Frogger clone with levels from pong, space invaders and pacman.

Crashing on launch for me, on Windows 7. No error, just an application has stopped working message.

Nice theme

isaacl-balogh 2014-08-26 00:11

Crashed on start for windows 7, no error

nerd-burglars 2014-08-26 00:12

This game was fun. A blast from the past!

gladers 2014-08-26 00:13

@5T4MP5 do you have xna 4 installed? Can you try to open Arcade.ccgame if you have xna?

andrewjamesadams 2014-08-26 00:37

Why you no Mac?

Fun game! Great idea to connect the 'arcade world' with the real world ;)

swabbur 2014-08-26 10:12

Unable to open it in windows 7... XNA is installed and working properly

mekuri 2014-08-26 10:14

lol this was awesome, I loved it. I managed to complete all the levels (It started over so assumed I was done)
A brilliant idea!!
The controls and collisions were a bit unforgiving, but I really liked it, and wonderful use of the theme! Great job!

gladers 2014-08-26 10:19

@Mekuri Thanks for playing :D
It restarts and gets a bit harder, theres an ending screen if you can complete it on hard, but the pong level is brutal on hard mode :)

gladers 2014-08-26 10:22

If the games not running and you have xna installed, please contact me by twitter @gladers so we can diagnose and get the game running on as many pcs as possible.

Good game, but very repetitive. Would love a little bit of variation in an updated version

gladers 2014-08-26 21:56

@Vytheros if theres enough interest in extending the game I will, remember frogger only had 1 screen, this has 4 :)

kikito 2014-08-26 22:16

Hehe, poor frogs! Mixing up so many gameplay elements in one weekend was surely challenging. Gave you 5 points on Innovation and Humor :)

darkcart 2014-08-26 22:17

I love it. Nice concept.

sevenkingdomssurvivors 2014-08-27 09:03

Very cool! We actually considered doing a frogger game that was connected to a racing game so the cars could run over the frogs.

nolife-team 2014-08-27 09:05

Overall liked the idea, but the controls are really difficult:)

perecil 2014-08-27 15:12

Great game, I like a lot how genres where mixed together.

jahmaican 2014-08-27 15:17

Not too innovative and quite short. And collision detection on pong level is so unfair it makes me cry. But it fits the theme very well!

gladers 2014-08-27 18:36

*Hint the left bat aims the ball right at you. The right bat reflects it. The easiest way to dodge the ball is going downwards. Make the run from the right of the screen.
See you tube video if you are still stuck. Anyone else need the pong round made more simple? Theres like 5 different ways to complete it.

gladers 2014-08-27 18:47

Definition of Innovative - Introduce (something new).

To the world of Frogger, theres a lot of new stuff :)

reyn 2014-08-27 20:10

Nice. If this was an arcade cabinet you would have made all your money on the pacman level.

phaix 2014-08-29 07:34

Good old times. Interesting interpretation as it fits.

borgi 2014-08-30 15:18

Cool idea for the theme!

dancingmad 2014-08-31 20:46

I liked the way you interpretated the theme 'connected worlds', but besides that, the game is not bery original... Good graphics.

binary_gambit 2014-09-01 10:29

Thanks for showing this at the Frankfurt Independent Game Dev Meetup

h1s2 2014-09-01 20:47

The game looks really hard. I really like the idea of mixing different arcade games. I know some of these assets I think ;) Great entry - good job

rhaasken 2014-09-01 21:05

Cool way to fit the theme. Fun and polished game, and I like how you can keep walking up to increase the difficulty. I got stuck on the insane difficulty though.

liquidminduk 2014-09-02 12:06

lot's done in the short time you had, good connection between games. well done!

menderslan 2014-09-02 12:07

Great job, neat idea. I liked the music too! I got stuck on the pacman level though, could never sneak around those damn ghosts. I wouldn't have a chance on the "hard" mode :P

lvyn 2014-09-03 19:16

Nice idea ! :)

whalebot 2014-09-05 23:34

Neat concept. Impressed you were able to create all those different styles so quickly!

tex-killer 2014-09-06 04:19

Nice interpretation of the theme, and it is impressive that everything work! That said, the gameplay is a little stiff, specially on the "PACMAN" level. Don't know if that was intentional, but it didn't feel natural.

By the way, I see that you tried running my game last week, but it crashed. I've detected and fixed some memory errors, so you're welcome to come back and try it again! Thanks :)

Nice game!Good job.but only a question: Why controll of menu was with arrows and game with WASD ??
