Super Fly by Tsaot

[raw]
made by Tsaot for Ludum Dare 58 (JAM)

itchImage.png You, a toxic ****** Monster Card Game collector, got Isekaied while taunting little kids with the many boosters you bought. Like in other Isekais, you have a cheat power, you're stronger than frogs. (Unless they get you in their mouths.) Now you collect once more...

Grab Frogs by their tongues and drag them to your frog pit.

Frogs for the frog pit! Frogs for the frog pit!

Well, honestly, I didn’t really get the goal. Avoid the frogs and…?

@mikita-gancharou I need to add more instructions to the description. Grab the frogs by their tongues and drag them to the frog pit you start in.

My fun in this game came from teasing the frogs—dashing past them without getting eaten, lol
appreciate if you can review back!

This was very simple but quite fun. Dragging frogs around was more fun than it should be and for some reason the "Buzz buzz" of the fly really got me good. Great job!

Reverse trapping frogs is so interesting!

Simple game but captured the theme well! Maybe if the game was to be expanded on you could add a score so you know if you are doing well!

Obsessed with the audio! The animations are slick as well. Didn't understand the mechanics that well beyond just moving around

Mechanics make sense and I can definitely see the vision. A little more animation and audio polish I think would add a lot, but solid game loop completed for the jam. Always appreciate people putting in some voice acting or voice foley sfx in their entries.

**BUZZ BUZZ**

The FPS tanks a few seconds after start when running the game on my dusty old potato. :potato: :desktop:

It could probably be optimized a bit by disabling some of the frog movements/collisions/rendering when they're not visible and/or near the player, or perhaps by some other performance-tweaks. But probably wouldn't make much of a difference for anyone with a decently modern machine.

Watching the grass-background jankily scrolling with dropped frame-rate is quite migraine-inducing. I managed drag two frogs into my pit before giving in. :frog: :frog:

**BUZZ BUZZ**

The audio, art and general aesthetic of this game were great and really funny. I think the game needs a little bit more feedback when you actually collect a frog. Further, I think it would be funny to be able to make the frogs shoot out there tongues.

The sound was really funny and the graphics :D More instructions would have been nice.

I didn't know frog-collecting was a thing but I'm glad to know that now

I really liked the recorded sound effects, but feel like you were missing something more ~~riveting~~ ribetting. Fun little entry. I do feel bad for these frog's tongues (or are these super powered frogs with the whole separate parts of the tongue?).

My only real complaint is that an arrow back tot he frog nest would have been nice (didn't go north immediately so I assumed it was more centerish and got lost looking for it the first time.

I think more variety in the gameplay would make this more interesting. It was very easy to collect the frogs.
