Hop hop don't stop. by erebrus
The hurricane is coming and the little frog has to run away and find a shelter before it comes to the rainforest and catches it! On the way, you have to eat tiny insects, preparing for the harsh weather, as you’re not sure when it’ll be safe to come out of the hiding spot. Other animals are also running away, your predators, and they’re also looking for food to prepare for the difficult living conditions. You must run as far as possible, eat insects, and don’t get eaten!
Theme: You hung tiny creatures, and you are self are tiny when compared to the predator above you.

Also, the tutorial is very well done. The game has some unique mechanics, but they're introduced one by one and it's very easy to grasp.
But the game is a little bit strange in terms of challenge. It's easy to just hop to the next level consuming just a couple insects so hunting down every insect is unnecessary. The only way to die is the bird, but it appears out of nowhere. What I mean, it lacks game-y features like score or death because you failed at platforming.
Still, a very fun, colorful and unique game!
Love this interaction, I was expecting it as soon as I saw the tongue
The enemy is coherent. Clear UI.
I just would recommend increasing the size of the bugs a bit, since you are not striving for realism.
Nic!
However, sometimes it is unclear to me whether it is possible to jump on a flower leaf or not, sometimes for some reason it does not jump.
I liked the idea of bugs that give different effects.
Overall, I got a good impression of the game. Good job!
It was really hard to eat some bugs, but for the ones I could get, it was fun to experiment and find what buff / debuffs they made! I think the slow one was my least favorite - I generally enjoyed the forward momentum I had until getting hit with the ultra slow. Regardless though, a fun game!
Boing boing boing :frog:
everything is smooth and easy to control and understand!
