Incredibly frustrating, but the best kind of frustrating. QWOP-tier satisfying frustration.

Finally passed that first part on level 6 and then I saw the monkey bars and I was just like oh noh and died. :)

walaber 2015-12-14 01:58

yeah, the monkey bars are pretty much troll central!
the speed of flopping ramps as you hold the buttons, so if you want a soft touch, try tapping the button repeatedly instead of holding down.

fuzzywuzzie 2015-12-14 04:55

So cute! I am incredibly good at going backwards, not so much forwards. Well done!

riftpoint 2015-12-14 21:33

It`s so fun to play! (but so hard). Very creative gameplay

alexacol 2015-12-14 21:34

Takes a bit to get used to but really fun!

dmecke 2015-12-14 21:50

Such a basic mechanic and so much fun to play! It made me go crazy, but liked it so much!
I would love to see other goals, such as doint special flips or something. :-)

madcoil 2015-12-14 21:54

Game of the year every year.

gallerdude 2015-12-14 22:18

QWOP with weird frog man. Enjoyable, but impossibly difficult.

pjimmy 2015-12-14 22:23

cute game, creative use of physics and the theme, sometimes it gets frustrating

charzendat 2015-12-14 23:16

The best kind of annoying. When I finally figured out how to slowly crawl across the flat platform on the first level, and then saw the ramp on the second I just stopped then.

soron 2015-12-15 02:56

HAHAHA awesome :D! Incredibly hard, but in a hilarious way. Then again, I like I Am Bread, so maybe I'm just weird.

dmecke 2015-12-15 06:28

After thinking a bit more about it, maybe it would help to include short videos for the basic movement patterns (crawling right, jumping, etc) to reduce the frustration a bit. I understand that it is part of the fun to find that out, though. Maybe a video could appear after some time not making it over a specific obstacle

tanis 2015-12-15 07:50

Man, this is so hard that it became an addiction :D
Super cool idea!

waynetron 2015-12-15 07:59

This could be the next QWOP!

sko 2015-12-15 09:41

Incredibly hard i-need-to-stop-okay-just-one-more type of game. Played it for ten minutes and I still don't know what the heck is going on. Works just good enough to not be too frustrating :) Good job!

rhythmlynx 2015-12-15 12:30

Hilariously frustrating, good job!

oddballdave 2015-12-15 16:17

My fingers hurt. In a good way.

meta-link 2015-12-15 18:47

This game is so hard, but so fun :D
You got a really good idea, nice job !

elliottd 2015-12-15 22:41

this game is so good. there is so much character just in the mouth opening and closing

careless 2015-12-16 01:39

I BEAT IT! That was the most amazing / frustrating game in the world!

Just when you think you have a working technique it all goes wrong!

I recorded my game play and will edit/upload it to youtube shortly!

Amazing idea and by far my favourite game in a while.

40 minutes to complete all the levels.

careless 2015-12-16 02:50

I made a video of my 40 minutes of play https://youtu.be/Hg4_dN6NY3w

blohod 2015-12-16 03:34

so hard, I only did level one

big-green-pillow-ft-mgaia 2015-12-16 03:36

This is extremely fun and creative. However I feel like it deserves some tweaking on game design. I played for about 15 minutes but didn't feel like I was mastering the mechanics at all, and didn't have much luck progressing (stopped at level 2). But all the while I was having a blast "controlling" the little guy. You have something really really promising here :D

aplomb 2015-12-16 03:41

All hail Floppy Frog!

frenchie 2015-12-16 04:07

Really creative game - one of the most original I've seen in LD. Super frustrating but super fun! Well done! :D

browny_09 2015-12-16 04:11

Frustratingly fun! Excellent job!

bushmango3 2015-12-16 04:18

You know that you are evil, right? :) Love it.

adsilcott 2015-12-16 05:44

Everything I do makes me go backwards.
I can't past level two.
The frog looks like an alligator.
10/10

bogden 2015-12-16 07:17

Holy cow, finally beat it. Super addicting game! Loved finally mastering the gigantic leaps forward. Really cool mechanics

justinooncx 2015-12-16 14:29

Holy shit this took up more time than I thought. I also somehow managed to finish the last level by jumping OVER the tools instead of using them. So much potential!

officialcodenmore 2015-12-16 20:50

Frustrating to me, but an awesome little game! Fun!

sosolol261 2015-12-17 00:02

Extremely fun! It reminded me so much of QWOP in a way. Great overall game

gerjj 2015-12-17 13:44

Awesome idea - so frustrating but so fun! QWOP eat your heart out!

tanjent 2015-12-17 23:46

This is evil.

kahztein 2015-12-18 00:52

Hilarious rage inducing fun, although I would argue that it gets a bit repetitive if you're just stuck on the first level xD
Also congratulations, Jacksepticeye (with almost 8 million subscribers) did a video dedicated to this

felixreeve 2015-12-18 11:59

Brilliant work, truly difficult and funny! Would love for there to be at least some hints about techniques for controlling the frog!

recursor 2015-12-18 12:12

So frustrating yet quite fun. This is a really neat idea.

fullmontis 2015-12-19 12:34

I love and hate this kind of game at the same time, I wasn't able to move forward, only backwards :D

The gameplay is original and interesting, I really like it. Good job!

kimau 2015-12-19 16:53

Awesome fun even if it took me 30 minutes to finish the level

deathbysnail 2015-12-19 17:08

lol

wine 2015-12-19 17:14

Damn! It's really challenging :D
Great work!

headmade 2015-12-19 21:53

Sooo hard, yet sooo fun. Very Qwopesque but still distinct enough to stand on its own. Well done.

2015-12-20 01:03

It's very frustrating, but it was really fun! I liked it more than the QWOP, it's so cute and I actually had a lot of fun playing it x) Even though I rage quit after 23 minutes (in the last level if I can count correctly) and I've made a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-jOOhrfG5U

sputnik 2015-12-21 18:16

Really hard but fun concept!

davekalina 2015-12-22 16:19

Simultaneously elegant and ridiculous!

klianc09 2015-12-25 19:18

I think it's a great metaphor for life. Sometimes we just desperately try to cling to a rolling piece of wood, but then we flop all across the room in the opposite direction in a desperate attempt to simply move forward. It really shows the struggle of staying alive on a daily basis, I know great social commentary when I see it.

But enough of the nonsense. Really cool game, kept me occupied for a while.
But was it worth playing one hour just to try to beat level 6 and ultimately fail? I don't know. But it for sure was a lot of F(r)U(stratio)N.

barkergames 2015-12-26 19:21

Very interesting idea, but I really didn't know how to control it. The only reason that I beat the levels I did was because I randomly pressed buttons and got lucky.

gafblizzard 2016-01-04 09:15

This idea is clever, but it's very frustrating to play. :( I couldn't even beat the second level because of the direction the springs are angled in. The "L" key in particular is extremely likely to make the frog bounce left.
