About
In Lillapad, you play as Lilla, a young girl cursed into a tadpole by the mysterious King Frog. But when she discovers she can shift between tadpole and frog forms by hopping onto lilypads, a magical adventure begins.
Explore a magical pond hidden in her backyard, solve puzzles using your dual forms, and search for two missing petals needed to restore the Golden Lilypad, the most powerful lilypad in the pond, and break the curse to become human again.
Lilypads aren’t just decoration, they let you swap between frog and tadpole anytime. Each form has its own strengths, so you’ll need to use both to make it through the pond.
Swim through the deepest parts of the pond, squeeze into hidden spots, and move lilypads into place to shape your own path. You may be small, but that has its advantages.
Climb over rocks, break weak walls, and swing across gaps using your tongue. You can even swallow seeds to spit them out to solve puzzles. On land, your frog skills truly shine.
Ruggero is a mysterious Italian frog who helps you uncover your transformation abilities. He’s your guide through the pond and the key to understanding your destiny.
The Golden Lilypad is the only thing powerful enough to break your curse—but it’s missing two petals. You’ll need to use all your frog and tadpole tricks to find them, solve environmental puzzles, and get your human self back.

I played this game as a part of my new "Freebie Friday" series, where I explore the steam page for free games to see if they're slop or not. Gameplay here: https://youtu.be/8M5vwxRLfX4?si=pjUmsa8pZbTq9k1V Review: Lillapad is a cute 3D platformer where you play as Lilla, a little girl who is turned into a frog. The goal is simple, find 2 golden lotus petals to transform back into a human. The gameplay is easy but, I will say, feels jank at some points. The movement can feel floaty when jumping and the swing mechanic with your tongue was weird. The mechanic would have you click the LMB to propel you forward from a branch. The lower you were from the branch, the farther it would push you forward. I had a lot of trouble with this at first and I think a different approach would have been easier. However, I do give props for it being different than most swings in other games. The puzzles in the "levels" were straight forward and would use each mechanic nicely. There is 1 collectible type in this game which are red buttons. There are only 10 of them, which I found to be a great number for the size of the game. I genuinely enjoyed my time with Lillapad and would recommend if you're looking for something short to play, plus it's free! My only other "gripe" I have about the game is that when I resumed my playthrough, after having finished the game, I couldn't "beat" the game again. I was searching for all the buttons and couldn't find the last one. I thought "okay, I will just go to Ruggero and get the ending again" but I couldn't. The game didn't respawn the petals and I had no other way to end the game besides hitting ESC and quitting from there. Maybe if I found the last button it would have worked? Unsure but will try again in the future. Thank you devs for making this game!

This game is genuinely adorable. The visuals are gorgeous, the world is full of charm, and the puzzles strike a great balance: tricky enough to make you think and coordinate your movements, but still intuitive and satisfying to solve. There are also collectible red buttons scattered around the map, which reward you for exploring and give the world a bit of extra depth. It’s a great touch that encourages curiosity without feeling forced. Unfortunately, I didn’t finish the game. I collected a few buttons and one petal before hitting the same wall over and over - the swinging mechanic. Most of my playtime ended up being spent trying to swing on the yellow leaf, and it just… doesn’t work consistently. I managed to swing on the first one, but no matter what angle or approach I tried, I couldn’t get the second one to register. I’m sure it is possible, but the mechanic feels so finicky that it becomes frustrating rather than fun. What makes it worse is how long it takes to climb back up to retry the jump. Missing it once is fine; missing it ten times because the swing won’t connect properly is where the enjoyment starts to fade.
Pushing a lily pad: there should be some kind of stopper on the lily pad to ACTUALLY push it. I was having difficulties 'cause I'm pushing to end up getting on it with no way of steering it. Lastly I can't seem to reach another flower branch when 'tongue swinging'. I just end up stuck on one branch to then be flung sideways not forward swinging
A metaphor for the matrix (tadpole pill or frog pill), which Itself i don't think was a metaphor for anything . Cute game to play with a partner, good job! The leaf swinging mechanics were hard to pick up on at first, Idk if a kid could do that, but as a grown adult (60 years old) who is very smart (i have a job), it was actually fun to get the hang of. Havn't finished yet, but excited to finish it with my partner. Thanks for cute free game.

A pretty cute game with some well thought out mechanics, especially for something free. Be careful with the movable lily pad, so you don't accidentally push one underneath things instead of beside them.
O jogo é simplesmente lindo! Os gráficos são fofos, além da história passar algo realmente importante sobre respeitar a natureza e os animais que ali vivem! Recomendo muito que joguem e tenham essa experiência... O único contra que eu queria apontar, mas que isso pode ser apenas por ter jogado no teclado e mouse: algumas manobras no jogo são difíceis de acertar. Quando precisa pendurar em várias plantinhas, as vezes a Lilla não vai pra frente e você tem que refazer o quebra-cabeça da cena pra tentar de novo. No mais, tudo lindo ♥ um jogo bem calmo e relaxante, com um final surpreendente! Quem sabe não tem uma continuação? Espero que sim!
Nice little game about torturing tadpoles. The grappling is frustrating though, so I didn't make it very far before I turned the game off.
