How to play

Dodge the frogs while collecting as much "brown gold" as possible, then spend it on ribbeting upgrades in the world's first froguelike!

Difficulties can be unlocked by surviving for at least 30 seconds on the previous one.

Requirements

An OpenGL 4.6-capable GPU is required. Only a Windows build is provided, but it should be buildable on Linux. CMake is required to build the project.

Controls

  • WASD: walk and strafe
  • Mouse: look
  • Space: hop
  • Escape: pause

Technical

Written in a single C++ source file with OpenGL and Jolt. 3D models were made with Blender.

Wicked! I managed to survive 30+ seconds on the max difficulty and I also got all the frog upgrades. I have to say it's a real afrogcalypse on the max difficulty haha.

Making a game without an engine is and will always be super impressive to me. And it even has a FOV slider! I don't think I ever made a jam game with that and I always use engines.

Hi @tremisabdoul, sorry about the crash. Do you have any more info about it? Is there a message that appears? Also, which version of the game did you try? v1.0.0 has a bug that can cause a crash during gameplay.

@tremisabdoul thanks for the pic. I suspect the issue is that your GPU doesn't support OpenGL 4.6.

If you're willing to try, the latest version of the game (v1.1.1) displays exceptions in the console before closing. To see them, launch the game from a command terminal (e.g. cmd or powershell).

I uploaded the wrong build :face_palm:, sorry about that @sviborg. The broken build has been replaced by v1.1.1b, which should not immediately crash.

I'm also seeing that. My GPU supports OpenGL 4.6.

That was kind of amusing and making your own engine is quite impressive for ld too. Those sounds do get a bit reptetive and strike your brain though , peep. Good work overall!
