Very soothing game. This could be popular on mobile or tablet devices. :)

The frog looks nice! He is not a monster.

peterthehe 2015-08-24 10:51

Simple gameplay; polished art and music. Great Job!

a_k_ 2015-08-25 04:49

Give me my iPad! :)

chabuduo 2015-08-25 04:54

Fun game! Evading bombs feels great!

liquidmedia 2015-08-25 05:23

Cool Game it like the old Missile Command game, I use to play that one for hours.

liannethy 2015-08-25 05:23

Pretty game :)

thomcc 2015-08-25 05:26

i am unconvinced of this frogs monstrocity

otherwise this has a lot of polish (multiple game modes? what is this) and is overall nice.

i agree with the other commenter who said it would probably do well on mobile.

eric777 2015-08-25 05:27

Very nice!!!! Fantastic graphics and audio. Plays well. Feels sorta like upside-down missile command? Best game I've reviewed so far for LD33.

antonybaasan 2015-08-25 05:53

I see that your target platform was mobile. Art is awesome.

geckoo1337 2015-08-25 05:54

OK. I understand you my friends. Give me a few days and I post here an Android version of this game ++

pusty 2015-08-25 05:56

Nice art you made there!

monkokio 2015-08-25 06:10

Super cute! I wish I could play on a touch screen!

zambini 2015-08-25 08:02

Nice easy to pick up gameplay. The bombs add a nice challenge, especially because you travel to your click instead of instantly teleporting there.

The song is pretty great as well :D

geckoo1337 2015-08-26 04:26

Finally I did a release of this game for Android. You can directly download it using the link which I added. I hope that you enjoy my little project on your mobile device ++

minionstudios 2015-08-26 05:00

Nice game! Simple and fun... nice artwork, too.

oxygamer 2015-08-26 07:30

Who is the Monster ?! I'm not sure that game was for Ludum Dare only.

linus123xbb 2015-08-26 22:02

Loved this game, it has a very cute look and the music is also very fitting to the style. My high score was 3k on Arcade mode.

ionprogramming 2015-08-27 04:07

Movement felt a bit weird, but otherwise very nice!

kaype 2015-08-27 04:26

The gameplay is good, but it has a generic 'mobile game' vibe tbh. The art is consistent and overall it's a cute game.

cheesyramen 2015-08-27 05:20

Nicely polished! This can be something interesting if you choose to develop it further!

galvesmash 2015-08-27 14:58

A mobile version would be great!
To me the arcade should have bombs and not the timer one, but it's just me.
Exelent job!

jofra 2015-08-27 16:13

very simple and fun concept! not sure if it fits the theme :s and artistically i would liked it more if the background fited the gameplay better - ex: the fly makes sence but a flying frog seems wierd. this is just me being picky X)
gj!

hamsternator 2015-08-27 17:59

Feels perfect for tablets =)
I really liked the timed mode but I think it would be good if the archs the flies follow would differ in heights a bit. As it is the arcade mode gets pretty easy if you stay upp high and only go left and right.

Super cute and charming presentation, but not quite sure I agree with the frog being a monster ;)

treeman 2015-08-28 06:41

Nice and simple. Graphics and audio were great!

Shadow 2015-08-28 23:23

It's a very addicting game! As another user said before it's perfect for smartphones and tablet devices.
The connection with the theme is a bit weak though.

Graphics are amazingly polished and clean. Would definitely love to see this developed further!

bvanschooten 2015-08-29 07:57

I played it on my Android tablet. Works well, though the frame rate is slow (15fps or so). Nice graphics, though I'd like to see some animation. Nice music, though the sound effects are a little minimal.

geckoo1337 2015-08-29 16:34

Thank you for your support bvanschooten. I have tested my project on a Samsung Galaxy Tab4 and different other mobile devices. I played with a good frame rate. However I know that I can optimize some code parts. Thank you ++

zeriver 2015-08-30 10:41

Neat game for smartphones, shame mine is broken at the moment. Anyway mechanics are pretty simplistic but kinda addicting, fun game to jump in when you have 5-10 free minutes (which is ideal for mobile games).

dregamr 2015-08-30 15:52

Graphics are really good!!
Fun, great music...
It's a really good work!! I loved it! :)

ulydev 2015-08-30 16:41

Cute and polished entry!

derr 2015-08-31 09:44

The fresh colors and the relaxing music made the zen mode real fun to play. I have no mercy with those pesky flies whatsoever! One round began with 5 bombs flying at me, but I survived.

francismoy 2015-08-31 16:02

The atmosphere of the graphics and audio have nothing in common. A video game simple and fun, perfect for mobiles.

puppetmaster 2015-08-31 18:11

Love the comic graphics, the game elements could have some little animation. The music makes the mood. Lovely entry, congrats!

leom 2015-08-31 21:46

The arcade is just too hard ! ^^
Fun to play and very clean graphics.

mubox 2015-09-01 16:24

Very good art. :]
Good casual game.

bombjack 2015-09-02 18:45

would be funnier on touch device. unfortunately I had to test it on my computer. I don't remember when frogs became monsters ;p

hthomson 2015-09-04 18:33

Basic premise is quite fun, although I feel like the controls would have been more intuitive had the frog followed the mouse cursor rather than having to click. This was more of an issue on the arcade game mode, the zen and timer modes both worked fine with the default control scheme.

marvalgames 2015-09-05 01:13

This game tricked me into thinking it was easy because its cute. Very polished and fun. Solid . played on tablet

crucknuk 2015-09-07 13:08

Nice game! I really like the graphis. This game reminds me of fruit ninja

xwarzonex 2015-09-07 15:51

I enjoyed the game, I think it is a pretty solid entry. I like the art, and I really like the splatter (would have been nice to have audio on the splat). The only thing I have against this game, is I don't see how this applies to the theme. Besides that, nice entry!

Bug notice : You can't collect timers

geckoo1337 2015-09-07 18:50

XWarZonex. Thank you for your comment. When the frog monster hits a time bonus, it not disappears, but time flow decreases - time=time/2. It's not a bug ++

flaid 2015-09-08 23:11

I think that this game would work great on an iPad! Avoiding the bombs was simple but challenging a the same time, and I liked that the graphics were simple but very approachable.

Well done!

wuballiance 2015-09-11 05:21

Fun entry! The audio is fantastic, and your sprites are extremely detailed and visually appealing. I wish there were a little bit more animation for the frog, at the moment he seems rather lifeless :P . Aside from that, everything was coherent and felt polished. Nice job, I would love to see more of this!

paveldlouhy 2015-09-12 19:36

Your game has been rated by our team member Antonin Charvat (music composer). Here is his comment: Great art, but I missed at least some small animations of the frog. Also controls weren't suitable for me since I played on touchpad. I think this should be awesome on mobile phones and tablets.

tth2x 2015-09-14 13:02

really great~
the mosquito also recalled me a demo which i played when i studied the FlashMX~~ cartoon characteristic enough,with the music i feel so good and relax~
these sprite may more juicy
love the Zen-Mode,time slowing-Down feels great~

firebrushstudios 2015-09-14 23:21

pretty nice game when it is on mobile, please try to ad combo's liked the art a lot
