About Ecto

Ecto is a highly-randomized nature world that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Collect the star fragments to beat the level

Along the way, you can interact with almost everything in the level

Collect coins to buy peculiar trinkets from Froggieman's shop to mess around with

Compete with yourself (or your friends) to set record speedrunning times between randomly placed islands.

Lowk beautiful, but has a steep skill check after level 2, with progression requiring at least basic level bhopping skills (although there is a paper plane you can buy to skip some platforming). Short, has charming graphics and music, the humor in item interactions is a bit lolrandom but it's alright.

This is such a nice game!!! The art is amazing and so are the mechanics! I love the frog merchant! The flying toilet positively surprised me so much that I couldn't stop laughing!! This game is so worth playing!

Recommended Aug 7, 2026

Its a cute niche little free game where you do some parkour! Very fun to play with friends and its up to 8 players! The soundtrack is very cute and overall it is a peaceful experience. 10/10 would recommend. Update: Just learned there used to be combat in the game and a whole different progression system. I think it would be awesome if that was a side option to enable and experience somewhere. Or at least allow some of the items from that period to be experienced at the frogman's shop!

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
