I cannot get over the unibrow, love it! And a high score board even!

angel74 2024-10-06 21:09

I love this game!

dropmania 2024-10-07 06:06

Always great to have a online leaderboard in a jam game. The idea is very simple however its very well executed. Fun game :)

xlores-liang 2024-10-07 06:11

Cool idea for a precise click challenge! Felt like tiny Tarzan XD

coderaurus 2024-10-07 08:17

Small yet very compact game. I like the fact that the scoring has multiple variables to it. Good work getting the leaderboard in as well. The game has a very funky feel.

Initially I thought you could eat any bug on the screen but it seems there is a range involved?

Great game! đŸ•šī¸ Simple idea, but implemented perfectly - it's nice to play and compete. 🔝 I especially liked the humorous accent with the unibrow, it adds charm to the game! 😄 Well-thought-out mechanics and a multi-variant scoring system make the game interesting. Great job for the jam! 👏

Very cool little frog game! The leaderboard was a really nice inclusion.

sharploaded 2024-10-07 17:11

Argh! My aim isn't good enough to get top place. Super fun game though. Leaderboard is very effective in making me want to play more :) I might get back to it later

jk5000 2024-10-07 18:16

A sweet and pretty funny little game. Well done.

frib 2024-10-07 18:33

A very solid and polished game! Had a lot of "ok one more try" moments when I wanted to reach a certain score. And then I learned that that isn't even half of the current top highscore :D

Everything fits together nicely and it's well made. Great job!

dooskington 2024-10-07 19:41

Nice concept! It's cool that there is a leaderboard

sdcorpse 2024-10-07 19:51

Music is nice!

satless 2024-10-07 20:50

It's got good amount of polish and I think it's a neat idea! I wish the hitbox for getting the bugs was more forgiving though, since you are moving and it makes it difficult to click on the target. This reminded me of those games where you were launched and needed to be in the air as much as possible to get the best score. Maybe the tongue could've been used to achieve that? All in all a rly good take on the theme!

Fun little game. No idea how someone managed to get 200k points though. It would have been nice if there was a restart button, for when you know you're gonna get a bad score and want to finish it early. Sometimes I feel like my click doesn't register, and I'm not sure why. Would've been nice if there was a bit more feedback as to why the click failed. The aren't isn't great, but I like how the frog looks. Good job!

@sheepolution, I watched the score attempts pour in for the top scorer during a day. It turns out, someone in South Korea spent the entire day grinding out the scores, leaving my table filled with over 300 records :exclamation: And this was just before launch, so I tidied up the list a bit, but left them the top spot. Others tried large attempts as well, getting close but not beating it. There's a decent bonus when a perfect jump is performed, and I think the performance varies per machine (smooth on my desktop, choppy on my old laptop)

goodwincek 2024-10-08 14:04

https://youtu.be/KyScUf-Fp-Y Wooo 24th place! (for now) Fun short simple minigame :) Love the funny face he makes when he jumps.

unagiv 2024-10-08 14:06

Well done ! Simple but diabolically addictive. Finish in the leaderboard. Had a great time playing it

smiley405 2024-10-08 15:03

I liked the game idea and is really addicting to play. Can be a hit game if launched on mobile platforms.

zype 2024-10-08 16:33

Very fun and addicting game! I think i spent atleast 10 minutes just trying to beat my own highscore

kirass 2024-10-08 17:44

I really liked this game! It's awesome!

shp 2024-10-08 20:25

Great highschore game! You managed to nail the "one more time" characteristic in this game, online leaderboards helps with it too

nimbushead 2024-10-09 01:26

Nice! I appreciate the short play cycle. Even though I'm worn out from playing a bunch of games that require a lot of clicking, the clicking in this game makes sense and is more strategic, less spammy.

sabrina-palmer 2024-10-09 05:04

Great job on this! It's a really cool mechanic and well-implemented. I'm impressed you even made a leader board, it definitely contributes to the addictiveness of it.

natahan 2024-10-09 05:41

A simple but efficient concept ! Really fun game that you want to retry again and again to attempt to beat the leaderboard (that a great addition) :smile:

nazariglez 2024-10-09 09:32

Fun and nostalgic! Reminds me of classic browser games. The leaderboard adds great replay value, and the humor is a nice touch. Simple but well executed. Gj!

loig 2024-10-09 10:38

Nice and fun game!

lakea 2024-10-09 11:06

Nice fun and simple game, couldnt beat 20th place though.

ellaris 2024-10-09 12:06

It was ok, until I saw my score on the leaderboards and wanted to climb a little higher, definitely pulls you in.

At first I also thought that it might be one of those keep yourself in the air and you will be spider-man swinging with the frogs tongue to gain distance.

I wonder if it would be better if the tongue would have a cooldown and would go a set distance when clicked so you don't have to spam click so much and think a little bit of how to get the good ones.

silkworm-sweatshop 2024-10-09 14:52

Simple and fun, leaderboard definitely hooked me a bit longer and works great for this kind of game. Frog sprite is great lol.

kazetheroth 2024-10-09 15:15

Nicely executed! Thats cool to have a leaderboard! Cool game with simple mechanics & good sound design!

ategon 2024-10-12 06:00

Hey, im the host for Score Chasers this year and wanted to ask if youre fine with me using gameplay from the game in this LDs [score chasers tournament](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/56/$405421/ludum-dare-score-chasers-qualification-begins) intermission video. (Would play in the breaks of the tournament on my stream). Last LD for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuddhZScWxo

rodgems 2024-10-12 12:02

Leaderboards are super fun for jam games - this one was a great entry. Love the frog

lunaria-rava 2024-10-13 13:41

Love those graphics! How others got such high scores is a mystery to me, I didn't catch many points... my poor froggo had to starve quite a bit.

Very fun and addicting!

zwartraider 2024-10-14 07:08

@ategon Sure, feel free to use any gameplay footage you like! The game got some attention on a korean stream, and many tool assisted runs popped up.

I clean up the database once the scores get ridiculous, so that Ludum Dare participants can still compare some of their runs. I can have the table ready for a fresh start during the event, so some nice competitive numbers pop up :smile:

cortez 2024-10-14 12:06

Short and fun, you could polish it more and it would feel very great! Good job.

ido 2024-10-16 11:50

Not even close to make it to the highscore list, haha! Cute little game, always impressive to add multiplayer features in such a short time.

bradur 2024-10-22 11:17

It's super hectic to try to hit those flies while the frog is in the air. It's a great concept and the presentation is cute. Sadly I did not end up on the leaderboards 😅.

dp3rucha 2024-10-23 12:27

Nice game. A way to keep flying would be perfect for a full game release. GJ!
