Very well done, nice Graphics and a catchy soundtrack. The Level Design is well done, but a little bit frustrating.

Very well done, nice Graphics and a catchy soundtrack. The Level Design is well done, but a little bit frustrating.
I wasn't able to get anywhere once I got the frog (couldn't make it up to the next platform), and I died at first as a mosquito because I went to try to eat the frog (as instructed), before discovering the ones with their tounges out are harmful.
Cool idea, good graphics/sound. Reminds me of E.V.O. a little. :)
Absolutely loved the graphics, cutscenes, sound and mood... I'm a fool for pixel art.
As soon as I turned into a frog I couldn't get past the huge wall to get the birds... the height of the jump just wasn't enough :(
It'd be cool if you could switch the way you're facing without moving (for the frog). Other than that I like this.

You can use right+up and left+up to execute hight jump in required direction.
No windows here. I'm running on linux.
Really well made game. It took me a second to figure out the way i was supposed to be going as frog. The ending is good, too ;)
Very very nice graphics and sound, but the gameplay is quite confusing and frustating. You first tell the player to eat frogs. There are big frogs that I tried to eat, but I died. Then, after passing the big frogs, I found small frogs that I could eat.
After that, I couldn't get any further. I couldn't find birds because I couldn't jump high enough to the next platform.
Your screenshots look great. I wish there was a Mac version so I could try it out.
Wow, that was awesome! Beautiful pixel art, great music and fun to play as well.
Very difficult gameplay, really reminded of some of the titles from the Amiga era. I loved the ending, it felt rewarding once I got there.
The music was really good, again it captured some of the memories I had from Amiga titles.
Graphics were excellent also, the overall style was fitting and enjoyable.
Great game.
God that was hard. Love the ending. Might was not mention you have to go back as the frog.
I also liked how the difficulty changed as you evolved. Don't know it that was intentional or not.
The controls are a bit finicky, especially with the frog lining up a proper jump is a bit too difficult. Otherwise nice job!
I cant go up the wall being a frog...
Great game, but controlling the frog is driving me crazy haha
Brilliant game. Wonderful pixel art and a great sense of humour. I agree that the controls are a little tricksy sometimes but that's the challenge, right? And like other people have said, great ending as well. Really well done.
Nice tunes, and nice pixels
this i actually quiet hard. nice pixel art and feel to the game. very nice controls.
Pretty good game, graphics were excellent, nice sound, but in my opinion the frog was a bit hard to control. Otherwise, good job.
I know I are what you eat, but I'm pretty sure that's not how evolution works... still, great game =)
This is awesome!
Graphics and music were excellent, brilliant job :)
Gameplay was fun, too, despite the confusion with the bigger frogs at the beginning, and the need to carefully plan the jumps (in frog mode) to reach higher places.
@KR-Eddie
It's just my joke about avolution %)
MAN, I LOVED THIS!
Awesome graphics, very well used mechanics and the level design is rewarding!
:)
Liked it a lot! I didn't die at penguins, but that part was a little too long considering the risk of death, in my opinion. Might want to make it a bit shorter, or safer.
I LOVE this graphic style! game was great was well!
nice graphics and music, but I got stuck in the frog part, can't jump higher even with up+right T_T
Loved this, super 8 bit style. You got three 5 stars from me (theme, gfx, audio). Not gonna mention more because I dont want to spoil for anybody else. Great :D
Good stuff! But, I couldn't figure out how to get beyond the frog mode. Still, it's really impressive for 48 hours!
If anyone stuck on the frog mode, here my solution:
***SPOILER***
1) Jump into left hole, from which you fly as mosquit. You need to turn back to the start.
2) Use long jump (left-right keys) to jump pits. And hight jump (up key) to get to the edge of "islands" between pits.
3) At the start you can jump up on left wall. Move left and you find first birds lair.
4) Second birds lair located slightly higher. Move to left until limit. There is you need jump up to the top platform. To do this move left to the left wall. Then do one long jump right. Now you must land on the brick. Then press left+up to execute hight left jump. Then do one long jump right. Here is second birds lair =)
Very very nice. It was interesting to see how each of the creatures would control, and I really liked controlling the frog.
Great little game, ending was epic too. The music is decent, graphical style is great too, all in all a very nice entry.
Good game!
That was certainly very unique - can't say I've seen a mosquito evolve into a frog by eating some of them! :P The music was great, and really suited the graphic style. I enjoyed the sense of humour present throughout. :D
I love the design of the level and how the different mechanics changes it. The frog movement is a little bit irritating though :)
Also, best ending evah :D
Very polished, and long too! Penguin and frog modes were a bit frustrating because of the controls. I did manage to become human... and what comes after that.
Wow this is my favourite game so far. And it reminds me so much to my game :D
Nice graphics and sound, I like the mechanics too, but it´s very hard to jump where I want and this makes the game a bit frustrating.
Amazing game, best humour i've seen so far. It's fantastic how many things you did in only 48 hours!
Really nice game, even if controls were terrible è_é
Excellent game. I almost couldn't get up to the second bird nest, even with your directions. But that's about the only problem I found. Clever, and looks great!
looks very nice.
but seems to be very hard, I died every time at the first frogs. Maybe I am just too stupid to play the game or I am too tired. I try it tomorrow again ;)
platforming with the frog was too difficult. Otherwise looked good. Wish I could have finished it.
If someone stuck, you can see this let's play:

Really nice !
Maybe put some effort on writing correct English next time !
If you like eating cute animals, check out our game !
Nice game! The only part I didn't liked is the dog eating thing but aside from that everything is allright.
Wow, very nice! It's simple but I really couldn't let it go before I finished. And the ending is well worthy it! :D
The dark humor is awesome, but what I really enjoyed the most was the absolutely nonsense science notion. hahaha
The part with the frog almost made me give up, not because it's hard to control (I understand THAT is the challenge after all), but because the wall to the right (right after you become frog) is just tall enough for you to not reach it for a few pixels. It makes it seem like I was doing something wrong or the game had some bug. The tiny hole that led to the left made it look like I was going somewhere I wasn't supposed to go, so I didn't insist on that at first. Once it became clear that I had to go back, I enjoyed everything else. Congratulations, very nice entry! :D
I am not usually a fan of the platformery ones, but love love love this! The bad English I felt add to the humour a bit, gives it a nice feeling of not being serious. Frustrating controls for the most part, but it made it so much more rewarding when I finally completed it. Great work!
Making multiple con troll systems is always a challenge I am impressed you did so many.
Best use of the theme I've seen in this LD. 6/5 stars
The game is great too! I loved how the controls are aweful while you are less evolved forms and It keeps getting better.
Graphics and audio are great too. And that ending LOL I knew it would happen and I loled anyway.
One of my favs :)
funny game :) i like how each of the creatures has different controls. very nice art and music!
A very good game. Graphics, gameplay, and theme were all there. Loved the ending.
