I like the frog design. I think the particle effect of the gun is misplaced, making it hard to understand that it's what makes you jump (I was playing without audio at first so when I turned it on I realized). Lacks some instructions / visual clues to help the player, for example it's hard to assess when you're gonna die by falling from too high, what the gun is used for (like I mentionned), how to deal with enemies, etc.
I feel there is drift when pressing A or D... the frog is cute and you delivered, well done!
I like the understated guitar chords in the background, it really sells the vibe of the game. The camera was a bit hard to deal with when the frog would get hidden by another platform, and I never figured out how to deal with the eyeball monster, but I thought it was fun exploring the physics and moving around the scene with the double jump.
The bloodshot eyes exploding from the frog when he lands too hard was a great touch.
@munmungames Thanks for leaving the comment. Yes, there are these issues, and I plan to improve these tips further after the jam is over.
@barnabewild Thank you bro!
@sudocoffee I try to handle with the camera with camera collision, but I failed. Thanks for playing!
Oh my god, how did you come up with the idea of playing this way with a gun jump!!
It's incredible for me!🌞
Well, I admit, I did not master the 3rd level, I also do not understand if it was possible to kill the flying eyes, although I tried very hard to hit them =) I couldn't get into the rhythm, although I even calculated that I had to press the space bar when the depth changes by 15, since death occurs with a difference of 16, it turned out to be difficult for me =) I definitely liked the musical accompaniment and the atmosphere of the game. Good job =)
You can find my camera script in the source code - I used a fixed distance to keep it undisturbed and was able to keep it in an interval with the scroll wheel
I named it "Follow Target",you can find it here:

@yibirabbit007 Thank you bro! I will try it!
@ottobroccoli Sorry my friend! You calculated correctly. There are three ways to kill a frog: fall a certain distance, land too fast, and touch the monster.But the falling death kinda meanless and confused, I will figure this out!And the monster can be killed and turn to temp platform by the way, It's missing a hint! Thanks for playing!
This was pretty great! Didn't realize that the eyeballs could be made solid, so attempted to solve the last level by just carefully timing the shots.
Very interesting experiment, music was cute! Nice job!
@hubol I want to add some gameplay hints quickly, my guidance is very poor. Thanks for your feedback!
That was an interesting way of making puzzles! Thanks for making the game
Lovely art
Great job making for this game ! For me too it was kinda frustrating that i don't understand how to destroy enemies but the movement mechanism is really smooth. Especialy the music, even tho there's few notes and the moment the loop can be heared, it feel pleasant.
Ps: I don't know if it's normal, but the game made me skipped the 2nd level and on the 4th (when I understand that i can beat enemies and that make plateform), one of the eye that I transform into a plateform, starts to move again
@infernaton Sorry About that Skiped the entire level must be a BUG, I will fix it as soon as possible. Thank you for playing the humble little game!
