Frogs and lighthouses? You’ve completely hit my soft spot! I absolutely love the aesthetic and the music is just fantastic. The level of polish is incredible for a jam game. I did find the puzzles a bit confusing, but I managed to stumble my way to the ending! The item/ability logic was a little puzzling too, but overall, what a lovely experience.
The audio seems to be breaking and results in fairly loud screeching after a while.
I enjoyed the game's general mood and the simple controls that allowed me to just jump into the game. The obstacles and other game objects could have used higher contrast as light grey rocks can be difficult to see over light purple-ish ground.
Some of the tiles might have been bugged, like the one "force move down" tile that actually allowed me to just walk over it, but overall this a neat jam entry! :v_tone1:
@xedur its pretty strange, thanks for your feedback !
I loved it! very cute little puzzle game. At first I didn't understand the symbols but it didn't take me long to figure it out! Also 10/10 frog booty :3
really nice game and the musiiiiiic
Great job for a jam! The art and music are beautiful. I generally find puzzle games difficult, jaja! But I found this one entertaining. The only thing that bothered me was the alarm sound; it was too loud at times and clashed with the music and the game's atmosphere. Great job! xD
The atmosphere hardcarries this game. And yet the puzzle elements are so simple yet relevant!!! The control disruption and chest attributes are so creative!!! Its nice to see that someone elses puzzle game could prosper in this three day desperation and I cant wait to consume more of your games!!1!
Fun puzzle, cute frog ToT I just wish it had more!! (well, and maybe in-built tutorial or hints) Good job!
great game and beutiful art <3
Great puzzle. I completed all the steps except the final path to the lighthouse.
I love it ! The gameplay is simple and fun, the art and the amazing music create a great atmosphere. And to top it all, the frog has a booty.
The puzzles are really fun, and my favorite part is the music! It really left a lasting impression on me.
cute chubby toad =)
A lovely poetic puzzle game !
key blade frog made me laugth haha

cool game! Great sound design and graphics! It really reminded me Knuckles stages in Sonic Adventure DX combined with some java games where you needed to jump over holes. Lovely experience.
art and music were absolutely stunning! Took a bit for me to understand the puzzles and I think I am still a bit confused why sometimes moving onto the jump chests did what I expect and other times it did nothing. Regardless, really well done! Loved the keyblade frog too haha
HOORAY, A GAME ABOUT FROGS!
It has really cute graphics and enjoyable gameplay. I enjoyed solving the puzzles and figuring out the details.

Super cute hand-drawn graphics :frog: :sparkles:
The puzzles are nice and satisfying, felt great to complete them!
Fun simple puzzle game. liked the frog vibes. The end screen was really nice. good job!
I’m melting over the final artwork—it’s absolutely beautiful. I liked the gameplay mechanic, though it took me some time to understand how it works. I think the game has a lot of potential, and I’d love to see it developed further.
The Frog is really cute! Simple but engaging gameplay!
I love the art and music in this. The way the music slowly builds as unlock the map is really satisfying. The jump chests were a bit confusing at first but I got the hang of it eventually. Interesting puzzle mechanics. Well done!
A cool little puzzle game, a bit confusing at first but it was nice. The art is very cool
The graphics are really cute! It was a lot of fun to play. Unfortunately, I ran into a few sound bugs.
frog :3
@redphoenix2412 thanks for testing the game ! when did you have some sound bugs ?
Great game. Loved the art, SFX, Music, and Mood. Game felt good to play, and didn't take much time to figure out how to play the game from gameplay alone.
I think it would have been nice, that whenever standing on the lightning bugs tile that it would zoom out to provide a bigger view of the map, rather than zooming back in and not having option to zoom back out.
Very charming game!
The main menu is BEAUTIFUL, and the graphics in game are so cute!
I love the signal theme implementation. Finding first fireflies were satisfying.
The chests were so confusing to me. I came here, read the comments, reread the description, couldn't get it... Finally I realised chests give you an "ability". It seems with the jump I have to collect it and immediately press space while facing the right way (the water). I think part of the confusion comes from the fact those are chests. Usually you expect to get items from those! Some explanation in Controls section of your page would be nice. I almost gave up there ;_;
A new area opened and I realized that while taking the jump ability, you maybe JUST need to face the right direction, w/o pressing space. You see, in that first area I tried pressing space while on top of the chest, thinking I am interacting with it, and that did nothing. Now it seems the main thing is to hold the right direction keys (out of WASD). Then again I tried jumping over the rock with jump abilities and it only worked on 3-4th try. I feel like I am still confused on the mechanics here.
Managed to make it to the end nonetheless! The final CG is soooo CUTE! ^v^/
Art is definitely my fav part of the game. Just found the mechanics a bit confusing. The sound was great too, very sweet and relaxing :)
I love this cartoon art style and frog animation) also itch page great but camera can`t keep up frog this a little confused. Good job!
Nice game, I liked the graphics, the gameplay was smooth, I enjoyed it and finished it.
I found the chests confusing though. At first I assumed I could pick something up there, or maybe I should find a key with the same icon to open them. I would suggest replacing them with something - maybe some "purple mist" for the confusion effect and like a trampoline for the thing that lets you jump further?
Also, a small thing, but I think I've found a bug with the arrows - Screenshot 2026-04-25 at 09.00.11.png - I was repeatedly able to just walk over this one - it seems to have like 25% chance of just turning the frog, but not moving it. I tried another 1 or 2 arrows and they worked find.
After a bit more exploring, I quickly got the hang of the gameplay! Maybe drawing the boxes as "rune circles" would make it more intuitive for players to understand "you just need to walk over them to pick up/carry things?" I really love the art style of this game, and the music is super relaxing too
A lot of great mechanics are introduced in this cozy little puzzle game. The music and visuals were top tier and honestly my biggest complaint was that it only took me ten minutes to finish :cry: Great work.
Very cute drawings :heart_eyes: (especially the end screen drawing, it's beautiful) Nice puzzles, I would love more levels !

