Frogatto & Friends

Visuals are absolutely amazing and the music is such a great vibe, I basically grew up on this game.

This game is truly a labor of love. This game has been getting updates for over 10 years. I remember coming across one of the early versions of this game as freeware, and it amazes me that the devs keep working on it. The beginning and ending has not changed much, but a lot has been added in between. The game is available for free outside of Steam, so you can honestly get that version and see if you would like the game. The Steam page here is more for supporting the devs for continuously updating the game. The game is quite cute from the protagonists to most of the enemy designs, but don't let the aesthetic fool you -- this game is very difficult. I can recommend it if you want a very hard platformer -- old-school difficulty kind of hard. This kind of difficulty is from back in the day when you had to input physical coins and when controllers had no joysticks, where the difficulty curve is more like a roller coaster than a mountain. You have to prove that you have master the attack pattern of the bosses because a majority of the bosses can only be damaged by specific projectiles, and those objects will spawn sparsely depending on what boss you are facing.

This game is surely very fun, colorful, and lovable. When I was little (well, littler) I played one of the first versions of the game.

PLEASE ADD STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS

This was disappointing, and I was only in casual mode. The game was kind of fun and interesting at first. The art and sound were very good(except for the NPCs, who had no sense of art style cohesion in most of their designs, which detracted from the atmosphere), and the story and dialogue were okay-ish, if not poorly thought out at times. The main issue for me is the jumping controls and the amount of enemies in the later areas. Enemy crowding became an apparent issue in the forest area's evil eye cave and swamp, where it became so crowded that getting through some stretches of land became a matter of chance rather than skill and patience. This was especially bad in the swamp, where nearly all enemies could not be attacked without magic attacks and upgraded regeneration, being so poor that I could not rely on fighting anything to make it through. There is also a general presence of awkward enemy placement through some areas of all the destinations I went through that caused the same troubles as enemy crowding, overall making the gameplay tedious and chore-like. Jumping and level traversing in the later areas are the second reasons I quit, as the jumps you need to make in order t…

very fun and sometimes hard game with beautiful graphics and toby fox-level music
