I really enjoyed the puzzles -- the solution to the second level was really satisfying once it clicked, and the constraint of only having one of each frog kept it approachable. To flesh things out more, it might be cool to have a few easier levels that introduce the player to each frog one at a time. Nice job!
I enjoyed the puzzles, you subverted my expectations a bit with some of them, the music is a bit jarring when it starts over when you reload the level but the frogs are cute so I don't mind :)
The puzzle design and frog abilities are great
Wow, my girlfriend and I had a lot of fun playing this game. The puzzles were fun, and it was nice that it had a completion state. The animation at the end was a lot of fun. 🙂
We've done it!
Level 2 was the hardest for me for some reason. The rest went very smooth though! Really nice puzzle game and now I have itch to play some incredible machines :)
Btw on my 4k monitor it was really hard sometimes to place those froggies at the bottom of the screen - ui was on top and I constantly would select frog instead. Its possible, but slightly awkward!
Love the concept. Really wanted to be able to press spacebar to start the level. Wish I could move the frogs after they were placed without having to reset the whole level.
I'll be honest I love games like this but also suck at games like this. But that's my fault, not yours! Love the story concept and the mechanics of the different frogs! Mischievous frogs make me happy.
Each frog's ability was well put together. I loved the interactions between the frogs (ie. the jump frog eyes bulging when being pushed around, etc.). Physics seemed a bit inconsistent at times. Nice little puzzle game!
Thanks for all the feedback:
@leckert Glad you liked it! Great suggestion with starter levels.
@malte-hedenstrom What a compliment! And your suggestion is definitely something to consider with sound design for the future.
@hakusai Thanks!
@brainslugs83 Thanks for the kind words!
@batisdark Thanks, and glad you enjoyed it. Hard for us to optimize to 4k, but good to know that is an issue. Thanks for reporting.
@bobap Thanks! Good feedback on space bar and moving the frogs.
@cat-lab I'm glad you enjoyed the game even if it isn't your thing, generally.
@deadjolly Thanks for the feedback! The physics could be a little inconsistent, and there are slight differences between the WebGL version and what we had in Unity. Really hard to debug. Something we can continue to work on in the future. Thanks again.
I thoroughly enjoyed the puzzle mechanics – To enhance the experience, it could be beneficial to include a few simpler levels that gradually introduce players to each frog’s abilities one by one. Overall, great work on making an approachable yet thought-provoking puzzle game! Like like!
Good concept but i so stupid and can't finished first level)
Could only place frogs couldn't move or do anything, so I was completely lost and unable to "play". Unfortunate AI was used for art, the original screen I was like "what master pixel artist made this" and then when I saw it was AI I was let down.
Nice puzzle game! The levels were challenging right from the start. I have to admit, I had no idea how the second level was meant to be solved, but I managed to pass it with this set of positions. Overall, it was a fun and challenging game! Screenshot 2024-10-10 190655.png
Really nice puzzle game :D Once I realized that the pusher frog could push other frogs, aaah so satisfying! Well done :D
Somehow I couldn't finish the first level? I skipped ahead to do the other ones though and they were all good. Great idea for a puzzle game!
Nice idea with different frogs to do different tasks! Would have been nice to have more deterministic physics, since one setup can have multiple random outcomes, but still - the levels were quite interesting and fun to play through!
Fun game, and a well executed idea! However, the puzzles got old,. perhaps other mechanics could be included to spice things up? Also the music got repetitive fast-. Regardless! The levels were fun, despite the sameness of them, and for the time given this is a REALLY well made piece, well done!
the second level just straight put you right into the challenge of it, but it was a fun puzzle game
Unique puzzle game. Took trial n errors to understand how it works. This could be better if there were tutorial levels featuring one frog at each level.
