Ridiculously good graphics and very juicy movement. Managed to get to level 5.

Sound didn't work for me for some reason, possibly because I ran it on linux+wine.

First of all, the graphics are just tremendous. Especially for a COMPO entry, it's awesome.

Gameplay is fun, I like the catching the lollipop mechanic, isntead of simple "coin grabbing" like in other games. I would appreciate a little faster movement speed, but other than that I really enjoyed it. Also squashing enemies is satisfying as hell :)

WOW! The graphics are amazing! Cool gameplay. Good job! :thumbsup:

The graphics and animations are incredible for a jam game.

Super rare to see a python game on here! Great job. The animations are great, especially for a game made using pygame!

Sweet and lovely aesthetics and it feels awesome whenever the frog lands! The movements could be a bit more responsive, though it does make sense that this big guy moves in his own tempo :D

Amazing work, and as it's written in python/ pygame, fantastic learning material I think! Thank you!

First of all, looks absolutely beautiful! Every action feels great, has a lot of weight to it and is complimented very well with the sound design. Absolutely solid package, especially made in such a tight time limit!

Graphically, this is incredible. Controls are just a little on the clunky side, as is the "lollipop get" animation, but everything looks so GOOD it's hard to take marks off.

My favorite thing is that you don't even have to land on enemies to kill them - stomping the ground nearby is enough to send them flying.

I was very surprised that the game was made by one person xD, it's amazing the work you did here. The art here is amazing, I really like the animations and effects, the color palette is beautiful. The gameplay felt great too, great job! Congratulations!

This game is very impressive especially since you made it in pygame! The graphics are amazing. Unfortunately the lollipop pickup animation felt a little clunky.

Wow! and what!? All this in a compo? The art assets are phenomenal and I love the style. Controls are intuitive if a bit chonky but froggg is chonky, so that' good? The gameplay is so juicy and smashing the ground and sending enemies flying is so satisfying :relaxed: Overall, really good job!!

As some others have said, I also struggled with the collection animation - I was holding down the arrow keys to move, but I had to let go and re-press it in order to resume movement. Just updating that one thing would have felt way better.

I did like that you made walking slow, and jumping fast. It felt quite like a frog.

The art was great. In fact, it was so good that it was almost distracting at times. The background really pulled focus away from the important foreground elements. I would have liked to see the bg trees and clouds use the same blue color palette as the sky, so that they blended in a little better.

Really great work, this was an amazingly clean game - _especially_ for a compo entry!

Absolutely love this. I didnt want to stop playing, but I needed to leave this rating so here I am. The art style is beautiful, the sounds are very fitting together and nice on the ears, and everything in engine is just perfect; the explosion effects and the screen shake, not to mention the bodies flopping up when you land, are all incredible. Great job, you earned yourself a fan! <3

Very great visuals! I really liked every detail on the pixel art and animations, the overall feel of the game was really good. The amount of movement in the levels from the clouds in the background to the bodies jumping up and down even when dead were great. Admittedly I do think the eating of the lollipop was a little unnecessary, could be better just having the sound of the chomping and not forcing the player to stop moving. Other than that, I think it was a really good job!

raphiell 2022-04-17 21:21

Extremely good looking! I was confused when the levels stopped changing and thought it was a bug, but it seems like there's only that one level after the tutorial? It would be nice to have more levels. Otherwise I had a great time, well done.

dafluffypotato 2022-04-17 22:31

@raphiell It’s 5 levels that get randomly selected from. You must’ve just had some really bad RNG. lol

eboatwright 2022-04-17 23:15

Fun game! Love the pixel art, and the animation and interaction on the trees and grass! :smile: The only thing, is the lack of audio and sound

raphiell 2022-04-17 23:54

@dafluffypotato ha! That must be it, three in row were the same. Good to know there is variety. May be nice to put in place a feature so you can't get the same level twice in a row.

dafluffypotato 2022-04-18 01:31

@eboatwright there is audio. Did you try to run the source code on Linux or something? That happened to someone else.

eboatwright 2022-04-18 16:22

@dafluffypotato I ran the .exe with Wine on Linux

dafluffypotato 2022-04-18 18:59

@eboatwright oh yeah, that’s what the guy from the first comment did. It seems to be a Wine/Linux issue, not source.

eboatwright 2022-04-19 15:27

@dafluffypotato huh, weird

lody-giving-teacup 2022-04-19 16:52
