charm and personality in an effortless way, just immaculate vibes all around! Actually nailed the balance too, the platforms are forgiving enough that you always feel in control while being juuust small enough to actually lose frogs. Great pacing, great art, great music, I honestly have no critiques. Great job you guys.
