June 2024

The good: - Insanely good enemy design boss design - Fun weapons with interesting upgrade paths - Not exactly a metroidvania in the classic sense but there is some backtracking or exploration type abilities you unlock later to get access to new areas - Fun and interesting exploration, and the entire world is interconnected (more souls-like influence) The bad: - Lackluster sound effects - Awful music. I played basically the entire game with the music off. This actually added to the atmosphere and made the game more unsettling (in a good way) Overall I'd give this game a 9/10, only losing a point for the sound/music. The gameplay and atmosphere are absolutely incredible. Can't believe this was made by pretty much one person. If you are looking for a fresh take on an exploration-focused FPS with tough and innovative enemies and boss encounters, I can't recommend this game enough. Just turn the music off.

Overwhelmingly underrated game for the vast amount of content this game offers for its low price, especially considering it's a solo dev. The bosses are varied and all have unique and fun mechanics, and there's also so much to love for those willing to explore and find the games quirky little secrets. The humour and art style is also one of the game's many strengths. Overall such a surprisingly well crafted experience. Coming from a Fromsoft fan the games difficulty is also nothing to laugh at, and playing at the intended diffculty, some of the bosses were harder than many famous "hardest bosses ever" types. Amazing job to the dev!

Bought it on Iron Pineapple's recommendation. There's a loooot of things done right. The environment, enemy design, bosses, and tongue/power up mechanics are excellent. The music....not so much. Turn it off and throw on your own. I have gotten lost, but that one's on me lol -- not used to not having a quest marker. Was having trouble keeping track of enemies - upping the field of view helped immensely -- you can set it anywhere between 10-300 degrees. Love it. There's also a speedrun timer built in, and this feels like a game where it would work well. Might give it a try, but honestly -- I just want to see this guy cook. The first two bosses were a good time. The weapon switching/ammo drops feels inspired by Doom, and I've just unlocked the dash ability. Already excited to see the post game boss fights he's been adding.

The music is utterly insufferable in numerous places. It consists of very short, repetitive loops that completely ruin the initial experience. The gameplay and world is fun and interesting though. I found the game very enjoyable despite this problem. It does help a bit if you lower the volume of the music in relation to the sound (I halved the music volume). The weirdness combined with the exploration in this game reminds me a little bit of Northern Journey (Which I highly recommend), in a.. "brother from a another mother" kind of way, as they have plenty of stylistic differences to one another but give a similar sense of discovery and adventure. There are 2 difficulty options: Classic (the intended difficulty) and Easy. I played on Classic and it gets pretty tough. There are some challenging areas where you get locked into fighting a few waves of enemies, like a mini-arena. The boss fights are the hardest part of the game and can take many attempts to learn to overcome. It can be fairly demanding on your reaction speed and requires you to consistently time your dodges properly. Bosses feel very well balanced if you like hard bosses and have been one of the highlights of the game for me. The game is pretty light on the metroidvania aspect despite marketing itself as one. You get a few traversal abilities and there is ability-gated backtracking but when you get a new ability there are only a few places to go back and use them. There's also some 'key and door' gating although progression is more blocked by the bosses which will take up the bulk of your playing time. The game has a world map but not individual area maps. Areas are pretty small with just a few branching paths, so I didn't feel I needed a map to maintain my bearings. Frogmonster is as much a game of exploration as it is boss fights and I really enjoyed how it handled both of these aspects. It is my favourite game to come out this year and I look forward to a sequel (or whatever the dev decides to cook up next).

April 2024

Cute and quirky shootervania! Runs well, voxel art all fits well, procedural animations and animated voxels adds a bit of extra flair. Starts off a bit slow but once you get some more abilities and weapons it starts to pick up. I'd recommend playing until the third zone at least before forming your opinions, as that's when the combat starts to ramp up!