Audio was acting up, which is a shame. The overall vibe from audiovisuals strongly resembles Child of Light which is one of my favorite games. The puzzle mechanics took a while to figure out but they're pretty elegant. What's missing is SFX–and this is a general hint: stuffing a game with SFX makes it so much more alive.
I love puzzle games ! I was confused at first, it wasn't clear that chest would give me temporary bonuses, but once I understood that it was much more enjoyable and I wished there was a few more level to play with these mechanics. On some occasion I would have love to be able to zoom out and see the whole map to solve the puzzle.
The general art is nice, congrats on the end game screen :) And the music was greatly contributing to a soothing ambiance.
Congrats to the whole team !
Presentation is great, idea for puzzles is not bad, thought it does look harder than it is because a lot of stuff on the map is not really relevant and the icons (especially the green mask) are not that intuitive. Overall, good job.
Beautiful game! Incorporates frogs and puzzles so I'm in! The art and music were fantastic went together very well. I also enjoyed the puzzle elements. Took a second to understand the chest powers, but it felt very good after piecing that together. Great work!
ohh this is really cute. the audio was really well done, especially the directional chiming of the light you had to collect, and I found the puzzles to be the perfect amount of challenge for a game jam. nicely done!

Hey this was awesome! The music and art really struck me and felt really atmospheric. I loved it. The mechanics were easy to pick up and the gameplay felt solid and fluid. The progression also felt good, as you introduced the player to the mechanics in the beginning. Awesome art! Who did the final 'end' screen? Do they have a video on youtube - would love to see how they made that piece. :clap:
@xedur Thanks a lot for the feedback! For the "force move down" tile not moving you, this might have been because you got a "force" bonus (one of the 2 types of chests) which allows you to skip one push tile. But this isn't clear enough, we might rework it to be more clear when the voting ends
@roroto-sic Thank you! Keyblade frog was a request by me :p Every frog at the end represents someone on the team, and since my discord pfp is sora with his keyblade we gave the little keyblade yo my frog!
@kanity Thank you for this very detailed feedback! We totally get the confusion, and we'll try to improve it later on For the jump mechanic, you "only" need to walk over it, and it makes you jump 2 tiles in your current facing direction. What probably confused you (aside from the chest look) was that it's a big bugged currently and sometimes simple doesn't work :/
@clymm Thank you very much! For the end screen, our two 2D artists collabed together to do it, so it's by both Setsu and Hana_GHST, you can find their socials on our itch.io page: https://egrassah.itch.io/frog Though I don't believe they've filmed the process behind this screen :/
One of my favorite games in played ! The music fits totally the beautiful visuals, the mechanics are good when understood after a bit of testing, and the final screen is awesome, congrats for this game !

Nice entry! The art and music were beautiful, and I had fun working through how the abilities worked to let me solve the puzzles.
I think I had some technical issues with the audio - it sounded really crackly on my system (Chrome on Windows) but I just chalked it up to the rain. That rain may also have made the "jump" tile only sometimes fire, which caused me some confusion about some of the puzzles, but in the end with experimentation I was able to make everything work, and I didn't mind the excuse to spend a little extra time with the world!
It was a nice choice to have the game pretty zoomed in, the way you did. It played to the strengths of the art.
Nice job!
The game is really cute and relaxing, it’s quite easy to get into, and I loved the final illustration ! Congrats :clap:
Very cool puzzle. Great visuals and sound. Great game.
Wow! You know a game is good when it leaves you wanting more. I really enjoyed it — a simple and short game, but very effective. With more types of status effects, I think it could become an incredibly entertaining game.
Congratulations! :frog:
The art and audio for this are really nice! I love the cute frog, and the title screen looks really nice! The game itself was a bit confusing but I eventually figured it out, the audio cues really helped! Nice work everyone, any game about frogs is a win for me (:
