Maybe you could make it so the ghosts aren't destroyed upon collision with the player but simply have a few invincibility frames so the player is able to get away. Also some platforms seem impossible to reach but I found you can jump ontop of the corpses of the frogs to get up there. Nice game :D"},{"author_name":"Karai17","author_uid":"46460","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 12:26pm","epoch":1440505260,"text":"Good entry! Graphics were a bit blurry but otherwise fine.

I liked the smiling frogs, and the ghosts were an interesting addition. Ultimately, my main strategy was to avoid killing frogs so as to not have to deal with the ghosts.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I found the king very difficult. In fact, after trying a number of times, I downloaded the code and gave myself 300000000 health. Ironically, once I did that, I beat him without needing it, and beat him in the real version as well. I guess the trick is confidence."},{"author_name":"dollarone","author_uid":"45147","time":"Aug 27, 2015 @ 9:16am","epoch":1440666660,"text":"richardjs: hah, inventive :) I agree that he is too hard.
