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!
