Ribbit Craft by LDJam user 289440

[raw]
made by LDJam user 289440 for Ludum Dare 55 (JAM)

Frog summoning game.

You are a witch that runs your own creative blog. You mix different components with each other to summon the most different and wonderful frogs. You take pictures of them on Wednesdays and get likes.

The likes motivate you to keep creating. When you record the called frogs in your book, it comes down to which recipes will allow you to call the right frogs.

The idea is amazing, the art is perfect, the skele-jokes are fun and the frogs are cute.
I had a blast playing it! The only *problem* is that there are a lot of ingredients and after a bit it is hard to get a new frog recipe. Perhaps a hint system would fix that issue?
In the end, still and amazing game, even though the Jam does not end on a Wednesday :)

The art of this game is amazing! I love all the unique frog designs. The gameplay itself is fun too. I like how the book is there if you want to buy the frog recipe with hearts or you can just keep guessing. 5/5 frogs :)

Really great casual game, testing new combinations and unlocking frogs felt really good. The graphics were amazing and music/sound effects really helped build the mood. Really good job!

Adorable art style, so much creativity and personality! So impressive that it was done in 48 hours.
Love the option to buy recipes, as it was very tough for me to guess a new recipe.
Great job!

I love visuals and music. However, gameplay wise the game feels a bit random because I have no clear goals and understanding what to do. Anyway, congrats with finishing the jam.

It was interesting to play it. Good game! I like graphics, gameplay and a cute idea of frogs. Feels smooth.
Just got all the combinations and was a little bit upset that I didn't get anything at the end. At least a message like "you completed all! You are pro-witch now and videoblog star!" would be fine.
But the ending is the only con. Anything else is great.
My favourite frog is Blueberry) Non-gmo rules.

Really beautiful and amazing art, I love every single frog design! I just wish the recipes were less guesswork and more logically determined, maybe with clues or something. Cute!

I really like your artwork, and the variations of the frogs. Nice work!

The only regret I have is playing this on a thursday ;_;. I love these type of games and who doesnt love a good frog, so combining the two and adding the social media aspect really sold this game for me as one of the best in the jam!

Amazing work, the game feels really polished! The gameplay got a bit repetative, having to drag everything and just brute forcing some frogs into existence. Would've been nice to have some smaller hints as to what the ingredients may be, aside from being able to straight up buy the answer.

Awesome game though, loved playing it so thank you for making it! :)

Loved the game and especially the variety of frogs, well done. Would have wished for there to be an end like "You got all the frogs together now, let's take a group photo" or something like that. Also I still have the feeling there should be hidden frogs, but there aren't....right??

Wow! This game is very engaging and funny. You've put in a great effort and came up with an original concept. Great job!

Gorgeous game! The art is absolutely next level, the attention to detail is evident and I love all the frog designs. However, as some people have pointed out above, the game gets a bit repetitive and it would be bnice to have a clearer rhyme or reason for the indridients that go into making each frog, and maybe an ending! Overall, great work!.

I like the idea of the toad recipe for this mini game, which holds together well, and especially the design! well done!

For sure, that's a beautiful game, but I got a little bored: we have no indication of what combination can do frogs, so, unless I missed something, this is globally random ? I think it would be cool to have some way to guess how to create frogs!

Btw, is there an end of the game ? I had all the frogs, but not all the recipees (which would take a very long time)

Wow I really enjoyed this game, everything is stunning here, and find all these frog species was so fun! You did an amazing job !

Guys, you made a really addictive game, you know it? There is literally no reason to keep playing (there's no strategy in unlocking new recipes, just sheer luck and lots of testing) but the game is so good it doesn't matter.
Gorgeous graphics, great little music (really helps creating the right ambiance), super polished mechanics and lots of visual and audio feedback: if you find a way to add some sort of progression to it, the game is almost ready to be released.

Well implemented use of the theme. I found this experience both relaxinging and addictive. Well done all around.

Thanks! I relaxed while playing your game and collected all the frogs. Well done!

really pretty art and cool mechanics, i just wish there was a bit more to the game. the ingredients not being fully unlocked at the start itself didnt really make much sense to me, it felt as if it was intentionally trying to slow the player down and was a bit offputting. i still enjoyed the game and would love to see an update to this later on!

It was very nice experimenting with different recipes, but after finding quite a bit, I didn't feel motivated to find all of them. Having ingredients unlock throughout was a nice addition, though.

I like the cozy vibes of the game, but I would've loved if there was more to this, maybe more social-media related elements, etc.

The art and sounds were great, too :)

I never thought collecting frogs could be so fun. The art and music really work together with the gameplay to keep you engaged throughout

Really love the graphics, and the music fits the game really well! A logical system for summon variations is really the only core feature missing before expanding this into a bigger game.

Great work!

The art was so cute! I had a good time guessing the different combinations.

Very very cute, I would've really liked there to be more ability to figure out what frog is made from what other than just creating more frogs and spending the hearts to unlock the other recipes

Very cute! Summoned all the frogs which had recipes and then went "well, I'll give it a couple tries but I'm not expecting to get the cool boy" and then I somehow got it first try! Neat little game, very good art and sound.
