Community Insight:
This game was really fun! Adding some new mechanics and more levels would be much appreciated.
Shadow frog was one of the coolest mobile games Ive ever played! The opening page of the game, was just amazing! Awesome presentation! The little campfire and tent, then the eerie howl was so mystical and unique. Also we adored the music! We can understand how it could seem repetitive to some people, but it wasnt for us. It kept us invested, and trying hard to beat each new level. Another thing that we appreciated was that it was difficult, but not impossible. You were able to keep progressing through the game, and while it was short, we were satisfied when It was over. If more levels were added in the future, that would definitely be great, but if not, it was a very enjoyable, short little game. Props to the producers.
This is basically super meat boy for the phone. So much fun only downside is that theres way too many ads so we had to pay to remove ads. Would recommend.
The retro design is great! Our favorite frog game ever. We need more levels!!! Id love to see more of this cute game.
This was a really fun game we loved everything about it: the music, the art, the levels. There is one thing that we would like though. For it to be longer. We live this game and want to see more of it much love.
Really fun and cool idea, but the 32 short levels felt more like a proof of concept than a final product. Also, the Game Center is definitely there, but we cant find any way to see the achievements. Otherwise a great experience with really good art, music, and controls.
Dont get us wrong; this is a wonderful game but its super short. Theres only like 32 levels that u can finish within a minute each. We would love if they add a lot more levels so we can get more invested instead of just ending it so abruptly.
You guys can really up the potential of this game if you gave it more worlds and maybe some lore. The gameplay is super fun and the character is so charming but thats all it is. It could be so much more, like for instance where did the shadow frog come from? How did they escape them? Is there any hidden enemies? So!! Much!! Potential.
Interesting mechanics, appealing pixel art and music, satisfying gameplay. There are 4 things we notice: 1. Game is super short, we would love some more worlds and different mechanics or maybe a boss of some sort. 2. The boxes? We never needed them they just seemed like they were placed randomly in the level. 3. The wall-hang mechanic was super annoying. We never needed it and it always slowed us down. 4. When you lose too many times the shadow is removed. It takes all the challenge out of the game and we couldnt figure out how to get it back. Overall a fun game we just want a little more.
This game is so cute! But its too short. Its very addictive. We really like the music, it fits the game a lot! We think if the music was a bit softer… Kinda cuter? It would fit more. But honestly, we dont really mind about that, the music is already so cute. The frog you play as is adorable! Which makes it more enjoyable. The art style is great! We love this game a lot. Its relaxing. We like how it can be challenging sometimes. Im just sad cause theres no more levels. You dont have to do this, but can you keep adding to it? We really liked it. We have some things about the game we dont like. But for now we think Im gonna stop here. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
After playing this game for a solid 10 minutes, we could already tell what we liked and didnt like about it. The goods: Amazing background music that keeps us going with the flow off the game. Outstanding retro design that everyone can enjoy. A unique challenge that mimics the player to make you think a bit more of your approach at some levels. A leaderboard with completion time for each level so you can challenge yourself to do better. The bads: Repetitive levels and minimal new challenges as you progress. Sometimes unforgiving platforming that more often than not would make us lose. Although this did help us win more, we would sometimes just phase right through the shadow frog and some other obstacles at random which can ultimately lead to unfair times on the leaderboard. To get more specific we would sometimes do one move and say get passed some spikes but end up losing to something else. After restarting the level we would do the same move and end up losing. Im talking sliding off a wall into spikes but not hitting them, and then doing it again only to hit them. Now, just because we wrote more on the bads than the goods DOES NOT mean this game is bad, we actually really enjoyed it for the most part. Ive never been one for platforming games but this one is easily an exception as its actually fun.
This is an excellent game both mechanics and retro design. We purchased this game and every time we go to play the game, it shows ads. Its hard to find the restore purchases link in settings but then when you want to quit the game and go back to playing again the ads show back up. Id give this game 5 stars if they fixed that problem. Jsami.
Free game, so thats cool. But we beat it in like 15 minutes. So dont buy it if it ever has a price.
Looks great but feels a bit weak.
After playing barely two minutes, now more time trapped in ads than in gameplay. We cant get into the flow of the game since Im on our fourth ad now, and these ads take forever and have misleading small buttons. Deleting.
Interesting game idea, however one feature that makes the game unplayable is grabbing at an edge. This happens when you collide with the top-side of a block, and instead of wall sliding or jumping off, the game puts you in a frozen state. Once you click, youll climb to the top of the ledge facing forward. The issue is not just that you need an extra click to climb up, but a lot of times you dont want to climb up and instead want to wall jump. Especially in level 28 this feature becomes very frustrating. Also, the graphics are overall just very small and hard to see. When in vertical mode, the gameplay is way too small, but in horizontal mode the map screen is tiny. Its a good game but ruined by a couple really bad features.
See, this game has an amazing concept, and the presentation is amazing. We would give it 5 stars if the game wasnt so tedious though. Theres times where the double jump doesnt work, so you die. Also, whenever you die after going to a checkpoint, it doesnt go to the time it was when you were AT the checkpoint for the first time. After that happens Im left to restart it because we dont want 20 extra seconds to that timer. Another problem is if you slide down a block that have spikes on it, it kills you because you slightly graze the spikes. That is the WORST. Because of all these little things we end up getting so many ads that we have to take hours of breaks from this because it makes us want to scream. Im sorry if this is a bit too harsh, this game just really frustrates us because we really want it to be playable.
We love the little background and the animation but the game is just. Boring.
Really bad graphics. Like 2 pixels per inch bad.
