Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge

This game was VERY cute and easy enough to get perfect achievements for. However, the grind of getting every color of every frog variation really took it out of me. I played for a while when I first got the game, took a break, and only recently completed the achievements. I don't recall the story but it was easy enough to jump back in control wise, I recommend using a mouse and keyboard. The three-star picture achievement took me a while as well because I did not realize nor remember that I should have clicked on the sign near the ginger woman to see what was required. Other than those issues, the game play was fine. At the price point this game is at, I cannot recommend it, but if it goes on sale and breeding games are your niche, go nuts.

偶遇传奇捕蛙人，引诱设陷飞掠压榨传阅提炼一气呵成，恐怖如斯。四处宗门八大家族名蛙接连失守，沦为人类玩物。更有基因实验惨绝人寰，一半时间都用在弱逻辑纯运气的基因配对，为合成世上本无存在的虚无种族，财力物力人力如流水般无所不尽其极，实在不堪回首。

Very cute artwork, but somehow the gameplay doesn't feel compelling enough. It's true there is a narrative, but the tasks are extremely repetitive and the customizing is a bit flat.

Super cozy and relaxed game, loved the art style and presentation, and there seems to be a decent level of depth and complexity to the frog collecting. It's a bit expensive for what appears to be on offer, but if you love this genre, you'll love this game.

A cozy game based on frogs. Self-explanatory but executed so perfectly. The design looks super cute, and the gameplay was extremely satisfying. There was something to do constantly! Something I appreciated also is that you're not stuck with a wait period. There are no unreasonably long timers, which I adored. Just a simple, straightforward gameplay. Also, there are so many different variations of colors and designs for the frogs. It was truly satisfying seeing all of them being unlocked. The picture-taking feature of the different frogs chilling was super clever, as well.

Cute game, but definitely not worth the price. Took me 6h to finish the story and 16h in total to 100% it, but honestly it could've been a 3-4h game for much cheaper and it would've been great. The game is not challenging in any meaningful way. The achievements don't support the optimal gameplay, so I had to redo my optimal plant/water placement to get the 100% bioscore achievement for example. Speaking of optimal gameplay, I would get quests to level my sanctuary up to lvl 24 when I was already on lvl 27, without even trying - everything makes you money and nothing really costs all that much, so you'll be drowning in money eeven before finishing the story. Even unrooting the plants you've already planted will refund you. You have 4 tabs to switch between, your refuge (frog area), wetlands (planting area), billabong (frog and planting area) and mangrove (frog and planting area) and there's.... Very little difference between these when it comes to gameplay. The biodiversity is taken very literally and is the same across the board (plant one of each) and the minigames to make stuff are fun when you first play them, but then they become disappointed because there's no difference between making jam and a dress. The achievements are also very "spend enough time and you'll get it" - I got all but one (get all frogs) - within 10h easily, the only two I had to work towards were the get all frogs and get 100% bioscore achievements, and one required redo-ing my wetlands and the other required about 6 to 10h of tic tac toe gameplay. Ngl, I was over it by the time I unlocked the 3rd frog area and was worried that there was going to be a 4th one. Luckily there wasn't, but man, lmao. I think it was very cozy and promising at the start, and if it was a 3-4h game with one frog area and one planting area, I think I'd be happier with it. It'd work well as a mobile game as well, but idk. As it is, I don't think the cuteness of the frogs justify the price

Only got as far as the 15% bioscore before the game became unresponsive to keyboard inputs. Bugs appear to be a commonality across most people's experience, so I imagine this isn't an isolated event. Beyond that, the game feels like a half-baked point-and-click grind. There appears to be story attached to it, but the way the game just throughs you into it means you have very little time to get invested in these characters. I do like the art style, but the frog types are... bland to say the least. There are no alternate looks for the titular frogs beyond eight different patterns out of different palette combinations of the eight colors available. The frogs all use the exact same design. It feels more like I'm collecting a single frog species of fancy breeds than forming a wildlife sanctuary.

Relaxing cute game, grindy at times

Adorable, relaxant et beaucoup plus de contenu que ce que je pensais ! Les graphismes sont vraiment jolis et mignons. J'adore ! :)

Cute, easy, cozy game. It absolutely feeds into my love for collecting and completing collections. I will play this for hours to collect all the frogs! It's easy enough that you can watch tv or talk while playing without being boring (yet).
