Heck yeah! 1,000 plays is honestly compared to the vast majority of games out there. It's absolutely something you should be proud of!

Thank you! That means a lot!

Noted! I should be able to add that in pretty easily

Thank you!

Hey everyone! I'm proud to announce the release of Mr. Frog's Winter Adventure! It's a cute and cozy little adventure game where you play as the ever so helpful Mr. Frog. The village of Toadsville has just recently misplaced all of their ornaments and you have to help the townsfolk find them

Inspired by games like A Short Hike and the Mother series, this game was originally a Christmas gift for my Girlfriend <3 She was going through a really stressful time in her life, so I secretly devoted all of my spare time over the course of 3 weeks in order to make it for her. She ended up absolutely loving it! Soon, we both decided to make a special polished public version for everyone to play!

Game Page: https://thebigonioninstitute.itch.io/mr-frogs-winter-adventure

Features:

• A cute and cartoony retro art-style.
• 5 Explorable Areas with their own unique elements and challenges.
• 15 collectable ornaments hidden throughout the map.
• 3 different kinds of catchable fish.
• Snowman Building!
• Dozens of silly froggy townsfolk, each with their own unique and witty dialog
• Partial Controller support.

You did a great job on this! I think you really nailed the atmosphere inside the drill. The spooky industrial sounds mixed with the grinding of the drill really made me feel immersed. Even though the game was short, I think it lasted the perfect length!

Also, I ran into a softlock every time I paused the game. I couldn't select any buttons or close out of the screen, no matter how hard I tried. I ended up having to just quit and restart (I was at the beginning anyway, so no big). I think that should hopefully be a simple fix for a future update though!

Regardless, that was a great game! Keep up the good work!

Thank you Sodaraptor, that means a lot! It's been a long time since I've had as much fun working on something as I did working on this game. I'm really excited to share it with everybody

I am constantly blown away by the quality of your games. This is some seriously impressive stuff. This game is incredibly fun and the amount of polish you have been able to give it in just 48 hours is amazing!

You continue to be a great inspiration for me as a developer, great job Sodaraptor!

Thank you for your feedback! I'm so glad to hear your community loves the game! I agree completely with all of your suggestions. I've always loved the Char2C, so I definitely plan on adding that as a boss. I also like your suggestion about the different soldiers. The lack of diversity was mainly due to time constraints, so more soldier uniforms are pretty high on my list! Lastly, I also plan on strengthening the Scout Train. It was actually too strong during development and I overcorrected for it.

If you or anyone in your community have any more suggestions, I would love to hear them! Happy Chinese New Year!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! And Just you wait... I'm working on some pretty spooky stuff in future updates >:)

Thank you for checking it out! I'm really glad you liked it!

Thank you so much for the nice words! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

I'm excited for it

I can totally understand that. It's probably wise to focus on the steam version for the time being because of that. Supporting two different platforms at the same time sounds like a nightmare...

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of it! I had a lot of fun working on this game, even wen things were tough. I learned a lot and grew as a game dev. It means so much to me that you picked my game to be part of the gHost's Choice!

It's a very solid game! You nailed the retro aesthetic. I'm definitely going to have to come back and try to get all the different endings

I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the feedback! I'm definitely planning on changing the font of the game. I had to resort to using the default Unreal Font because I was running out of time for the initial build. I'm probably going to switch it to an old typewriter looking font soon!

Definitely one of the scariest games I've played in this jam. I thoroughly enjoyed it! The atmosphere was on point and the sounds design was great. It's very inspiring

I definitely like the vibes of this one! I spent a lot of time driving to the left and reached a dead end. Nothing ended up happening and I ended up getting stuck. I think I might have missed a trigger or something

I'm really glad you liked it! I definitely leaned more into the easier side for the difficulty since I know people are trying to play as many games as possible. I didn't want them to get stuck at some part and never finish it. I've played a couple games so far that were too hard to finish for my skill level haha

This game was really good! I especially love the character designs. The aiming felt really good as well. The game over menu didn't seem to work for me. I couldn't click on any of the buttons, so I had to restart after every death. I unfortunately wasn't able to finish it, but I liked what I played!

I loved it! The art was good, and the scares got me! Also, am I crazy, or was the face at that one part based on Jerma? ...I might be crazy. But great job! Very impressive for your first game!

I'd definitely say this is the most fun I've had playing a game jam game in a long time! The gameplay is very addicting. I always want to get the next upgrade! That's the kind of gameplay I wanted to evoke with Rotting Railway, but I didn't pull it off nearly as well. Great job, I'm definitely coming back to this one!

That was brilliant! The gameplay is fun and addicting. It gives me the same feeling as the Xbox Live Marketplace did when I'd discover a lesser known gem and spend all day playing it. I'm definitely coming back to this one!

That for sure is a false positive. Windows Defender is notorious for accidentally flagging zip files as Wacatac.b!ml I would recommend scanning it with other antimalware software and see what they say. If another one also flags it, let me know.

I really love the art style and I hope you're able to finish it! Sadly, I couldn't play the game too well. No matter what I did, it ran really slowly in my browser (like 5 fps), so I had to stop playing earlier than I would have like to. I didn't let that affect my rating though, since I think I'm the only one having that problem. Really good work!

Very much so! Thank you!

I'm glad you liked it! And thank you for the feedback! Is there anything in particular that sticks out to you that could be improved about the gui? I feel like you did a great job on the UI elements in your game, so I'm all ears!

This is definitely winner material right here. I loved the puzzle mechanics and the atmosphere. It's short and sweet and I can tell already that it's going to leave a lasting impression on me

I definitely feel the same way as Wrinkly Brain Studios. This whole game feels like my life the past several months. The writing in this game is really good!

That was brilliantly done! The atmosphere was great, the sound design was really effective. It definitely got to me at the end. And the twist was really good! The only bit of feedback I can give is that, I wish it would fade to black only after I've pressed spacebar at the end of a sequence. I found myself looking at the visuals too much and had to speed read the very last sentence. But that that is such a small thing and it didn't really drag down the experience. Really great work!

Thank you! That really means a lot!

Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words. I definitely pushed myself a little too hard near the end to get everything done. I need to take it easier next jam 

I was wanting to get overheating and reloading in there, but I just didn't have the time to balance it out. But I'm glad you had fun and that you for the feedback!

I'm definitely really liking the card effects!

I really like the little collectable card pickups! That mechanic adds a really nice bit of depth to the gameplay that is refreshing to see in a game jam game!

Once I've submitted my game, will I need to resubmit it every time I update the game during the Jam, or do I only need to submit a project once and it's covered? I'm asking because I want to make sure people are rating my final build and not just the very first alpha build haha

Thank you!

Whoa, that thing kinda reminds me of Chase! I'm going to have to play this later

Can I submit my project to the game jam before its finished and then update it as the game jam continues? Or is my submission final once I've submitted a project? I'm asking since my computer can be a little weird and if I have hard drive issues, I want to have something for people to play. Even if what I submit isn't that great lol

Thank you!
