Neat! I have horrible reaction time so I am not skilled enough to play this game as intended, but I like the idea of it and I did notice myself getting better at it as I played. Beautiful art!

I like the art for the scenery, and I especially love the chill music.

Adorable. Loved the music. It took me a minute to understand, but I got it. The arrow and little guys were generated in the same line together a little too often.

Beautiful art caught my eyes. The controls are simple, but do take some skill to get used to. Who would have though directing traffic for frogs could be fun?

Really lovely art and a simple premise that was well executed!

The graphic style and atmosphere are very peaceful. It's very soft and very, very well executed. It reminds me of children's illustration books.

Amazing artstyle! You did all of it yourself, including music? Very impressive!

Hi @imberny, thank you very much! Yes, I did everything myself during the time of the jam. The art was hand drawn in procreate(ipad) and the music was done in a piano vst and an analog synth that I have(Deepmind 12) + a few details in ableton live. Initially I wanted to try the compo category but I ran out of time cause I still struggle a bit with the programming.

I loved the graphics, the scenery and the animations, I felt like I could do more things with the character, due to the fluidity of the animation, the work is impressive

The graphics look nice even though the frogs looked a little odd when climbing at an angle. A bit too fast for my reaction time but still a nice game.

The visuals and the music is all really good. The gameplay is okay, but I would have wished there was a bit more into it, and a end goal would also have been great. But overall a pretty well made jam game. Well done.

Gosh let me tell you, this game is so so so pretty! You did a great job here. I don't know why but it took me so long to figure out how to play. I didn't see the buttons at all at first! But I got there in the end. As others have said I'd maybe like to see a little more, but I think it's clear you put a lot of time into visuals and it paid off!

The art and the music were just great in this. I like the overall idea--a different take for sure, but a fun concept. I think it could be expanded to have different layouts / levels. It would have been nice for the pivot points to be more obvious, and maybe a win state... but what a cool little game you made. Really great job.

The graphics are absolutly amazing ! The global atmoshpere of the game is great with a nice music.
Love the animation on the player. That's amazing you could do everything by yourself :smile_cat:

Very nice art and sound design. Not too much going on with the gameplay side of things.

The game has a beautiful visual, music and sound design and an interesting basic gameplay, but unfortunately there are some flaws with the way mobile platforms work, the hitboxes of animals behave strangely with them.

Wow, I absolutely love the art and graphics here -- super distinctive, detailed and interesting! I think the gameplay has potential too, but as is it's a little confusing and seems to lack win/lose conditions. I also found it a little difficult to remember which button did what. Overall I found this a really enjoyable aesthetic experience, I think with more polishing of the gameplay it could be really good! (Maybe you could have multiple levels with different layouts and stuff, too...)
