Find My Frogs: Branches

Another cozy hidden-object game from Dorota and Aleksander, I would say a small improvement over the last one, felt like it had a few more smaller areas, but generally the environment and the experience were about the same, just very casual, enjoyable playthrough. As far as hidden-object games go it's not very animated or complex, but honestly I know some people prefer that, not everyone likes when the genre gets too diluted with mechanics and interactions. Again we have the day/night cycle which makes it a bit unique, I think it's because the devs is also treating the game as a chill background, if you wanted it to run as you doing something (I actually did it last game for some fan art). Can be 100% completed under 2 hours. I said this in the last review, but if I buy a hidden object game, what I am really paying for is your personal hand in the illustrations, which is why I don't buy hundreds of hidden cat games that look the same, I want to feel like there is character and thought put into the backgrounds, and I want to feel like an individual added some of their personality into the drawings. Someone said the game is a bit expensive, but I disagree, I think this is a fair price for that manual touch, I like how expressive the frogs are, and feels like the frogs are in the middle of the routine, with many detailed rooms that have a purpose. Very nice coloring again, the frogs also have some funny emotes as they transform when you click on them (also what is up with all the cracks?). (cuz you definitely take much longer to make these than most devs, but I assume it's the actual time it takes you to carefully make these panels, which is why I hold this game in a slightly higher tier than some other titles, it feels like you putting more care into the backgrounds) Maybe I was just slightly disappointed by the similar biome, it's branches but it still feels like the same environment from the last game, I kinda hope you will change the theme for the next one, I like your drawings, but I don't want only green-tree motif in all of them. I don't know, maybe send the frogs into space, or a carnival, or you know, something else that makes more sense to you than my dumb suggestions. [h1]Pros: [/h1] (+) The illustrations and the personality is what sells these drawings for me, I like the expressions of the frogs, feeling like I am exploring their little world while they doing their thing (+) Has a hint system on low cooldown, the color coding is pretty good as well, you can find most things without too much trouble, maybe except for some bugs, sometimes you just see the antennas ;) (+) A few fun settings like day/night cycle like the last game, with a few background colors [h1] Feedback: [/h1] - you know I did feel like I kinda played the last biome again, you did add more smaller areas and I liked all the clocks and dishes, but I didn't feel like there were new biomes, just similar take on the last one. Personally if it's another tree again, I don't think I would be very interested, but maybe it's just me. - I wonder if it would be worthwhile to have an optional mode where you could start the game with hints disabled, and maybe you get a little extra drawing in the end for the challenge, but also you could keep the hint system for regular mode. Just to encourage people not abusing the hints. [b]Overall Thoughts: 8/10 [/b] Like the last game, it's just a very basic hidden-object game, but it works because of the flamboyant frogs and the character that you giving them. It seems you want to make small and cheap games that you enjoy for 1-2 hours, and that is fine, as long as they are reasonably priced (and I think they are), I don't have a problem with that. I would have liked a little more biome change personally, I felt like it was mostly tree and the rooms again, but otherwise the drawings were very nice and had a lot of personality. It felt like it was a little longer, with a few more smaller locations. [code]Niche, obscure and underrated games: http://store.steampowered.com/curator/31294838-Hidden-Gem-Discovery/ [/code]

Happy frog noises! I've said most things I have to say about this game in [url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199834503393/recommended/3130800/]my review for the old one[/url] which was one of my best finds last year. So this is basically more of the same, which is a good thing! In my first review, I said the only thing that would make me enjoy the game even more would be a sense of progression, like through unlocking the blocked entrances after finishing other parts or finding the right item. Turns out the devs read that and made it happen in this sequel! I just got stuck because I didn't know how to get the key the first time around: all the counters showed that there was nothing left to find and the hint function didn't work, but the map showed one area not coloured in. Just like the first one, this is not a game to rush through and try to "beat" as quickly as possible. It's really worth taking your time to explore each of the adorable scenes and take in the soundscape. Some of the music is a little more eerie than in the first game, but in a very chill way. Really a little feelgood game through and through! [i]More cozy and combat-free recommendations? > [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45583336/]Treefrog wants to chill[/url] < [/i]

This is a very adorable and lovely hidden object game, do try out their first series too if you havent! I would like to thank my beloved amiga for gifting me this game and I really had alot of fun playing this =) It is a very relaxing and chill game, not over the top difficult and we can rely on the unlimited hint (with some cooldown period) Getting 100% is also very easy and doable, just have to find and complete all the objectives!

Comme le premier opus, et peut-être même plus, ce charmant petit jeu est vraiment très relaxant. Et plein de grenouilles très mignonnes :) Je recommande chaudement !

GOTY 2026 🐸

Played this game with my wife on day 1 while taking care of our sick cat. It works better than therapy. (Don't skip therapy though.) If these folks release one hundred more games, we'll buy all of them. Can't get enough. My wife said that if she was God, this is how she would make the world. Never left a Steam review before. 10/10.

The game revolves around an old frog who has lost his hat to the wind, which carried it to the top of a tree, the very same tree where he lives alongside many of his neighbors. In order to get it back, he needs to search through various scenes and find keys that unlock the path to the top. The presentation is nice because you do not play through individual stages. Instead, you explore a tree, entering openings that lead to additional rooms, each containing a different number of frogs. You can also leave a room and return later without anything being reset. Of course, you do not have access to the entire tree right away, and you need to complete a few scenes to unlock the remaining areas. Another interesting feature is that the scenes follow a day and night cycle. However, the nighttime makes objects a bit harder to spot and feels more like a visual detail than a gameplay feature. Various light sources illuminate the scenes, including glowing mushrooms and candles, which give the nighttime sections a nice atmosphere. Thankfully, you can turn the time cycle off in the settings and choose to play with either only daytime or only nighttime. The scenes are colorful rather than black and white, as they are in some similar games. The only transparent objects are the frogs themselves, which become fully colored once found and then smile and wave at you. While some frogs are friendly and fully visible, many are mischievous and very good at hiding. You might only see a tiny part of their head sticking out or a hand peeking from behind a leaf. It can be difficult to tell that these parts actually belong to a frog, so clicking around everywhere is encouraged. The other reason to click everywhere is the presence of bonus items in each scene. These appear multiple times per scene, although not every scene contains every type of bonus item. They also repeat across different scenes, so you need to watch out for tiny feet revealing insects, blooming leaves, dumplings, mice, and several other objects. The only real challenge comes from a few items hidden in interactive areas, such as drawers or windows. These spots do not stand out in any particular way, and outside of these situations, the scenes do not offer additional interaction. For both frogs and bonus items, each scene keeps track of how many you have found, and there is also a map that allows for quick travel between scenes. Finding all the frogs is the main objective, and completing a scene gives it a visual mark on the map. If you also find all the bonus objects, the scene earns a star. Overall, this is a very casual hidden object game, and it does not put much pressure on the player. If you get stuck, a hint will draw a circle around a random object you have not found yet. Hints also recharge fairly quickly, making it easy to continue without spending too much time searching for a single well hidden frog or bonus item. Overall, it takes around one hour or less to find everything.
