LoopFrog: An Amphibian Odyssey by hgcummings

[raw]
made by hgcummings for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

A classic arcade game with a twist (or really more of a rotation).

Help guide your frog (which is unable to swim for some reason) to safety, where it can make its home.

I had limited time during Ludum Dare weekend, so stuck to a simple idea and used the extra day of Jam time. Otherwise following Compo rules though.

All original assets (sounds with sfxr). No frameworks or libraries.

An innovative adaptation of Frogger. I like how you added fog to show what the frog can see!

Nice variation on a classical game. Surprisingly, adding the loop made it really different and more interesting.

Really great idea. The fog of war is a nice touch, I enjoyed it quite a bit! I can tell you put in a lot of effort in it too.

Fun little game, fog of war is cool addition. Not sure if im just dumb tho but when i got to one of the roundabout exits i didnt seem to be able to jump off and so got killed?

When we were brainstorming ideas for this jam we came up with this exact idea. I'm glad someone made it :)

@daniel-whittaker you are a frog, not a car. Don't aim for the road exit :)

This is a nice game, very creative. It made me a little dizzy, but I really liked playing it anyway!

I'm a big fan of frogger games so this started off well. It's a really cool twist on it.

I think them getting houses when they make it across the road is very sweet.

Nice game! At first I tried to escape by the road but did not work, only to realize, why would a frog escape by the road? damn human thinking :laughing:
Pretty fun to play and simple but fitting graphics, well done

@frederika I'm sorry to hear it made you dizzy! I had the same issue during development of the game. Part of the reason for adding the fog was to mitigate this, but it looks like that didn't completely resolve the issue.

Super cute take on Frogger!! I really like how the inner circle acts almost like a tutorial before you get to the cars. The fog of war and the ability to rotate were really unique and made the game more fun. Overall super fun and super addictive!!

Fun game, however "asd" controls were pretty much useless for me almost all the time.
By the way, my adblocker have seemed to not like script file for some reason, so I was stucked on the screen with only game logo, until I had temporarily turned it off.

Nice rework of a classical game.
Same as @macmist : I tried to escape by the road and died. Then I realized it is more logical to escape to the grass.
