Froglegs
Why do we fall? So we may learn how to make soup
Froglegs is a small platformer inspired by games like "Jump King" and "Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy", fashioning 1-bit styled graphics, all made with PICO-8. Our frog friend is on a quest he didn't initially embark to take, but when life gives you wells to jump down into, you learn to make soup. Oh, and starchase too, yes, starchasing is important - "Why stars?", Why anything, brother?
Learn to jump, bounce and the second law of thermodynamics, all through merely two buttons: Z and X on keyboard and (O) and (X) on mobile. One to go left, one to go right. Easy peasy, right? You can also go into the pause menu (Enter or P on PC) to switch the inputs to be further confused.
Once you have proved you are a master at jumping down wells and getting out, you can show off how fast "fast" is, and showcase your chops to other well-dwelling frogs. Press the pause button and enable the "speed-running mode" to zoom out and show all your gamer stats to other gamer frogs. If you have gotten this far, I'm sure you'll understand what each stat is.
If you liked the game, you can purchase it to take it to anywhere you like or simply support your local dev. Thank you for checking out this tiny experience and I hope you make it out of the well!

Are you supposed to get caught by the hand at the end? It seemed like I beat it pretty quickly, and there wasn't any screen explaining the thingies I got out of how many there were, so I suspected the credit-roll was a fake-out, but it seems to have also reset my data (or, at least, the shroom west of start is back). I'm not aware of any thingies I missed, but the big white circle thingy above the single-blocks-over-water section was a little tricky to find, so maybe there were other things like that that I missed? Unclear. Anyhow, the game was fun and the controls were pretty intuitive; good design on the platforming sections definitely helps with the blind reads.
Sweat game ! I just had some trouble (like sometimes i couldn't jump left for some reason, or my game crashed when i got the hidden pale yellow thingy) but good job nontheless !
This was great!! TOUGH! The frog of Dark Souls. Didn’t finish it, but played for quite a while. Excellent one 👏👏👏
Looks amazing, thanks! Is there a way to save progress and come back later? If not, can you implement it?
Thoroughly enjoyed this; happily paid for the game. Well done and quite the pico-8 “Foddian inspired” delight.
An absolutely amazing game that fueled plenty rage from me! Oozes with style and surely will become a known gemstone in the Pico-8 catalogue!
This was a really fun game. I love those cute frog animations.
Engaging and fun. But too hard for me to actually beat. ^^' I'm still happy with how far I was able to go before falling down to the beginning.
pretty fun!
That section right above the starting area is a really touch one. I don't know if I can get past there without spending way too much time practicing that jump.
