Super nicely done with clean mechanics and art work
super tight pico-8 game! lovely visuals, crisp audio, simple controls tying together into something that's easy to understand and get into. what's not to like? i scored 6820ish and I'm pretty sure i hit a small child with my speed boat.
incredible.
Subway Surfers: At last, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary.
super simple and really fun, congratulations!
“Simplicity is genius”. Simple yet really fun game. I also like the idea about Pool = Loop backwards XD
Simple, smart and fun. I really liked this game, very addictive. Great Job!
simple mechanic but a perfect game
Well done
Thanks for all the comments so far! I haven't had much time this week after the jam. But I will try to get to playing your game if you rate and leave a comment here <3
Fun game. Very addictive.
Thank you for playing <3
I also made an endless runner, so this was right up my alley! 😁 The cute pixel art and simple, engaging gameplay work really well together 🐸 One suggestion is to use a different key than ‘Up’ to start the game. I was pressing up while finishing a run and accidentally restarted, missing the chance to see my previous score. My record was 7134, but the one I missed was obviously a world record 😉
Yeah I had noticed the end screen skipping thing :') I might make a small update to fit some improvements in that I couldn't do in the time span of the jam. Thank you for playing!
Verrrrrry addictive!!! My best score is 5982! I can feel myself getting hooked and playing forever. I think you've made a very fun little game in such a short period of time <3
Thank you for the kind words! <3 Glad you had fun with my silly game
What a fun take on the endless runner! It reminded me of playing Frogger. It was a lot of fun, especially the part where you have to navigate through tight groups of floaters to get speed boosts near each other. Great job!
Glad you had fun! Was fun designing those patterns so good to hear that it payed off!
What more can you ask for... 11/10
High praise! Thank you <3
Let's go Frogs!
yeahh!! 🐸
Nice game! I like how the 'speed' bar also functions as a health bar. Also, very cute frog!
Thank you! The dual speed/health bar was initially done because the space on the screen was so limited. But it did end up being a happy design accident.
Froggy time wooo! Great game, looks very cute and polished, very impressive for a gamejame!
Thank you for playing and the nice words <3
I think this is the best game I ever played! Love the soundtrack! Wwwop
High praise haha! Thank you! The Pico-8 chiptune tool is very fun once you get the hang of it.
This is such a cute game! Long live the swimming pool frog
Thank you for playing!
Woah a Pico-8 game. For a game to learn it with, its really cool. Had a lot of fun!
Thanks! Pico-8 was a blast and gave me a new perspective on making small games and that you don't really need that much to make something compelling.
