About
WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOOT?
Croak Crusader: Spawn of the Spore Spectre is a 2D action platformer with a real focus on speed, Tarantino-style violence, and a wicked grapple feature that lets ya zip around like an acrobat, eh! This is a prequel chapter for Croak Crusader: the Champion of Canada, and the full game’s gonna have, like, five times the content of this demo, buddy! So buckle up, ‘cause you’re in for a wild one, don’tcha know!
BELLS AND WHISTLES, EH?
Set in North Hollywood, Canada, the game’s a real nod to the golden-age of Hollywood Z-movie director Ed Wood and those early superhero flicks, eh! What really makes Croak Crusader stand out from the other grapple-based platformers, though, is the focus on combat and action, don’tcha know! Enemies burst into fountains of red pixels and body parts when you ram 'em through or chuck 'em against walls and floors with a good ol' "crac" or "paf!" It's a real hoot, buddy!
A REAL BEAUT OF A STORY!
In this prequel chapter, players take control of the mysterious doppelgänger, Toadman, on his quest for revenge against Captain Croak—the hero of the story, eh! Now, Toadman comes to life when a poor unsuspecting leech, stuck on Captain Croak, gets run over by a car and then mutated by the bizarre wildlife in Canada’s lush, exotic jungles. At this point in our story, those jungles have been infused with some strange alien tech, cooked up by the wicked Professor Creature! With a chip on his shoulder, Toadman vows to get even with Captain Croak and kick him out of the Canadian jungle he now calls home!
MISC INFORMATION
Croak Crusader: Spawn of the Spore Spectre is a demo chapter for what is intended to be a much larger experience! The full game, Croak Crusader: The Champion of Canada will star the true hero of our story:

Esta reseña cuenta con la puntuación global de reseñas porque el usuario compró el juego directamente en Steam o tenía una licencia gratuita. Recomendado 4,8 h registrado (3,3 h cuando escribió la reseña) PUBLICADA EL 23 DE AGOSTO ¡Me encanta este juego! Una pequeña pega es el movimiento. No me malinterpreten, ¡me encanta el movimiento! ¡Puedes alcanzar velocidades instantáneas si te balanceas! Pero a veces no responde bien cuando agarro algo. Sugiero añadir una función de calidad de vida, que si mantienes pulsado el ratón cuando no hay puntos de agarre, agarre en el momento en que el ratón apunte al área a la que puedes agarrarte, es similar al sistema de agarre de White Knuckle. ¡Espero que esta función esté incluida en la versión completa! Pero dejando de lado las pegas, ¡me encanta este juego! ¡JUEGALO SI NO LO HAS HECHO!

para lo bueno que es me sorprende que tenga tan pocas reseñas. Lo recomiendo para jugar un rato
Fun and fast paced. I like wracking up big combos and blasting through the levels. Had some annoying things on my original playthrough but those seemed to have been ironed out.
Bu oyun maymunmuşum gibi hissettirdi doğama döndüm
Мне 1 часа хватило чтобы понять, что игра кайфовая. Да, игра короткая, но за то можно эффектно ломать лица робо-жукам и механика с гарпуном в виде языка главного героя мне тоже понравилась, а бой с боссом карликом был драйвовым и я прошёл его только 10 попытки где-то. Очень жду Чемпиона Канады и надеюсь у игры появится своя фан база.

Real good game, eh?
MAKE SURE TO READ THE FINAL PARAGRAPH YESSS 11/10 I was looking for copper and found diamond I have NEVER, In my over a decade of gaming, across the incredible variety of games i've played, had a game immediately click like this did. The controls were as frictionless a supercooled magnet. Hell, even just looking at the steam page, i immediately knew that if this game was good, it would be perfect for me. It's not good, it's PHENOMENAL. I am slow, not in like an "I'm dumb" way, but in that i take a lot of time and think through just about everything i do, in all of life, in and outside of video games, usually up until something becomes a learned behavior i can do automatically. I also usually like to try and fully understand every mechanic I'm encountering and to do every single side mission. So you best believe, when i say, that me immediately, no hesitation just going rampage mode on all these creatures without worrying about collecting everything and trying to 100% the level, is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ MIRACLE. Seriously, i even play ultrakill and the little bit of pizza tower i tried like that, so for this game to break past that is incredible. The visual's are designed perfectly to make it so that despite the absurdity happening on screen, the important things are visible. The sound design is juicy. The tongue/grapple hook is so intuitive that, as i said, 0 friction for me. Though I will admit, i have a [b]LOT[/b] of experience with both grapple hooks in video games (both in general and this specific type of 2d grab and fling), and with this type frantic, cross-screen mouse movement (thanks osu!), which almost certainly played a huge role in how this game clicked for me. WAIT OH MY GOD I FIGURED OUT WHAT THIS GAME'S MOVEMENT REMINDS ME OF. Getting Over It. In some sick, and twisted way, this is like Getting Over It's movement but on crack. Minus all the weird bits that make it feel awful at first, plus far more pull power, and no finnicky setting down your hammer in the perfect spot so you dont slide off, you just click and pull. Also yes, the music is really good. Ok i have a headache now, going to bed, goonite WAIT NO NOT YET. i need to talk about the settings :) Theres an input display setting, a speedrun timer setting that can do level or file (iirc), and all the volume sliders start at halfway, which for me was a bit under tuned, but im sure it kept a lot of people from getting their eardrums blown out!!! Edit: RELEASE THE NEXT GAME AND MY LIFE IS YOURS! or just whatever the game costs ig, i wanna give you money but this one is free sooo Double but more important edit: Ok, i unfortunately, have to agree with the really long negative review about this being an advertisement that really should have been a demo. I'm not gonna swap to a dont recommend yet though, i need to come back with a cooler head some other time, plus i still need to finish it! But knowing myself i can definitely see a world where i do change to a dont recommend for the morals, even though i DID enjoy the game. Perhaps i'll come back some day and edit this review to add a more analytical viewpoint rather than only how i felt. For all i know, something in the game, or even in the sequel/maybe originally intended full version might convince me that review is mistaken (though unlikely)
Приключенческий экшен‑платформер с элементами RPG: игрок берёт на себя роль отважной лягушки‑воина, исследует загадочный грибной мир, сражается с причудливыми существами и раскрывает тайну зловещего Спорового Призрака. Плюсы: самобытный визуальный стиль — фантастический мир с биолюминесцентными грибами, странными существами и атмосферными пейзажами; разнообразный арсенал оружия и способностей лягушки — от прыжковых атак до ядовитых выделений; увлекательный сеттинг с элементами хоррора и фэнтези — необычная смесь создаёт запоминающуюся атмосферу. Минусы: нет русской локализации — весь текст и диалоги на английском языке; местами запутанная навигация — в больших локациях легко потеряться без чёткой карты или маркеров; неравномерное распределение сложности — некоторые боссы требуют множества попыток из‑за резких скачков трудности. Итог: оригинальный экшен для любителей необычных миров и платформеров с RPG‑элементами — подойдёт тем, кто готов отправиться в грибное приключение в роли боевой лягушки, сразиться с причудливой нечистью и разгадать тайну Спорового Призрака в странном и красочном сеттинге.
