As some one who has played a lot of Frogger in my time, can I just say that it's nice to see the frog finally get his revenge. I think this game looks good and the idea behind it is cool. The music suits the vibe of the game well. Also, the frog clearly hits the gym. Overall, good work!

Takes me back to Battletoads! Love the Frog's style. Nothing sweeter than pummeling those cars that try to run you over instead of trying to dodge them. A frog that doesn't hop tho? Must always skip leg day!

That's what's up! Very fun, love the vibe, the auxiliary art, awesome!

Damn, I felt so powerful playing this game. Nothing could stop me, I just punched my way through everything.

Graphics are nice, your presentation with that cover art and those gifs are so cool. I wish the game was longer.

nice entry , enjoyed the music, did not seem like there was an end but was fun hitting cars and bees

What if the frog in Frogger worked out with the Battletoads?! Wonder no more! Fun and silly, really nice jam game.

That was a really funny experience watching the frog beat up everything on the way across the road! I love how silly it all ways and the image of the confident frog punching away cars was welcome. I had friends in discord also joining in on the laughter of the hilarity of this game.

This frog was on a mission to beat the hell out of all the wasps and that´s all that matters haha. Fun game! Loved the jacked frog :)

Somewhat cathartic to be able to just punch shit, honestly hahahah. I do wish there was some actual end goal though, as it doesn't seem like there is for this entry. I like the art style of this spinoff. Try to add more juice to the combat, like particles and stuff!

I've always disliked Frogger so getting to beat everything up felt extremely gratifying! At first I didn't know I could walk in water and get hit by cars but after a few road and river crossings I started giving the cars the punching they deserve. For whatever reason it didn't occur to me I could hit trees too. Has Minecraft taught me nothing? I played until all that repressed Frogger hate was out of my system and was left thinking that perhaps a real ending (a boss fight? story conclusion, like where was the frog going?) could've tied the game together nicely. Overall a nice game, for me the humour and punching were the strongest parts.

Actually laughed out loud when I saw the gifs in your post. Yeah, there's not a lot of game here, but I love absolutely everything you did manage to put into it, and I'm very excited for the post-jam version!

I also find it incredibly funny that you heard the theme was tiny creatures and went "but what if the creature was HUGE?"

Wreck everything, win as a frog~ Jolly amusing game and really solid! :D

I love how the only things that fight back are the bees and dont really stand a chance against frogg 😭 the thumbnail and video are perfect! Of course there's not so much time with the jam to explore more, but the game really enticed me, lot of potential in fun, action, etc, nice work!!

Very nice! To me this is basically Gigachad Frogger, which is hilarious. The animations on the humanoid frog had me rolling. The moment when I realized I could just walk in the water was pretty hilarious too. Nice job parodying an existing game. Maybe gameplay wise it's a little limited, but still like the overall frogger parody

Its a shame the game doesn't actually go anywhere. But being a frog who just beat up everything that stand in it's way, including cars and logs, is definitely pretty funny

FINALLY, ***REVENGE***

You've put a lot of points into the Humor stat. Definitely worked on me! I also love the models and animations, they're really good! Crossing the river on the logs felt illegal.

The moment I've been waiting for since ... Frogger! 😅 That was fun, especially seeing the wasps explode into fragments! 🐝💥😂 For your records, here’s the recorded stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eJqrAXg0kg
