it's like crimsonland but with frogs :D I love how recoil works.

Good work

Entertaining and great job on the Jam! Would be nice if there was an indicator that you've hit the edge. I'd also have preferred a targeting reticle.

It's entertaining :) It seems like I did have some issues where I couldn't move left or right anymore after about 60 seconds.

Would have been nice to have some feedback to know the frog was being hit, like a health bar or animation/sound something. Without it I didn't feel like anything was really happening in the game other than just trying to run away from the frogs because the shooting wasn't doing much. I liked the graphics though and it was a nice idea!

Hi there!

I like this 80's, retro-style shooter. It's pretty good and reminds me about Alien Shooter, Max Payne and all this kinda retro stuff. The graphics are just hilarious and the sounds are good too.

In my opinion, the game lacks some background 8-bit music I think (can be easily made in a lot of sound-generators). It would be even more stylish with it.

Also, I would want see there some obstacles such as walls or trees. That makes the level more complex and requires tactical planning from the player.

Thank you for fun!

@nickpick thanks! i tried to make the recoil feel as good as possible haha, glad it worked!

d34th0ftit4n5 2022-10-04 20:49

@embedder72 thanks for the feedback! if i update the game, ill surely add both!

d34th0ftit4n5 2022-10-04 20:50

@wazce thanks man! btw i think you hit a wall; if not could you reply with your browser version and any extensions that may affect the game play?

d34th0ftit4n5 2022-10-04 20:51

@gossian i wanted to add some feedback but sadly i didnt have time haha, thanks for the kind words though!

d34th0ftit4n5 2022-10-04 20:54

@nick-gozak always appreciate an in-depth feedback!

first of all, thanks alot for the kind words!

And the music was skipped due to time constraints sadly so i might add some music in a future update! and i never considered obstacles! ill surely look into adding them! thanks for the suggestions!

I really enjoyed this shooter game. The game lack some music. It could help the atmosphere. The frog are well drawn and minifrog too.

An interesting game concept. I like to defeat several enemies at once. Good job!

pxgluz 2022-10-08 09:04

Very satisfying gameplay, a little to easy though. Good Job overall!

matt-ravenhall 2022-10-09 18:06

Straight-forward wave shooter, great job!

Lasted a little over 5 minutes before I died. I'd have appreciated some solid background music to accompany the mayhem, plus some nice explosion effects for enemy death. I also experienced some odd glitches where the bosses seemed to jitter around, and movement seemed to play weirdly with recoil at times.

Nice shooter. So many frogs.

nakami 2022-10-12 21:35

Nice entry but the lack of visual wall is disturbing at first :)

guildo 2022-10-12 21:47

I love this retro style! The game idea is really funny as well! But I think the small frogs should be beaten with only one bullet, since it's kinda hard to kill them. Having a indicator to when we'll reach the edge of the screen would be very helpful too!

But the overall is really cool, a very fun game!

mickxe 2022-10-16 16:01

I didn't last very long but it was entertaining, well done!

@mickxe @guildo @nakami @mypalmike @ryusui @matt-ravenhall @pxgluz @vphyre @vivat-vector

Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback! Ill definitely address these points moving forward! and i was kinda hoping the jittery bosses was a one time bug haha, i guess ill have to figure out whats up with the behavior! and about the wall not being visible, that was a very big oversight on my part haha, ill probably update this game a day or too after the jam to address these issues!

Cool game. The game looks good and plays well. Nice work.
