Frogun

The short review I would give this game: It reminds me of games of the PS1/N64 era, and if you like games of that ilk, you are doing yourself a disservice not playing this game. The long review, well, buckle up because I got a lot to say: First thing's first, the aesthetics hit the nail on the head. Graphically, it looks the part of 5th gen console releases. It is a beautiful game, with adorable character designs (Renata is tied with Niko from OneShot for most adorable protagonist), and some breathtaking visuals while still staying with the limitations of looking like 5th gen games, there were points I just had to stop and admire the skyboxes, particularly in the ice levels. The story is sweet, with Renata going into the Beelzebub Ruins to save her parents who have not returned, armed with the titular Frogun. It also has a beautiful soundtrack, courtesy of Adam Foley/Altered Ego, which I think fits each level theme perfect, while still being great compositions in their own right. The gameplay, however, is the big thing with games, and this game has some great movement, combined with well designed stages. It was very fun going back into levels and getting the best times I could, or finding all the treasures for a full emblem. That being said, while it nails the 5th gen vibe, that comes as a double-edged sword. There are some moments in the game where hitboxes are not as generous as they may seem. And, while the movement itself and level design is fun, aiming the Frogun can take some getting used to, and, dare I say, can initially feel a bit "janky." Oh, and do not be fooled by the early stages of this game, for later on, it gets HARD. Just a warning. However, for the most part, it never seemed unfair to me. If anything, the fact Frogun got so hard in later levels was quite the welcome surprise. In truth, I did not want to put this game down, and it has that "just one more try" feeling that gets me so hooked into games of this type. To finish, I'd recommend this game. It is a very fun time, but do not be fooled by its appearance, as it can be deceptively hard in the later portions. But my question to you is this: Are you up to a good challenge?

Buen juego, me gusta el estilo grafico. la curva de dificultad esta bien, que no engañen los graficos por que se pone complicado al final. lo unico malo es que hay que farmear monedas para el 100%, al menos mas de 2 horas despues de completar todos los niveles. Lo recomiendo, tambien recomiendo subir el % de zona muerta del joystick, por que es muy sensible en los controles

Full of personality. Fun little platformer with a fun grappling mechanic (no double jump). Music was energizing and invokes arcade vibes. Characters are simple but charming. Does not gate progress, but offers no death runs and time challenge for each level (and you can be even faster than that hint hint). Despite being simple you can still cheese the mechanics now and then to get better time. The final boss was actually the best boss (rare). My favorite was the rival races. Trailers are accurate. I think it’s worth the price. Respects your time easy to pick up and put down. Easy recommend.

Oh this was challenging. Very cool gameplay that WILL keep you on your toes. I did my best to be a completionist as i usually am with these, but i could not get good enough. Tried to keep going without the completionist attitude, but i started to feel tired. Something about these levels felt like they were too many? Or overwhelming somehow. Something wasn't clicking with me, and it's kid friendly aeathetics didnt qhite align with my tastes pushing me even further away. Again, its a fun, challening, game with a ton of content and i can see it being satifying to get good at it. But i couldn't take it anymore. The gamelah, aesthetics, level design, difficulty stopped me on my tracks. Did not finish it, dont think ill come back to it. But, i think its mostly a taste issue more than a mistake from the developer.

Muy buen juego plataformas, sus gráficos nostálgicos te atraerán y el vicio de hacer el speedrun en cada nivel te atrapará! Los jefes son muy agradables de luchar, y al final de juego (post game), hay DOS boss rush! Como punto en contra, la cámara a veces te juega malas pasadas. Aconsejo a cualquier persona que le gusten los plataformas

Difficult

too long for it's worth and not really worth trying to 100% it

Really kind to the player. In everything except how many coins you need for 100% gallery and hats, but I guess a <2h extra farming is reasonable. Oh and the race levels have no checkpoints, but you'll get them. Overall, a great time. Knows what it wants to be, and pulls it off.

Started out fun but the fun nosedives pretty quickly as there's tons of cheap deaths, the frogun targeting the wrong things and feeling very inconsistent, being yeeted across and area falling to your death, some really difficult platforming even early on, way too few checkpoints not to mention the tedious feeling of having to collect all coins, emeralds, notes AND beat a friggin timer means you're absolutely forced to replay levels to inflate game time stinks. And the sound effects are absolutely terrible. I'm going to play it a couple more hours because I have absolutely nothing else to do atm but after that it's uninstalled forever. Hope the sequel gets a huge improvement.

I had so much fun playing this game. The retro graphs are really pretty and nostalgic
